Ganguly isn’t finished with the game yet
Following his outburst on being unfairly scrutinised, Sourav Ganguly may have drawn a lot of pressure on to himself at the start of the Tests against Australia, but the pressure is unlikely to affect him much, writes Harsha Bhogle

Following his outburst on being unfairly scrutinised, Sourav Ganguly may have drawn a lot of pressure on to himself at the start of the Tests against Australia, but the pressure is unlikely to affect him much, writes Harsha Bhogle. He adds that the fiery denial of retirement from Anil Kumble has taken the attention away from Sachin Tendulkar. Read on in the Indian Express.
A lot of very fine players retire as bitter men; for the rest of their substantial life they carry the hurt of denial, believing they could have done more. It is one of the saddest things in the game and given the kind of career he has had, Ganguly must go out as a man at peace with himself.
