Sourav Ganguly - another match winning performance

Who writes his scripts? Will he ever stop proving people wrong? A hunger to do well is what sets this man apart. Not the perfect technique, but the sheer will to stick it out and hang around come what may. That sums his 87 against South Africa on a crazy pitch.

That he has to fight for his place before every test match shows how much the Indian cricket selection think tank understands him or does not understand him.

How much different would his performances be if he had the assurance of the captain and selectors that he would be given an extended run come what may. Imagine the insecurity with which he and the other seniors are currently playing. Any talent needs security to flower.

With this kind of grit and determination, will he also not fight back into the one day team?
