Indian Capatin Sourav Ganguly was caught today talking to the media at Johannesburg INTL Airport on his teams arrival from India
Media well Sourav how do you think your team will compete in this one day series
Sourav well i think we have a really high chance at winning this ODI Series our bastmen have been performing well recently and so have our bowlers. Its not easy coming to South Africa the wickets favour all the seam bowlers. we have not had a good time in South Africa from previous series, i certainly think this series will change that. the last time we were in south africa it was the world cup and we reached into the final so the boys are confident of winning the series
Media How do you think the Quality of your oppostions even though the west indes still need to sumbit their squad?
Sourav well south africa are one of the best one day sides in the world. in 2004 both us and south africa did not perform well in one days, i think that both teams were lacking confidence then. but now South Africa has beaten England 4-1 in and zimbabwe 3-0 in there last odi series. i think there going to be a tough team to beat. No matter what anyone says west indes will be a big threat in this series even if they do not have their strong squad. they proved that when they won the champions trophy last year so they are going to be tough. i personally hope that the players with contarct issues do get chosen its nice to have competitve teams playing each other and the fans get enjoyment aswell
Media Sourav your batting hasnt been really up to scratch in the last couple of months do you hope to make ammends here
Sourav my batting has been very poor i know that. i have not performed well in last couple of months because there has been huge expectations to perform well against pakistan. in that series i havnt been able to think striaght with huge expectations from the fans. i hope to ammend that in this series by showing the fans what i can do with the bat
Media thnk you for talking to us on your arrival. i know you have just arrived from india so ill finsh my questions and let you and your team continue to Johannesburg and good luck for the series
Sourav thank you
