Farewell to Lord Snooty!


At last, the ICC did what the Indian public wanted and the selectors couldn't do. Make Ganguly sit on the bench for a while. The selectors predicament is understandable; Ganguly has done things in the past, both as a captain and a batsmen. But for now, it's best that he sits out the rest of the series. The damage however, has been done already.
But seriously, how can anybody err so much? This is not the first, second or the third time, Ganguly has been warned about a slow over rate. The last time he got away, peculiarly with an appeal. But now he gets to warm the bench for six matches. Last time a few people might have been concerned that he's not playing. This time with so much clamor around for his removal, barely anybody will notice that he isn't playing. India gets an extra batsman, thanks to ICC.
