Bangalore, June 01: Serving a warning to New Zealand ahead of their tour to India in September, cricket coach John Wright today indicated that Sourav Ganguly's boys were keen to avenge the thrashing they received at the hands of the Kiwis during their last series. "We have got a few scores to settle (with New Zealand). We are looking forward to it," Wright told here on India's two test series against New Zealand at home.
"Obviously, lead-up will be given. Sure, we will be well prepared. I have to talk to the (BCCI) president (Jagmohan Dalmiya) about the lead-up programme along with the selectors. I am looking forward to the lead-up progamme and playing programme," he said.
Pointing out that India had a good record at home, Wright said his team would work hard and be well prepared. "Obviously the boys had some time off (after the World Cup) and they should be hungry (for runs and taking wickets)".
On India's four test series against Australia in December-January, Wright said "we are going to have to raise the level of game. We need to get results.”
