Sachin is truly god of cricket

Good to see the legends of the game giving the young guns a run for their money! And Dravid’s the best!!! Hoping to see a Bangalore-Mumbai showdown in the IPL finals.

why forgetting Ganguly’s name after all presently he is one of the top 5 scorers

don’t late ganguly[dada] down…he is the highest scorer from his side and not only that one of the best captain in this ipl including gaining his spot as a leading scorer in this tournament..

Sachin and Kumble - Two greats of the game not just because of their records but also for the passion they have for the game they love. Hardwork is an easy word to say but here are two hard working cricketers who are ready to give anything to make their side win - whether it is Mubai Indians or Mumbai or India for Sachin and whether it is RCB or Karnataka or South Zone or India for Kumble.

Sachin is od of cricket so age doesnot matter

I’ve followed Harsha Bhogle’s anti-Ganguly sentiments long enough to know that his (Ganguly’s) name wouldn’t find space in this article. Mr Bhogle the failed cricketer, and the biased commentator/writer unable to stomach the success of a Bengalee who rescued Indian cricket from the stink of match-fixing. Surely Bhogle, you aren’t suffering from the same Marathi Manoos syndrome that has afflicted half your ilk, are you? At times, I seriously wonder…

When I see your mocking eyes light up (remember how you did your best to mock the talented Gautam Bhimani when he was a rookie commentator, but that’s you…), I see this chronic inability in you to remain unbiased. It couldn’t be your Osmania upbringing, or could it be? And how serious an epidemic it is for Indian cricket to have unbiased men broadcast their unbiased views to millions of ready-to-be-brainwashed cricket lovers day after day…You are the cunning Indian cricket could do without…

No respect have you shown to the man who’s got his team 493 IPL runs, and finished third in the league stage (among run-getters) after 14 matches. All this at age 37 behind only the peerless Tendulkar and the spirited Kallis. Where are the youngsters?

He still fights, and lifts himself up. In the first IPL he sacrificed his wicket on 91 for the team’s sake, a lesser player would have gone on to get his century (he had a fair chance to be the first Indian 20:20 centurion, there were enough balls left in the match and KKR was coasting). A few matches later he hit 86 n.o. at a time when Indian cricketers were getting used to 20:20. Yet, you guys love to accuse him of slow batting, and so on…What a sordid shame…what a method in your cunning…No respect have you shown for one of India’s most spirited cricketers, none at all. He’s a fighter who’s had to time and again raise his game to drown out biased views like yours…Clearly, Arun Lal is fighting a lonely battle in the commentary box.

This has gone on a bit too far Bhogle. Be careful. It was Ganguly who gave Dravid a place in the 1-day side when all you guys (including your equally biased fellow commentator, the tall warrior with the standard clichés … “and in the end…(now that one we’ve heard about 2,000 times)…it has been a fascinating game…throws the kitchen sink…goes like a tracer bullet…. Keen as mustard…” you get the drift…) had written the wall off. Ganguly allowed Dravid to take on the keeper’s gloves, and Dravid found a place in the side. Yet, when Ganguly was unceremoniously dropped from the 1-day side in Oz along with Dravid (who deserved to be dropped anyways), you moaned Dravid’s exit, not Ganguly’s. Today, you do the same, eulogizing Dravid, and failing to mention a word on Ganguly, the man who pulled Indian cricket from the brink.

No amount of attending classes at the IIM, or counseling the MI team, or flashing toothy grins on the idiot box can teach you one thing … that is when to stand up like a man and clap when a hero pulls himself up each time he slips…it takes strength of character to be a Ganguly, and the lack of it to be a Bhogle…

Sorry, you deserved this piece Harsha, and I dare cricinfo to carry it…

I agree when mentioning the veterns’s perfomance in IPL-3 one should not overlook Saurabh Ganguly he excelled not only in batting but also in fielding bringing off some great catches.
One should also crdit the foreign veterns like S Warne, Glichrist, Symonds, Vittori, M Hatden, J Kallis,M Jayawardhane, who have performed admirably showing that age is no bar for T20 compition and veterns should participate in the compition. without being shy about hteir age.

You cannot blame bhogle only this is an absolute example of DNA problem that brings non supportive attitute towarda legends of some specific part of India
