Period to "Dada"giri

Happy Morning, I don't know to how many!

Question: Anyone from our class who is a fan of Ganguly?
Note: Replying to every insane question is idiotic.

To fans of Ganguly alias Dada or to fans of Indian Cricket or to fans of this Sport itself, to whomsoever it matters, a news thats not very pleasant to hear..........

God on the off-side is retiring after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Friends, it is hard to believe this but not very surprising with so much focus and pressure on him right from the famous spat with Greg Chappell back in 2005. Its happy that youngsters will get a chance also at the same time its sad that we can no more see him playing for India. It is a mixed feeling, though. Thanks to the emergence of IPL, we can see him playing for Kolkata Knight Riders at least. We'll bid farewell to him but its not heart felt, is it? Don't you think he should play for a couple of years more..........

January, 1992: Makes ODI debut against Australia, scores just 3 before being dropped.
June, 1996: Scores century against England at Lord's on Test debut and follows it up with another century in the very next Test at Trent Bridge.
August, 1997: Scores his first ODI century in Colombo against Sri Lanka in his 32nd match.
May, 1999: Scores 183 in Taunton against Sri Lanka in the World Cup, then highest ODI score by an Indian.
July, 2002: Takes off shirt at the Lord's balcony after win in the NatWest Trophy final.
October, 2008: Announces retirement after the Test series against Australia.

Even Kumble indicated his retirement after this series. With this, three more are left. Will The Master Blaster be able to blast till the next World Cup? Can The Wall stand firm against the storm, storm of youngsters, BCCI, aging etc.,? Is Very Very Special approaching retirement Very Very Soon? Can Indian Cricket find replacements for these fab five? Don't break your head calculating the probabilities, TIME will answer the questions(I don't mean T.I.M.E. Institute, Killer's logic from me;-))

"Our blog" is meant for posting the stuff which is in a way or the other related to mca2k6ouce, and I could not stop myself from posting this as Cricket is in all of us, we play and watch Cricket so much and we are mad of Cricket in our own capacities ;-) but if you feel, the topic doesn't fit this blog, please excuse me:-(
