Notwithstanding the humiliating 10-wicket defeat at the hands of West Indies in the third Test, an optimistic Sourav Ganguly said there was still a lot to play for and India could yet clinch the five-match series.
"There is a lot of cricket still left. We can still win the series," Ganguly said after India allowed West Indies to draw level 1-1.
Ganguly said that the team did not put enough runs on the board in the first innings and that proved to be their undoing. "It sometimes happens. The wicket had life, we lost wickets and never recovered from that".
However, he admitted there was no devil as such in the wicket. "It was in fact a good batting pitch and the West Indian bowlers deserved credit for working hard on it," he said.
On his own form, Ganguly said, "I have been hitting the ball well. It's good to score runs but it is important to win also."
Ganguly top scored in both the innings for India. He made 48 in the first and remained unbeaten on 60 in the second innings. Bureau Report
