Will the 'Tiger' roar against the 'Kangaroos'?


After a lot of controversies, Saurav Ganguly has been included in the test squad for the series against Australia. Ganguly was not picked up in the “Rest of India” team that played a match against the Ranji Trophy Champions “Delhi”. He was dropped by Dilip Vengsarkar, who was the chairman of the selection committee during the last season. Kris Srikkanth, who is the new chairman of the selection committee, along with his team officials, has included Dada in the test match squad for the series against Australia which is scheduled to commence on October 9th. Many people are referring this as a ‘come back’ for Ganguly. This is not a ‘come back’ for him. He was there in the Indian team which played their last test match against Sri Lanka. After he was named one among the 15 members for the upcoming series, he was asked to play a match for India ‘A’ against the Kiwi ‘A’ team. He was run out for just 14 runs in the 1st innings and was out for just 6 runs in the 2nd innings. This doesn’t sound good for a player of his class. Well, will Ganguly shine in the upcoming test series? Will he prove good to Kris, who selected him in the Indian team? Let us all wait and watch. Keep your fingers crossed to see how the ‘Bengal Tiger’ performs in the series against the kangaroos. Let’s hope that the ‘Tiger’ will roar and make ‘Kangaroo’ as its prey..
