Ganguly predicts changes in the Indian team if they lose at Kolkata – Cricket News Update
Disappointed after India’s disastrous defeat at the hands of England in the second Test of the four-match series at Mumbai, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 captain, predicts that there will be a complete overhaul of the Indian team
if they lose the series at their own backyard.
Having performed well on the world-stage consistently, the Men in Blue entered the series against England in England last year as the world’s number one ranked Test team; however, they were miserably whitewashed in the four-match series.

A number of former cricketers believed that India had a massive opportunity of avenging their defeat as England tour India for the Test series. The result was very much expected in the first Test at Ahmedabad as Dhoni’s men crushed
the visitors by nine wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 with a 10-wicket victory, destroying the home team’s dream of a whitewash.
Dhoni’s move of attacking England through his spinners backfired as the English spinners picked up 19 wickets in the Mumbai Test.
Ganguly has advised the Indian skipper to ask for flatter tracks in the remaining two matches as the hosts cannot afford to lose another game.
“Dhoni should not seek http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 spinners will create problems for the Indian batsmen. And if India lose two back to back Tests then there will be lot of changes in Indian cricket,” he said.
India played three frontline spinners in the second Test in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-Dinda-c1098 to be given an opportunity in the third Test in place of Harbhajan Singh, who looked off-colour
at Mumbai.
Ganguly mentioned, “I want to see Dinda in the line-up in place of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453. Playing three spinners don't work at all, which is showed clearly in Harbhajan's bowling of 20-odd overs. I hope MS will balance the attack (at Eden).”
The third Test begins from December 5, at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
