Chaos

While Sourav Ganguly goes about filing an appeal against his ban, there is total chaos as to who is going to lead the side against Pakistan in the 5th ODI. I wish Sourav hade the sense to step aside and make this decision clear before going about filing his appeal. Now the whole team including the stand-in captain will be in a state of suspended animation till the last moment. This can surely not be good news for a team already under pressure in the series. Sourav playing the 5th ODI now courtesy a filed appeal isn't going to be a good thing either. Sourav Ganguly has not been good for the team this series and in this situation, in this manner he can only be worse.

There is a group of blind Sourav fans in India who care more about Ganguly and his place in the side than the welfare of Indian cricket - now Ganguly himself by this unprofessional behaviour, has let the welfare of the team out of the window - concentrating solely on what will help him to maintain his place in the side - at the cost of the team's fortunes.

Come on Sourav - you have been unable to score runs or lead the side well these last few months, at least you should have shown the courtesy and sincerity to handle this ban and appeal situation gracefully.
