Performance still far from best: Ganguly
 London, Sept 6: Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly yesterday said the team did a great job in winning the final NatWest Challenge one-day international but was still far away from to its best. "We are a good one-day side and we know that we have the ability (to win). But we are still far from what we are capable of," Ganguly said after India beat England by 23 runs here to end their poor run of form.
The skipper, who also won the man of the match award for his gutsy 90, said the result would provide a much needed boost to their confidence going into the ICC Champions Trophy starting next week. England skipper Michael Vaughan was also upbeat about his team's performance in the Champions Trophy saying they could beat any team in the world if they played the way they did in the current series. Vaughan said he was proud of the way the team played in the 2-1 series win over the Indians. "We are pretty proud to beat a team as good as India. We have improved by leaps and bounds in this summer and need to continue in the same way in the Champions Trophy."
Man-of-the-series Steve Harmison said, "in beating India, we have come out and proved to people that we are a good one-day side." On the personal front, Harmison said the series went well for him as he could come along as a useful one-day bowler. Veteran speedster Darren Gough was also given a special medallion for reaching the 200 one-day wickets milestone when he scalped Harbhajan Singh. (Agencies)
