Staff and Agencies28-Jul-2001* Team’s performance beginning to hurt, says DungarpurFormer Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) chief Raj Singh Dungarpur on Fridaysaid the Indian team’s performance in the ongoing Coca-Cola Cuptriangular series in Sri Lanka is very disappointing and “beginning tohurt.””I don’t want to go deep into it but I think skipper Sourav Ganguly ismaking too many mistakes, which in turn is affecting the team’sperformance,” Dungarpur told PTI in Mumbai.Dungarpur, who is the National Cricket Academy chairman, said formerAustralian opening batsman and coach Geoff Marsh will be coaching theIndian under-19 cricket team for the coming season. “Marsh has beenentrusted with the job of coaching the India A side, which has a busyschedule this year. John Wright is in charge of the senior team whileformer Test player Roger Binny is the junior teams’ coach. We wantedsomeone to coach the India A team and I think Marsh is the right manto do that,” he added.* Batting has let us down, says BordeThe chairman of the Indian cricket selection committee, Chandu Bordesaid on Friday that failure in the batting department was the maincause of Indian team’s dismal performance so far in the ongoingtriangular series in Sri Lanka. Borde told PTI over phone from Punethat the performance of the team was "very disappointing" and ourbatsmen are not applying their mind to the task.Speaking about the defeat at the hands of New Zealand, the former Testplayer said, "if they (Indian batsmen) cannot score 201 runs on thatpitch then there is nothing anyone can do about it. The bowlers arebowling out the opposition to a small total but our batsmen arefailing repeatedly to deliver the goods," he said.When asked what he thought about Sourav Ganguly’s captaincy, Bordeshot back by saying "what can the captain do when his batsmen fail toscore even 150 runs against a New Zealand attack.""One expected the youngsters, who came in place of injured SachinTendulkar, to grab this opportunity with both the hands but that wasnot to be. It is really disappointing to note that the Indians are yetto win a match in the series," Borde added.
