India's most successful captain Sourav Ganguly is set to herald the start of a new innings behind the microphone post-retirement after he was signed by ESPN STAR Sports as an expert analyst for the ICC World Twenty20, commencing in England on Saturday.
Ganguly will be part of an ESPN STAR Sports commentary panel including the likes of Ian Chappell, Ian Bishop, Wasim Akram, Sanjay Manjrekar, Harsha Bhogle and Nasser Hussain.
Ganguly, who will start his stint with the channel from the semi-final stage, said he was excited about his new role, which also comprises interacting with his former teammates.
"I look forward to interviewing my erstwhile teammates. I am very excited about my new role as the ICC World Twenty20 is the biggest event for an analyst like me and I look forward to the semi-finals and the final where I will be commencing my stint with ESS," he said.
R C Venkateish, Managing Director, ESPN Software India Pvt. Ltd. Said Ganguly's uncanny ability to read match situations made him fit for the job.
"Sourav is recognised by the cricket fraternity globally as one of the shrewdest captains in the history of the game combined with his extraordinary leadership skills his uncanny ability to read match situations gave the national team a defining edge during his tenure.
"His analysis and his understanding of the modern day game will now lend a new dimension to the overall experience in the commentary box," he added.
STAR Cricket, the 24 hours cricket channel from the ESPN STAR Sports stable, will telecast live all the 27 matches of the tournament.
If you find who is Fake IPL Player and Another IPL player.. Then what will be your first reaction against them??

My Answer is..
For FIP - I will ask him to teach English for me. (I dont think there is anything other than that with him.)
For AIP - I will ask him to predict the exact year when i clear my pending arrear. (If he say that then i wont read for the exam. hehe)
Cheers!!
Is Dhoni really utilizing the warm up matches?
3 things i noticed.
1. If Dhoni comes one down.. 70% of the matches we have lost while chasing(Ex: IPL).
2. He gave rest to Yuvraj. I do not think he is in form and he has to practice well, but He was rested against NZ.
3. He has not properly used our part time spinners.. like Jadeja and Yusuf as they have done well in the IPL.
Will see how things will come up for India.

From Cricket to Tennis...
It was flabbergasted when Nadal lost his match against Robin Soderling. But it was already predicted by Another IPL player.
A man can Predict once.. Twice.. Thrice.. 10 Times in a row?? Is it possible??
Have a look at this post..
http://anotheriplpalyer.blogspot.com/2009/05/next-month-will-be-next-phase.html
"And let see and I already told you that this time our beloved player Ra Na cannot cross Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel "
I saw this posting before the match Rafael Nadal lost to Robin Soderling.
Rafael is a Clay King.. No one expected him to loose against Robin Soderling.
Another IPL Player is not well versed in English(Like me), But he is trying to give his posts very interesting.
Is he a PROPHET or AN ASTROLOGER?? or he is ruinning all the entertainment, thrill and suspense...
He is getting popular day by day.
Is he reveal himself one day ??
Wait and See..
