Fightback

You can like him or hate his guts but one thing you simply cannot do is ignore Saurav Ganguly.He has seen the best of days as skipper of winning Indian team and faced the worst of times as a struggling batsman unable to conjure up a decent score on board.Its not that he has just played well in the last two innings but the fact remains that he has been playing consistently well and putting up decent scores.And what makes it special is that he knows that he was just one poor test match away from being discarded by the wise men of Indian cricket.Not many people believed that Ganguly would make a comeback after the Greg Chappell fiasco ,but he has proved all his critics wrong and that too in style.But the real test for him and the strong on paper Indian batting line up would come against the Australians in their backyard.Last time it was Ganguly's 144 in Brisbane test against the run of the play that not only saved India the blushes in that test match but also gave Indians an edge over the Aussies in the series.One hopes that Ganguly,Sachin,Dravid and Laxman would put up a show in Australia befitting their stature in world cricket and in the process teach the Australians a lesson or two !
