Has Ganguly missed the boat?

Ganguly failed miserably in the Challenger Trophy Tournament. I believe that it was just a game. And anything can happen in the game. Sometimes you click but sometimes you cannot. That doesn’t mean you are less qualified. But I feel that current tournament was the best opportunity for him to knock the selection committee’s door. He still has cricket and his leadership qualities left in him. And with our own ‘Colonel’ Mr. Dilip Vengsarkar in charge of the selection now, I think Ganguly still has a fair chance.

I do believe that whatever goes up has to come down. Right, that is what we have been taught in the schools. They call it as ‘Law of Gravitaion’. But what matters is how gracefully one falls down from the top. Irrespective of all the things associated with Ganguly in the past, it would be definitely good to see him ending his career positively and on a happy note.

I must also say that is not possible for everybody. Very few people have retired gracefully. Some of them are legends like: Gavaskar, Sampras and so on.

Cheers,
Amol
