"There are players who haven't scored in the last three series for India, even for the last one year. There are some who have changed their hairstyle more than they have scored for India.”
So said Sourav Ganguly on the eve the test series with Australia, as he explained his decision to retire once the series ends. He remains brusque over his teammates to the last.
The barnet jibe must be aimed at Dhoni. But who are the ‘haven’t scored in three series’ miscreants? Gambhir is an easy target, and Sehwag aside, all golden oldies have struggled recently. Including Ganguly, without a century to his name since the third test against Pakistan last December.
Ganguly seems to thrive on controversy, but can such a gruff assessment help India beat the Aussies? And can we think of a more negative opinion of ones team-mates uttered by a cricketer before their retirement?
