I think Ganga has to take a lot of the blame himself. Scoring back-to-back centuries against Australia is an outstanding feat, but other than that he hasn't done anything of note- ever. And as I said in the "Two Ideas to Improve Test Cricket" thread, he was actually the worst of the batsmen in the team staistically- so as you might call him, the biggest loser.
