Finally Dada is back in team. What to say and what not to say. First I am just presenting few statements.
Lets see who stops Ganguly's comeback in the Indian Team. - Chief Minister, Bengal.
Ganguly will get his spot back in the Indian team, I am sure about that. - Mahindra (President, BCCI)
We are not please with Ganguly's past performance so he is not captain of Test team (22 Nov), We are happy with Ganguly's recent form so he is in Test team as all rounder (23 Nov) - Kiran More Chairman Selector
Ganguly shall not beg for place in the team, he shall earn the same himself - Kapil Dev
5. No Ganguly no match – Kolkatta Public (this is a real stupidity by those people. We can’t not have state wise reservations in the team. Has ever any part of India ever shouted apart from Kolkatta ?) This is a real rubbish act.
- Kokatta public shall take interest of India first rather than looking into Bengal favoritism - Kapil Dev
Besides all this, Dada is back in team as all rounder. But question is - Is Dada himself considers him an all rounder? When he was captain, he has done the least bowling. During last 5 years of his captainship he has not even bowled 50 over. Plus mere 5 Wickets in 5 years.Thus he himself is not considering him an all rounder. We all know he has been included in the team against Zaheer Khan who has shown supreme form this year in domestic cricket.
Whatever we feel or whatever we think, Dada is back in the team. lets see what Dada did after getting into the team
~~
Now He has been selected in the team so he is pleased. He reached to Temple in front of GOD with his Wishes (demand list). Lets see what happen their.
Sourav told the GOD, Please take care this time and no first ball BOLD. And also take care of 2nd ball onwards also. Sorry but help me in reaching double figure at least.
The GOD was having a smile on his face. Looking to this smile Ganguly got confused and though, uffff, this is the same old wish that I used to carry for last 18 months. They he uttered, Sorry sorry boss, please hear my new wish - minimum 50 runs and plus please get Sachin out before I come to Bat. I don't want to play under shadow of Sachin.
The GOD again has same smile, but now Ganguly has confidence so he has forwarded his new wishes (Demands) - listen, Let that Attapatu know that when I reach to crease, there shall not be any fielder in slip (damm, this is the place where I get caught often), Let that Vaas also know not to bowl like Zaheer Khan. Last but not the list, Umpire shall forget about LBW while I am on crease. Why shall they remember this useless rule?
Ganguly was in supreme confidence. He put his hand into pocket and brings out a paper which was carrying more demands.Then suddenly, the God has to interrupt and told - Hey kid, do you want me to do all the stuff, how did you forget that you are in the team because of my blessing only.
Ganguly suddenly jumped and outburst, don't lie; I am in the team because of blessing of Mahindra and Dalmiya. Not you. If you can't fulfill my wishes then let me know, I need to contact Attapatu through 3rd party (by the way he is famous of keeping $$$ in his hotel room)

Last note :
Selection committee has to put forward a reason that they have considered Ganguly's recent form in domestic cricket. Let's see his domestic performance. He has scored a century against north zone where TOI has quoted that it was a gift century by north captain Dinesh Mongia. 3 catches were dropped, only 3 fielders in front on off side and out of the off stump bowling.When he has faced the music of Zaheer Khan, he has put EGG in both the innings. Of course both were fighting for a place in Indian Team so Zaheer will not do any favor.
So again Selection committee has proven themselves a bunch of Jokers...
