Umpires humiliate Ganguly at Eden Gardens

A Blog Report
Sourav Ganguly has lived up to his arrogant image again.
Ganguly was suspended from bowling during Bengal’s Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu on January 3. Test umpire K. Hariharan pulled up Ganguly for straying on the danger area of the pitch during his follow-through.
Ganguly, who took three of the first five Tamil Nadu wickets, was warned twice by Hariharan before being banned from bowling for the rest of the innings.
Ganguly later picked up an official warning for turning up late to bat in the closing hours. The umpires suspended play briefly towards the close for bad light, only to call all the players back to the field after 10 minutes.
And for over a minute, Ganguly made everybody on the field wait - for, he had taken off his gear assuming it was stumps.
Match referee Kiran Mokashi confirmed that the umpires lodged an official complaint for the delay. "The delay shouldn't have happened. The umpires have informed me of the incident, in the form of a complaint against the player,"Mokashi said.
