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 ?
