Sourav Ganguly follows in the footsteps of earlier Indian captains, who kissed their bowling goodbye, or bowled only under duress, once they took over the burden of leadership. Perhaps Indian captains consider bowling infra dig or shy away from the additional responsibility, but Ganguly's recent three-wicket spell in the Colombo tri-series indicates that he has realized once again the increased options he is offering himself by bowling a few overs if not the full quota. After all, he is the Indian version of the man with the golden arm, isn't he?
