ganguly : should he be dropped

"Dada" as we all love to call him was unceremoniously dropped from the one day squad for the tri-series in australia. But the big question in everybody's mind is should he have been dropped from the side. dada who has had a remarkable '07 season making a comeback into the indian side
, when everybody had written him off, has done nothing wrong really after his comeback.
although he didn't perform well in the last test , but his form in australia has been remarkable .
the selectors have justified their decision saying that dada's fielding was the only criteria and they want to focus on youth, but dada's replacement suresh raina and rohit sharma have not proven themselves in the international format and in australia conditions are as tough as the opposition
who look to play on the individual's mind before he even enters the field.
imagine a situation when india are 20/3 with a rohit sharma or a suresh raina entering into bat as opposed to ganguly. this keeping in mind that yuvraj singh is looking out of touch and out of sorts and dhoni has not been in his usual self , and suddenly our world renowned batting line doesn't look that formidable.
so the decision to leave out ganguly is all the more baffling.....
