Aussies can’t bully us, says Ganguly

Melbourne: Sourav Ganguly does not really freeze at the prospect of facing on-field taunts when he travels to Australia later this year and the former captain asserts the Indian squad is mature enough to handle such hostile reception Down Under.

Australia’s recent tour of India earlier this year was both marked and marred by on-field aggression from both sides that often threatened to spill over the limits.

Ganguly believes Australia might like to continue the war of words but insists India would not be cowered. “That is not a worry for us,” a nonchalant Ganguly was quoted as saying by the ‘Sunday Telegraph’.

“What happened in India for me is in the past, but for Australia, maybe not. They will try to pressure us and they may say some things but we have many senior players who can handle that,” said the left-hander, whose belligerent attitude as the captain had got the goat of former Aussie skipper Steve Waugh and his teammates. — PTI
