I am surprised too, and therefore must stand corrected then.  Can you point
me where he said that for Karthik, which I seem to have missed?

The debate I had with him was over Ganguly's choice of words over Kumble,
which then went into why Karthik should have been picked over Kumble, and
then turned into a search for performances for Karthik.

The only arguments I remember from him were that Kumble was bad four years
ago, Kumble was bad abroad, and that Karthik was good in ODIs at home.
Further boosted by purported weakness against LAS in the Aussies based on
Price and Vettori.  Kumble's performance in India's last overseas win seemed
to be less important than what Karthik had done a couple years ago in RSA,
and Karthik's performance in England was a non-issue because he did not take
wickets.
