The axe has finally fallen!

DISCLAIMER: The author is neither a great fan of Ganguly nor just hates him. The article is full of 'may be's so they are just assumptions! Ganguly fans can very well skip this and read the next article!

He was asked to step down from captaincy. Then rested. Then removed from the ODI team. Was pushed to the limits of being removed from the test team. Was brought back in as a medium pacer. Dropped again, this time from the test team too. Today, it has got worse. Even if he scores tons and tons at the domestic level, he still cannot make a comeback! The reasons are simple! One, his blood isnt fresh. Two, More is the chief selector and he isnt going to look back!

Blame it on Chappell? Well Chappell says he asked Ganguly to step down to regain some form and concentrate on batting. Everyone knows both are... oops were good friends. So, thats a valid comment!

More? What has made him to issue a statement like he will not select Ganguly till he is the chief selector? He has been retaining Ganguly as captain all the while till six months ago! May be a tit-for-tat. May be he was being ordered by Gaguly all the while when the Dalmiyas where there.

Ganguly himself? Well, may be Prince Ganguly was ruling the BCCI and John. Then came Chappel, Ganguly's good friend. He found Ganguly out of form and wanted to 'resurrect' the prince. But it was against Ganguly's personal goals. He wanted to be captain and throw his shirt all over when ever India won. So he tried to escape that by his influence. All of a sudden, he found his puppets, the Dalmiyas, out of power! He was left alone. He still tried to rule but was chucked out! You may be a king, but thats in your territory!

May be its the end of his career. Definitely, this is not the farewell that India's most successful captain should have got. What can the BCCI do when he demands such a farewell? Take it, Prince of Calcutta!
