Sharjah, October 28: Indian captain Saurav Ganguly today ruled out any change in the batting order in the final of the triangular one-day series against Sri Lanka tomorrow to counter Muthiah Muralitharan.Ganguly, who has plundered a lot of runs against the master spinner, said he would not demote himself in the batting order to tackle him. Instead, he said, he would bat for the first 15 overs and wait for the spinner to come on. ``I wouldn't come down the order but see off the new ball bowlers to wait for his arrival,'' Ganguly said.Ganguly said the success of Muralitharan, who achieved a world record yesterday when he got seven Indian batsmen out for 30 runs, was remarkable considering none of the batsmen actually gifted their wickets to him. ``There was no decision by us to take him on,'' he said. ``Except for the last two wickets, he got all of them out. We just have to play him normally. It is not the first time we have played him.''Indian coach Anshuman Gaekwad didn't quite understand what the fuss was all about. ``He is just bowling 10 overs, isn't it?'' he asked.BCCI secretary Jaywant Lele also had an opinion to air on Muralitharan.``Why not pick him up for three-four runs per over and finish him with none for 40 from 10 overs?''
