Ganguly has it in him to be one of India's finest captains

Nobody's perfect, as we all know or at least should know

Ganguly is the obvious choice

If I were a betting man, I'd take a wager on the Indian selectors retaining Sourav Ganguly as captain for the forthcoming South African tour, regardless of media reports of the Prince of Kolkata incurring their displeasure
