Ganguly at the receiving end again

Sydney: Already mired in controversies, Sourav Ganguly finds himself at the receiving end yet again — this time in Steve Waugh's autobiography. Waugh says the then Indian captain's bickering over pitches `was not too different from match-fixing'.

In his autobiography `Out Of My Comfort Zone', the former Australian skipper slams Ganguly's tendency to interact with groundsmen before international matches.

"He (Ganguly) was... constantly bickering over the nature of pitches and trying to influence the groundsmen in India. To me, this wasn't too different from match-fixing, because captains who try this on are attempting to alter the conditions in collusion with a force they shouldn't be tampering with," Waugh writes. — PTI
