Honourable Sir,

                                               SUB :- APPEAL BY CRICKET LOVERS
        We are highly grateful to you  for managing some time to read this letter.This is not just a simple  letter,but a letter which raises the voice of all CRICKET lovers,for JUSTICE.
       The EXCLUSION of Mr.Saurav Ganguly,who has brought immense FAME to our COUNTRY and to some extent projected our COUNTRY in global SPORTS ARENA is currently being treated shabilly by our selection board.Even those involved in the MATCH FIXING,and various other sports persons who were tested positive in the DOPE test,were not  humiliated in such a manner.
        It is very sad to notice that even after 58 years of independence  love to be dictated by the WHITE SKINNED PEOPLE.The symbiosis relationship of Mr .KIRAN MORE  and Mr.GREG CHAPPELL  is widely open,the EXCLUSION of Mr.Saurav Ganguly is nothing but a result  of mere ego clash and the BCCI seems to be turning away its face from the issue.
        Although BCCI is a privately runned,we seek your intervene in this matter as it involves the sentiments of millons of FANS across the COUNTRY.
        JUSTICE delayed is JUSTICE denied.So we kindly request you to take out atleast 5 minutes of your valuable time and speak to the BCCI president and the selectors about the inclusion of Mr.Saurav Ganguly in the forthcoming test match against West Indies,although this is a minor issue in comparison to the various major problems of our COUNTRY.

        It is not a "CHAPPELL SAURAV saga",but a demand for JUSTICE.
        In a COUNTRY like INDIA where the value of honesty holds PRIME,it seems Mr.Ganguly has been penalised for speaking the TRUTH,the why do we say "SATYAMEVA JAYATE"?
        Without taking much of your precious time we heartly request you to speak to Mr.Pawar.Sir you are a light of hope in the darkness for us.Our emotions are ignored, and if you also do not speak up then the on TRUTH and JUSTICE will very soon vanish from the HEARTS of people.
        "THIS IS A DEMAND FOR THE INCLUSION OF SAURAV GANGULY"
                                                                                                

                                                                                Thanking you
                                                                                Yours excellency Sir,
                                                                                (Kasturi ,subhashree,stuti,
                                                                                 suraj,ipsita,chandan,chinmaya,
                                                                                saswati ,lipi and all CRICKET LOVERS)

[edit] Recent edits sourced from Indian Express

This recent edits may have been a good faith edit, but I am not sure whether we need to use such a obviously biased and factually incorrect article.

After Dalmiya's removal, more cricket players from Maharashtra (incidentally the home state of Sharad Pawar) and the south Indian states were included in the national squad, not necessarily on the criterion of merit.

Who exactly are the Maharashtrians who were picked "not necessarily on the criterion of merit" ? Munaf Patel, who took 7 for 97 on his Test debut ? Wasim Jaffer who scored a double century is his last Test match ?

In the 2005-06 Ranji season, Wasim Jaffer topped the averages with 112.50. If you exclude Ganguly, the best that a Bengal player managed was SG Das' 45.16. Ramesh Powar (the only other new "Maharashtrian", others are Tendulkar and Aggy) took most wickets (42) among the bowlers at an average of 22 which is better than any Bengal player who took more than 10 wickets [1]. Munaf Patel took 34 wickets at 19. After Ganguly who took ten wickets, the next best Bengali is Shibshankar Paul who averaged 25.38.

it has also been noted by cricket commentators that other than Ganguly, who managed to survive through his captaincy by dint of sheer hard work and merit, no other player from Bengal was included in the national team, during both his and Ganguly's tenures.

Dalmiya's was the sec of BCCI in 1990/1, 1993/4 - 96/7, and president from 2001-4. During 1990-1, Saradindu Mukherjee (and possibly Subroto Banerjee) was selected for India. In the second term, Prashanth Vaidya and Utpal Chatterjee played ODIs for India. In 1994/5, Chetan Sharma who had defected to Bengal in the previous year was picked. Narendra Hirwani who moved to Bengal for a season in 1996/7 and who had played only one Test in the previous six years, played two Tests in 1996/7. Deep Dasgupta was picked in 2001, which may have been during or just before Dalmiya's third term. Dasgupta continued playing well into Ganguly's tenure. Rohan Gavaskar was picked during Dalmiya's third term. Between them, these eight players took two 3 WI (never more than three) and scored one hundred.

Unless the editor can come up with facts to support his edits, I'll soon remove them. Tintin (talk) 06:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Understood, but it is preferrable to have a neutral POV. LordGulliverofGalben

Thanks for the deletion. I should have noted that too and deleted it myself. Too many of the articles about present day Indian cricketers/administrators are biased one way or the other. Tintin (talk) 06:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
