No way to treat Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly deserves much better respect than this. To be dropped from the third test is very unfair for a batsman of his caliber. On top of this, the selectors choosing Wasim Jaffer in place of him does not make any sense whatsoever. With all due respects to Jaffer, you never replace a middle-order batsman (Ganguly) with an opening batsman (Jaffer).
Ganguly's performance in the Delhi test was not bad by any standards. In both is innings of 40 and 39, he showed his experience, maturity and class. He was involved in the highest partnerships of both innings, with Tendulkar in the first and with Yuvraj Singh in the second. These partnerships gave the Indian batting the stability it required to win the test.
Its the dirty politics the board (BCCI) is playing. A Bengali has gone out (Dalmia) so remove a Bengali (Ganguly). A Mumbaikar is elected (Sharad Pawar) so select a Mumbaikar (Jaffar). Even though this selection does not make any sense, I guess we have nothing to do but make our point of view.
