Nicely said bobbybond, i do agree with u that the success or the failure of any team can't just be attributed to the captain alone.... There have been world-class players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virendra Sehwag, Kumble, Harbhajan, etc etc who are also responsible for the change in the match decisions, sometimes.

You are right, that a captain's job also depends on how is he able to manage the players and their performance.... Even though, ganguly hasn't been able to fare full enough upto his capability, but he has managed to provide India with the highest no. of victories in tests and ODIs... So one can't rely merely on Chappell's remarks about Ganguly because one should keep in his/her mind that now-a-days politics in cricket is also on a height and so noone can prove/disapprove that what Greg Chappell says is entirely true/entirely false...

Hence considering all these facts, one must give Ganguly benefit of doubt...

while posting answers does have some merit.. in that you have to think before posting..a real GD is very different from a discussion which you guys are having right now.

you could use this thread to schedule real-time online GDs on Yahoo! conferences, GoogleTalk or MSN..or even on Shoutbox..that might prove useful.

As some one had put in before... this thread will become active only once the calls get out... and i guess there is a parallel thread running along. Kinda on the same lines.. http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-re...d-pi-prep.html . Started out as a GD/PI advertising business and then the last i know there was some discussion going on about some topic. If there r gonna be two threads running on the same line, then one is surely gonna die out. Ne ways, a messenger conference is really something that can be organised. But then there is a need for participants and timings.... which i don't thing is gonna happen at least till the calls are out.

ok guys
nice try
i also tried to have a online GD with yahoomassenger.

[gaurav200x]

guys,
i started this thread with the sole aim of gathering knowledge on the subject. I do admit that one can take the total advantage from it, because it lacks the element of Real time session. but then if we can get the knowledge of the topics, then it is also something and that's the whole point.

Hats off to u gourav. U really did a good job. But the topic on Sourav's captaincy is still on? Once u hv started the Topic for GD try to give a conclusion or change the topic after 1 or 2 weeks.

I am pretty sorry khalid. The the thing is that i am at home right now (vacations...) and so i am unable to take care of the thread for the moment. so i request other members of the forum to please take part in the thread activities, actively.

please remeber, i am just trying to help out others by making sure that the problems faced by people in GD can be eliminated to some extent.

Hi Gaurav,plz b back 2 the thread quickly. such nice,informative discussions shudnt b stopped 4 long.

The underlying motive with which Gaurav opened this thread is really good and helpful.But rather than starting on some general topics like saurav ganguly on which we can speak in the gd even without much knowledge ,wouldn't it be better if we introduce topics here,on which we cannot speak much if we dont have good understanding about the same,this will help create a knowledge pool for example.. some economic topics like economic liberalisation,rupee convertibility etcc.

Hi people i'm new to the forum (or should i rather mention i'm new to the site itself)..however i think the forum has great potential to serve as collection of ideas, data, facts, etc. presented by people with diff. perspectives. I dont know how effective the GDs on messengers would be..(with 5 people sending across IMs together i'd surely be confused b/w reading n replying..n by the time one's reply gets posted the GD may have moved to a different plane all together..). Considering that constrained capacity of the forum in stimulating a real time GD, we could benefit more from the same by focusing more on inputs from various aspirants rather than trying to make it real time.
As far as the topics are concerned I'd take sides with Anamika. Lets discuss topics which need some amount of research. This might get us more interested in finding out more about topics than we might if we were to google without a topic in mind. This brings me to another issue-selection of topics. Let us all contribute topics that we might be well conversant with or one that occupies a favoured spot in our areas of interest or even ones that we'd like to know more about though we dont know how to go about them. The moderator or anyone so appointed may then, select one of them. Lets have a topic discussed for a week or whatever time (preferrable not a long duration, so tht we can discuss varried topics) n on the last day we can scrap whatever topics we'd like to indivisually discuss. Whatsay?
