KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS

It's time Sourav Ganguly is thrown out of the Kolkata Knight Riders team. His batting is woeful and his captaincy is bordering on selfishness. How else would one describe KKR's loss to the Royals by 30 odd runs with 5 wickets in hand. The only player other than Owasis Shah, who is capable of scoring runs at a faster clip, Angelo Mathews, was sitting in the dug-out dusting his pads, while our Sourav Ganguly, was merrily wasting lot of balls in the death overs, without rotating the strike and leaving Owasis Shah to do little too much at the end. Watching Sourav bat at the end was an eyesore. Having no concern for the team's cause, he was simply whiling away his time with gay abandon. Angelo Mathews was itching to get on the field. Poor soul, after enduring all the pain, he ended up being run out without facing a ball. Even in local gully cricket, the in-form batsmen would be sent in up the order, but it is not so in the case of Sourav Ganguly. He would ensure that he will only bat at the opportune moment and spoil the whole thing. He has the audacity to criticize his bowlers and fielders, at the end of the day, quitely forgetting his contribution to the downfall. Thankfully, Chennai Superkings does not have any such players in its ranks.
