Even my daughter won't believe that pace scares Sachin - Ganguly
by Johny S Raj Sun 09 Oct 2011, 3:32 pm
First topic message reminder :
Former
Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly on Saturday, made light of former
Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar's claim in his autobiography that Sachin Tendulkar was uncomfortable against his pace in the Faisalabad Test in 2006.
"I don't think even my daughter
will believe that Sachin was scared of fast bowlers. You don't get 100
centuries, he is almost there (99 international centuries), and play for
20 years being scared of fast bowlers. You have good form and bad form,
but that does not signify you cannot play fast bowlers," Ganguly told
reporters here at a promotional event.
He said the controversy surrounding Shoaib's autobiography
"Controversially Yours" has not come as a surprise as it has happened
before with ex-cricketers penning their books with misleading anecdotes.
"I have experienced all this before. It is not just
Shoaib Akhtar or Shahid Afridi. There were also Andrew Flintoff,
Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist. You find all these things appearing
in a book. That is why I have not written a book yet," Ganguly quipped.
Hayden in his book 'Standing My Ground' had said that Ganguly and
Harbhajan chickened out after having a look at the grassy Nagpur strip
during Australia's tour of 2004.
While in his book 'Being Freddie, my story so far', Flintoff had
portrayed Ganguly as lazy and selfish and behaved like royalty. Ganguly
and Flintoff had played together for English county team Lancashire.
Ganguly said he was surprised and disappointed at the way these books were written.
"Write about good things. Write about India-Pakistan series in 2004.
Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi were part of the team. It was such a
fantastic tour," he added.
India had won both Tests and One-Day matches for the first time on Pakistan soil, during the bi-lateral series

Yeah, Sourav signed for HRV Cup to gain a momentum before entering IPL. He played for ND Knights, iirc.

@Zayen,
It means,
The thread is made to discuss a certain topic only. If it wasn't for that reason, then we might aswell just one thread, seperate threads are made only to discuss the topic of the opening post. Period.
So this basically means the this particular thread was made to discuss about Shoaib's Controversially Yours, book. And its inflictions upon Sachin Tendulkar. In the middle of this, it suddenly became a Dada Fan Club, yeah I love Sourav too, but this isn't the thread to be a fan club.
Then it swerved into HRV Cup and now is going towards the Best T20 team discussion, if you still can't get it, I am sorry, I have not enough words to explain.
Enjoy doing anything you guys feel like, just stating my opinion, even if no one wants to hear it.
