To my mind Ganguly remains India’s best counter to Panesar since it was clear that he was half the bowler to Chanderpaul than he was to the right handers (though you might argue that Chanderpaul was twice as good as any other West Indian batsman anyway!). It should be a good contest. But before we can rub our hands in glee there is the avoidable matter of some one-day cricket in Ireland!
