Ganguly downplays Taufel’s error
NOTTINGHAM: Sourav Ganguly has played down his controversial dismissal in the second cricket Test against England, saying he has had his share of luck with umpiring errors.
“I do not want to talk about the decision. I was disappointed when I came back into the dressing room. Some decisions go your way, some go the other way, that is the way it is,” the former Indian captain said.
Ganguly was ruled caught behind by Australian umpire Simon Taufel when the left-hander tried to flick James Anderson way down the leg side on the third day at Trent Bridge on Sunday. The ‘Prince of Kolkata’ made 79 and looked set for a century.
“I think I batted well, and we needed a partnership in the morning,” he said of his association with Sachin Tendulkar in the first session, when England failed to take a wicket.
“We had to get through the second new ball in the first session. We knew that if we could put runs on the board, we can win this game. It feels good to contribute in that regard.” “We did not set any targets in the morning, it was the third morning of the Test match and we needed to bat on and we did it.”
