Sourav Ganguly : T-20 County performance at Northamptonshire 2006

Before IPL  T-20 , Sourav Ganguly played at County level at his six weeks stint at Northamptonshire. Though his performance was patchy at 4 days match , he did quite well in  two ODIs in bat , maintaining his international average of 40 and in  nine T-20 games  his performance in bat was quite comparable with IPL performance with 220 runs with an average of 27.50 and strike rate 103.77-almost run a ball( mind the English weather where ball swings a lot ).

The bowling was even better with a total scalp of 11 wickets with economy rate of  8 in 31 overs.

Now after knowing his recent astounding performance at DLF IPL tournament ( Read the Sourav performance at IPL 2008 at news section)  as an all rounder, what is your take on whole issue of Senior and junior ?
Don't you feel that only performance matters and nothing else?
Don't you feel that nefarious  politics in Indian cricket is actually stopping a great all rounder from shorter version of cricket ?
