The media seems to have quite a problem with Sourav Ganguly these days. In spite of his above average performance after he has stated a comeback, he is blamed for every mishap in the team. He has been repeatedly alleged by the media for causing grouping in the team, blocking a place for new comers, camping of the team, world cup failure and recently of being an irresponsible player. 
Dada scored a century in the first test against Bangladesh at Chittagong. Soon after reaching the magical three figure mark he fell to the bowling of Mortaza in his pursuit of accelerating the run rate. The Media (esp. Star News) think that they are the biggest pioneers of Cricketing fundas and declared this act of Dada as unnecessary and irresponsible. In my personal opinion it was a good plan in Dada’s mind which didn’t work on that fine day. Anyway, Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties and luck also plays a major part in it. The score when Dada fell was well poised at 321 runs for the loss of only 3 wickets. The match had already lost a lot of time due to the unconventional showers. Dada tried to get quick runs, but failed. So, what’s wrong in that? At least he tried. His act was nothing like irresponsible or immature.
It’s high time that the media and the board stop penalizing this great figure in Indian cricket and respect his deeds. He took Indian Cricket to a different level during his reign of captaincy and it will be ever remembered in the minds of India Cricket fans.
