To be honest I am getting fed up with this guy. He repeatedly flouts the rules and seems to think that he is above them. He was banned for two matches (tests, as it would have turned out) by Clive Lloyd for the same repeated offence last year, a ban which was overturned on appeal. Stand by for an appeal against the present ban: it is bound to come. If it does, I believe he will be cleared to play the remaining games in the current series pending the outcome of his appeal. Then, I just hope that the Appeals Board increases his penalty to the maximum amount allowed - an eight game suspension, without reference to whether they would be ODIs or tests. They can have the rest of his match fee as well, as far as I am concerned. Somehow Ganguly must be forced to realise that the rules apply to everyone.
