Sourav Ganguly: All Talk and No Play
The latest from the Maharaja of Cricket..the God of the off-side...
This is what he has to say (The Week, August 14 2005)
"I don't mind the lack of attention. I got a lot of it for five years."
Why doesn't he concentrate on playing rather than just blabbering infront of the media...Why can't he be like Sachin who demolishes all kinds of criticisms with an excellent knock....
He is 33 years old for God'sake..When will he learn the art of keeping quiet when required...He has clearly been great as a motivator to the Indian team but how about performing well once in a while and acting a little more maturely...
I know this post will outrage many a true Bengali who will unflinchingly attribute the "crab" characteristic to me...How Bengalis are like crabs..They always pull each other down ....
Unfortunately, what Sourav does not realise that a lot of the attention that came to him was because of the Indian team's performance, which although inconsistent as always has been decent, especially on the feared foreign turf....He is important to the team but not all important, as his arrogance would have him believe.....
The media will shut up if he shuts up and plays good cricket!! We don't need a talking Sourav Ganguly if he cannot perform well!
