Ganguly 23 May 2001 Indian captain Sourav Ganguly said that his team was prepared mentally and physically for the forthcoming tour of Zimbabwe and expressed confidence of reversing India's dismal performance overseas. The preparation has been good. He said that the Indians were mentally fitter after their series win against the formidable Australians and hoped that his teammates will display the same toughness on the tour.
Mental preparation has to be done by the players, it is the individual player's concern.
The coach and the physio can look after the physical aspects. Ganguly, however, warned against any complacency creeping in despite the preparations. Although the preparations have been good, we have to do well in the match. That is very important. Ganguly, who has been practicing with a bowling machine in Kolkata since returning from the Bangalore camp, said that bowling machines were not of much help though it could be useful for mastering a particular stroke.
