  Whattashot

This Bengal tiger is made for big time. There are times, when Ganguly makes us believe that he is indeed larger than life. His timing is so sweet that the ball races to the cover fence in a hurry. He made his debut in the Mecca of Test match cricket, Lord's in England. A remarkable innings of 131, punctuated with 20 glorious boundaries as he defied the English attack and helped India post a big score. He followed his success in his first Test match with another big hundred (136) in his second Test match at Trent Bridge. He shared a big partnership of 255 for the third wicket with Sachin Tendulkar. Ganguly couldn't have announced his arrival in big time cricket in any better fashion.
