winning multiple series in AUS and PAK and being runner up in 2003 WC in SA is 20 times better than winning 2011 WC in the backyard. teams of AUS and PAK were so touch back then.

[@dhiraj621]

India did not win any series in Australia when Ganguly was a player or captain.India defeated Pakistan in Pakistan in 2004 and 2006 when Pakistan team was not great.Akram,Younis,speed Anwar etc had already retired.

[@TheFeelyourself]

India retained the series in Aus, that time it was not imaginable. And wins in Pak soil never happened before as well - whoever retired, etc. So it is more about changing the history and the possibility - and Ganguly did it.

this is absolutely correct....that Australian team would hv eaten dhoni's team alive....McGrath ,Lee ,Gillespie ,Warne ...and that deadliest batting......Hayden, Gilchrist ,Damien Martin, Ponting ,Beaven ......dhoni would hv shit in his pants on a swinging wicket in front of McGrath........ P.S. I like dhoni ...but that Australian team was too good...And because of that , Saurav could not win the World Cup

[@rohitsailas4028]

When I watched the 2004 Bangalore test against Australia. The body language of the captain was lacklustre. He didn’t show any intent to win nor bat. Ganguly struggled with the bat and you automatically lose respect among teammates.
