India don't deserve to be in final: Ganguly

AMSTELVEEN: Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly was disappointed at the rain-induced abandonment of the second game of the tri-series against Australia at the VRA ground on Monday and said reaching the final on net run-rate did not seem right.

"I'm disappointed at the rain interfering in this game again," said Ganguly, "We are practically out of the tournament and if we still make it, it would not seem right given the fact that we haven't won a single match in this series".

India lost to Pakistan by 66 runs in the tournament opener and wrapped up their league engagements with the abandoned game against the formidable Aussies.

India now have three points, same as Australia, but the latter have a game on hand against Pakistan. Inzamam Ul Haq's boys have already made it to the title round with six points to their credit.

If Pakistan beat Australia by a thumping margin in the last game on Wednesday, it would boil down to India and Australia and the net run rate will decide who goes through to the final.

However, Ganguly thought it was looking at too many variables ahead.

"We might be moored at this place for the next six days doing nothing. But that's the price you got to pay for not playing well enough," the Indian skipper said.
