Ganguly ticks off commentators

Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly ticked off a few former cricketers-turned-commentators, dismissing them as a `joke' not meant to be taken seriously.

"Honestly some of the comments they make I find very immature. They just speak what they want on television. Millions of people hear them back home. I don't want to name but a couple of them are just jokes — I think you know as much about them as I,'' Ganguly said

The team's ire, it is learnt, is directed at Krishnamachari Srikkanth, Sunil Gavaskar and Navjot Singh Sidhu who were scathing in their comments on the Indian team after they lost miserably to Australia by nine wickets.
