Selfish innings of 51!!?? It was the turning point of the series man! Prior to that your GOD was hitting dirt in the face of the SA speedsters!Lets wait for Tendulkar to perform when India is chasing 275 runs and is 59 for 3.

GOD made 44 in that match when ball was new and swinging. Let me also explain the reason for me terming 51* from Ganguly as selfish (please read ahead if you understand cricket)
In any test match, when a middle order (so called world class) player plays with lower order, along with scoring runs, he performs one more duty of shielding tail from opposition bowlers by hogging up most of the strike. What Ganguly did was to take singles (many times on first ball of the over) just to add ot his score without worrying what will happen to tail ender. That was the way VRV Singh got out after Ganguly took single off the first ball of Pollock''s over. This is not one time thing. Below are some facts supporting it.
Let''s see the number of balls faced by Ganguly and other partner in later phase of India''s first innings
# Balls # Balls
Dhoni 20 Ganguly 11
Kumble 15 Ganguly 14
Khan 23 Ganguly 18
Sreesanth 2 Ganguly 0
VRV 19 Ganguly 16
Instead of Ganguly taking most strike tailenders batted for more balls. This shows that Ganguly was playing for his own runs (hence selfish) not worrying about Team''s score.
BTW, no comments on other points mentioned in the previous msg?
