Hamlet and Prince of Calcutta

When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions. -William Shakespeare
By John Cheeran
I wonder whether the Prince of Calcutta is familiar with Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
But I'm a ready to concede that Sourav Ganguly has a gift for tragedies.
His email classic had a heroic figure, as per the demands of Aristotle, who betrayed his former mentor. Not even the Bard of Avon would have got his timing so perfect to stage the drama that Ganguly and co-conspirators put up in Calcutta last week.
And at the end of it all, Ganguly should take comfort from Shakespeare's lines that sorrows always come in battalions. The latest in the long list of Sourav's sorrows is that BCCI is planning to degrade his contract from class A to class C.
Ganguly lost the captaincy of the Indian team, lost his place in the one-day squad, lost his place in the Test squad, lost Bengal's captaincy, lost his form, had a miserable one-month stint for English county Northamptonshire and lost the battle against his former godfather Jagmohan Dalmiya.
Will there be more sorrows for ?
Who knows?
Yesterday Reuters reported from Mumbai, quoting an un-identified selector, thatGanguly can still stage a comeback into the Indian team. This selector hints that Ganguly has a strong chance to be among the 30-member probables for the Champions Trophy. The list of probables is scheduled to be released on August 9.
Ganguly should read Oscar Wilde. "The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last."
Did Wilde had Ganguly in mind when he came up with these lines?
