Ganguly's appeal dismissed, ban upheld
The ICC Appeals Commissioner, Michael Beloff, upheld the ban imposed on Ganguly. He said that he did not see any reason in the arguments put forward by Ganguly's representatives to overturn Chris Broad's decision. However, it seems likely that Ganguly's team will appeal against the decision. To who, I dont know, since the ICC explicitly says that there is no appeal procedure against Beloff's decision. Perhaps a judicial appeal?
The only respite for Ganguly is that the two one-dayers he missed at Kanpur and Delhi will count as being part of the six matches. I think the BCCI would do well to urgently invite Bangladesh or Zimbabwe (or perhaps both) for a series (or triangular tournament) sometime in June or July, before touring Sri Lanka for the triangular series, and ensure that Ganguly is available to play the first important match which crops up during the season.
Tanya Aldred compares the personalities of Chris Broad and David Shepherd. They've both been in the news for totally different reasons.
