Gotta Hand it to Ganguly
His place in the side is under scrutiny. Yuvraj is breathing down his neck. Laxman has already top scored in the first innings and taken the pressure off himself. India has lost 3 wickets and there is more than a day left to get about a 100 runs. So even if Ganguly had dug his heels in and played a dour innings, no one would have faulted him.
And yet, he is the one showing positive intent even as Sachin Tendulkar tries his best to resemble a statue. Ganguly is cantering along at a strike rate of 85, even as Sachin struggles to keep it in the 30s. Ganguly has clearly learnt the lessons of shutting down the hatches in Bangalore, and other places.
With both Laxman and Ganguly having done so well, Yuvraj will have to cool his heels a bit longer.
