After a comprehensive seven-wicket victory against Zimbabwe, Indian captain Saurav Ganguly wants the team to carry on the winning momentum and “get better” with each outing in the triangular cricket series.But the win today does not seem to have erased the bad memories of the tournament opener against Australia and Ganguly was still rueing the collapse which led to India’s 18-run defeat.“We did pretty well today. We played pretty well at MCG (in the first match) too but for the last few overs,” Ganguly said while admitting the defeat had left a bad taste in his mouth.“Yes I did not feel well after the match. We have to look after one aspect,” he said apparently referring to the tendency of the team to squander good positions.However, the Indian skipper felt the team was improving in the one-dayers and hoped it would “get better” in the next few weeks.Ganguly, who looked in great touch during his cameo unbeaten 32-run knock, said he would look to carry on his form in the remaining matches. “It is good to score runs in this part of the world,” said the skipper. Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak said his team needed to put on the “thinking cap” and devise ways to put pressure on the opposition.“We did not put enough runs on the board. We struggled from the beginning and never really got on top of India,” Streak said.“We had few runs in the end and we needed to pick early wickets to put pressure on them but it did not happen. We have to put our hands up now and put some runs on the board to put pressure on the opposition. India and Australia are two good teams and we need to put the thinking cap on and see what works for us.” Ganguly was pleased that he did not really miss the services of a regular fifth bowler in the match and praised his bowling attack for restricting Zimbabwe to a modest total.“The wicket was holding up a bit initially and this happened even last time when we played the three-day game here but our bowlers bowled well.”
