Saurav Ganguly and the IPL auction

Saurav Ganguly aka Dada was ignored by the 10 franchises who were bidding in the IPL auctions last week. This has apparently caused a lot of heart burn in Kolkatta.

There could be several reasons for Dada going unsold at the auction.

1) He has not played any competitive cricket since the IPL last year.
2) He isn't exactly young and sprightly.
3) Even when he was young, he was not sprightly
4) A lousy fielder
5) A batsman who doesn't like running singles
6) A head strong captain who apparently doesn't see eye to eye with coaches who do not see his point of view
7) A cricketer who abhors training
8) Not a team man if not in-charge
9) Doubtful man management - those who say he managed Yuvraj, Bhajji and the likes in their early stages - also ought to look at the scenario where these guys were starting off in international cricket and would not want to piss the captain off. Let him try and manage Yuvi and Bhajji in today's times.
10) The management didn't want to spend money on a spent force.

But then how the hell did VVS get selected ????? What was thought of the bidders who bought him ?

The answer lies in the following statement made by one of our dear friends:

"Arre Goti...sachin ne to accha khela yaar...but yaar Laxman ne accha khela"..

Looks like he has rigged VVS selection using his hard earned pounds :)
