We need a wicketkeeper/batsman who is good in pressure situations: Ganguly
Well, the team is short on allrounders and a wicketkeeper/batsman who is effective under pressure
A: Well, the team is short on allrounders and a wicketkeeper/batsman who is effective under pressure. When there is no pressure, anyone can score runs but it is when you do so under pressure that it really counts.
A: Well, if you look at the teams around the world, only those who are blessed in these two respects seem to do consistently well. Look at Australia, they have Adam Gilchrist and Ian Harvey. Or Pakistan who have Rashid Latif and three allrounders in Wasim Akram, Azhar Mahmood and Abdur Razzaq. South Africa too have Shaun Pollock, Lance Klusener and Jacques Kallis supported by Mark Boucher. That's why they are top sides.
A: We have to look at a wicketkeeper who is really good with the bat in a pressure situation. And also find an allrounder who can chip in at critical moments.
A: Well, you can talk and talk but what matters is how you perform in the middle.
A: Well, what alternatives have you got? (Hemang) Badani, for instance, is such a talented cricketer but he had a prolonged lean run.
A: What can you say? If you do not do so regularly, you are in trouble. It is almost criminal.
A: There is no point in doing so. If your performance goes down, then the team tends to suffer more.
A: The problem with youngsters is they play one good innings and they are compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Class must be proved over a period of time.
A: Shiv Sunder Das has been the first choice on this tour only because he has such a fantastic Test record. He is a quality player and deserved his place ahead of Martin.
A: Look at it this way. In this game against South Africa, I needed to employ four spinners in the middle overs. You can make your own judgement from that.
A: They are a very good one-day side. They have some quality fast bowlers. They really never let you take it easy. The pressure is always sustained.
A: If he said something, I didn't listen. He is a young boy and at his age you do tend to get excited.
