Kiwis Ganguly’s last hope

Published December 12, 2002

WELLINGTON, Dec 11: India captain Saurav Ganguly believes the forthcoming Test series against New Zealand, which starts Thursday, could be his last chance to win a series away from the sub-continent. “I want to win a series abroad. That’s the main aim of my captaincy career,” Ganguly said on Wednesday ahead of the first Test here.

“The World Cup is coming up and obviously that is important, but this series may be my last chance to win a series abroad and I feel that if we fail, I have failed.”

India have not won a Test series away from Asia since 1986 when they beat England and they may see the New Zealand series as a golden opportunity to beat a side, which is again without what many would consider its front-line pace attack.—Reuters
