Ganguly serves warning to Bangladesh poyi poyi bangaldesh ki warning anta veedi bonda.
Thursday, December 16 2004 14:17 Hrs (IST)
Chittagong: Indian captain Sourav Ganguly today sounded alarm bells for Bangladesh when he said that his record breaking batsmen and bowlers were more hungry than ever before and would not move over even for the sake of their younger teammates.
Declaring that the Indians would field an unchanged side in the second cricket Test starting here tomorrow, Ganguly said the senior players have had less cricket this season and were not willing to sit out so as to give an opportunity to the fringe players in the squad.
"It is difficult. The seniors have played eight to 10 Tests this year and don't want to sit out. It is very difficult to give somebody rest when he doesn't want it," Ganguly said on the eve of the match at the M A Aziz stadium.
India routed Bangladesh to an innings and 140-run defeat in the first Test at Dhaka, with Sachin Tendulkar slamming a record equalling 34th ton of 248 not out and Anil Kumble picking up his 435th scalp to become the country's highest wicket-taker.
The comprehensive win prompted Ganguly to declare after the match that the team might try out newcomers in the second match and in the three one-dayers that were to follow. Coach John Wright, however, quashed such suggestions yesterday, saying that those vying to play for India should win their places.
The skipper also said that players were not in the team for the sake of improving their individual records.
"It doesn't work that way in a Test match. In the first Test, there was only one century and the last time (Bangladesh's inaugural Test in 2000) we played against them, there were only two big scores," he said.
The top order might have not exactly clicked when the team was reduced to 36 for three in the only innings of the series so far, and the current season in general, but Ganguly chose to look at the issue differently.
"We understood the new ball early on and did well to get to 500 and then bowl them out twice," he said.
"We have got totals of above 400 in recent matches. If the ratings are read as they are, we have been the best Indian team in many years."
Bangladesh had their problems compounded with medium pacer Tapash Baisya being a doubtful starter with a sour back.
Skipper Habibul Bashar said he hoped that by the morning of the match the right-arm bowler would have recovered. He said middle-order batsman Rajin Saleh and right-arm seamer Mushfiqur Rahman would not play, which would pave the way for 17-year-old Nazbul Hossain to make his debut.
Bashar said he wanted the team to put up a fight at least this time. "Our primary goal is not to gift wickets to the new ball."
