100th Test roundup on Ganguly

The folks at Cricinfo have always been good with statistics. I wanted to do a roundup on Sourav Ganguly on the occasion of his playing his 100th test match today. But before I could start on it, CricInfo has done a fantastic roundup. Go ahead and see it there.

I am summarizing it here:

• Seventh Indian to play 100 test matches behind Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Gavaskar, Kumble, Vengsarkar and Dravid. Mohd Azharuddin ended his career after 99 tests...
• Due to his good performance against Pakistan, 2007 is his most successful year, completed 1000 runs in a calendar year, second-highest aggregate by an Indian in a 3 match series etc.
• His record is better in away tests compared to home tests, and better as a non-captain compared to while he was a captain.
• He is the most successful Indian left handed player.
• Most successful captain ever.
