‘Ganguly should work hard at nets’
23.06 IST   28th Apr 2005

By Agencies

Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly today received yet another tip on how to tide over his current poor form when former Indian skipper Ajit Wadekar suggested that the batsman must concentrate hard at the nets and consider going back to the opening slot to regain his form.

"I think he should immerse himself in practice. He should concentrate hard at the nets to get over the prolonged bad patch," Wadekar told newspersons in Kolkata.

Wadekar felt that the break from the game could prove beneficial to Ganguly. "When you're playing constantly, then you don't have time to reflect. Now he can see the video footage of his batting and identify the problems. I think, he'll be back in form soon."

However, he blamed the Indian bowlers, Ganguly's teammates and coach John Wright for the ban slapped on the skipper for the team's slow over rate in the Ahmedabad one dayer against Pakistan.

"Its the fault of his colleagues and coach. The bowlers should also be blamed," he said.

Wadekar said when a captain was on the field, he had so much at hand that it was not possible for him to keep track of things like over rate.

"His colleagues should have informed him. It is also the duty of the coach. He has a laptop to keep track of such things. The coach could have sent someone with a glass of water to the field to convey the message," he said.
