Becks does a Ganguly!

Finally, after huffing and puffing their way to a place where they have to DESPERATELY beat ESTONIA(!!!) in order to still be in the race to qualify for euro 2008, the English football team and a certain Mr. McClaren have decided to recall David Beckham to the national side after he was unceremoniously booted out of not just the playing eleven but the entire English team on 11th august 2006.
What started off as a winning streak for England, with clear victories of 4-0, 5-0, and 1-0 against Greece, Andorra and Macedonia soon turned into a nightmare. Forcing an hitherto untested 3-5-2 formation on the team proved costly as they lost to Croatia and co. to reach the current state of affairs... and with that the tables turned on Steve McClaren... He is now under immense pressure from engerland's boisterous fans to deliver, or he stands to be kicked out... Hence the return to the former captain, in the hope that he can save them from further embarrassment...
Does that story ring a bell in the minds of those who follow Indian cricket?
The Saurav Ganguly- Greg Chappell saga has many parallels to the English story. Both extremely successful captains, in tandem with super supportive former coaches(John Wright, Sven Goran Erickson) built formidable teams, often under accusations of helping their friends stay in the team while better men waited in the wings... Both were dumped by the new coaches in insulting manners, and now, while one has completed a successful comeback, the other seems on the verge of the same...
Cheers to fallen heroes, rising phoenixes!
