Do Statistics Lie ?

I don't think so. Then, why is Ganguly not in the Indian one-day team? Take a look at these statistics for the last 35, 50, 75 and 100 matches respectively:

		Last 35 ODIs	Last 50 ODIs	Last 75 ODIs	Last 100 ODIs
V.Sehwag		27.29	30.16	30.85	33.54
S.Ganguly		29.09	30.54	32.78	35.65

Agreed that many of Ganguly's runs might have been scored against the so-called minnows like BL and Zimbabwe. However, if the above statistics are not a contention for selection, then I don't know what is (link from Political Blogs).

Update: I am wrong on this one; a search on the last 20 ODIs would reveal a clear disparity.
