Mumbai, Oct 19: Tired of the dark-horses tag, New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming today said his side was keen to win the Champions Trophy and prove that they were capable of being good consistently. "The biggest worry for us is we have not been consistent in big tournaments. We are looking to win not only the next two games (in the league phase) but to win them all," said Fleming on the eve of their crunch Group B clash against Sri Lanka here tomorrow.
"We are good enough to win the competition. We don't want to be the perennial dark horses in every competition. We want to start performing to our ability," said the left-handed batsman who starred with the bat in his team's shock win over South Africa last week. The New Zealand camp has been hit by injury and illness, with a big question mark hanging on three players -- speedsters Shane Bond and Mark Gillespie and all rounder Scott
Styris.
While Bond (stiff back) and Styris (hamstring twinge) missed the tie against South Africa, Gillespie has been sick over the last three days and is down with "Delhi belly", Fleming said. "Shane is going to have a bowl today in the nets with a view to measuring his fitness and availability for tomorrow. We are measuring up our long term and short-term goals over Shane. Styris is in the same position. He will be training with a view to see his
fitness.(Agencies)
