The best under each category is highlighted in RED
And just because Ganguly had said that it was between Agarkar and Nehra, I have provided Nehra's "Record???!!!" in blue.
And to prove my point that the toss up must have been between Nehra & Zaheer, I've provided Zaheer's stats too in green.

2003 - 2004 Season (The most recent)

Player Mat Runs HS Bat Av 50 Wkts BB Bwl SR Bwl Av Eco 5Wkts
Agarkar 12 132 53 22 1 19 6/42 28.3 25.21 5.3 1
Zaheer 12 46 33 11.5 0 17 3/30 33.5 34.05 6.09 0
Nehra 7 14 14* 14 0 9 3/44 44 42.33 5.77 0
Balaji 15 60 21* 15 0 19 4/48 42.6 37.42 5.3 0

Thus, it is VERY obvious that Agarkar has been our BEST BOWLER in the latest season, i.e. 2003-2004 in every single parameter! What more do the selectors & Ganguly want from him??? Hmmm.. Why does Ganguly favour Nehra? (Favouritism towards Zaheer is understandable because at least he has potential. But Nehra is 1 Lucky bugger, to say the least- All my other words about Nehra would be censored!!!)

To Summarize:

Player Bowling Fielding Batting Fitness Attitude
Agarkar Best Best Best Best A Winner!
Zaheer Good Good OK ?? Hard Trier!
Nehra Worst of the lot Atrocious Huh?!! Whats that? ??????????!!!!!!!!! A Loser!

And the fitness record of Agarkar, Zaheer & Nehra is only too obvious! Whereas, Zaheer & Nehra (does he have something called fitness??!) are always laying low due to injuries Agarkar has been fighting fit, all along. The last time that Agarkar missed a series due to fitness issue was way back in 1999-2000. After that it was only this recent tour of Pak, which would have been easy pickings for him.. All this because he was over burdened in Australia with far too many overs than any other bowler.. Afterall, he was the best bowler on that tour as always!
For all of Agarkar's hard work & Impressive showing, the selectors & the team management (read as Ganguly!) "REWARD" him with this- an unceremonious ouster!!

Some fodder for your esteemed thought:

Comparing Agarkar with M Kaif

Player Mat Inn NO Runs HS 1 HS 2 Hs 3 Avg 100 50 0
Agarkar 127 80 26 955 95 67* 53 17.68 0 3 7
Kaif 64 54 12 1311 111* 95* 87* 31.21 1 7 3

2002-2003 Season (Kaif played mostly on batting friendly conditions unlike Aggy!)

Player Mat Inn NO Runs HS 1 HS 2 Hs 3 Avg 100 50 0
Agarkar 12 8 2 132 53 26* 22 22 0 1 0
Kaif 11 10 3 239 71* 64 46 34.14 0 2 0

The thing to note is that Kaif has always played higher than Agarkar (he is a "BATSMAN" afterall!).. Hence there is bound to be a greater difference in their records. But an interesting tidbit for you all, in the 2003-2004 season, batting at number 7 position Agarkar has a batting average of 28 while Kaif has a batting average of 29.5! And at number 6 position, Kaif has an average of 28! And a discussion on their batting strike rates doesnt even merit any discussion! And a number 7 batsman has to have the big hitting capabilities which Kaif woefully lacks & of which Agarkar is a master!
