This is what Ganguly had to say before the team departed for Dhaka:

On the Series:
It presents a exciting challenge for us. We know we can compete with the best of teams on their turf. Everyone is looking forward to this opportunity of playing in 9 countries.

On the schedule:
It is going to be a challenge with the amount of travel involved, but we have enough breaks in between to keep ourselves fresh.

On the biggest challenge:
Touring Australia is always tough, but we had soom good performances in the last series. SL, NZ, SA, England all are competitive in their conditions so it's going to be a big test for us.


The world tour kicks off with a odi v Bangladesh at Dhaka.

Good luck (apart from the matches against England).

What no Harbhajan and no Kaif M.Karthik edged out Harbhajan, thats very tough on a bowler like Harbhajan.

Indian team can stop over at exotic location on their world tour like Fiji, Miami, Bermuda et al. Good luck to India, make sure you beat the Aussies.

Make sure you change the attributes of the players using the in game editor. I have seen some major anomiles with most of the players. For instance I was changing the Pakistan team players and noticed Shoaib Akthar, Sami having 100% consistency where as a good bowler like Shabbir Ahmed grossly under rated. The same with Shoaib Malik or Abdul Razzaq. They both are terrific players but they were rated below Moin Khan if I am right. Yasir Hamid and other young players were hardly rated as a batsman. Even Shahid Afridi had 100% consistency I think
