 Ahmedabad,
Oct 6: With the Indian cricket team desperately seeking revenge for
the ignominious defeat in the two-Test series against New Zealand
last year, Kiwis skipper Stephen Fleming today said the forthcoming
Test series against the hosts could be one of the "hardest
tours" for his team. "It could be one of the hardest tours
that our team has taken. It's going to be a great challenge,
especially after what happened to India in New Zealand," he
told reporters after unveiling the Videocon Trophy for the 'Videocon
Test Series' along with Indian captain Saurav Ganguly here.
Fleming said his
boys had relished the experience (in India) so far and may be the
tri-series after two Test matches could be a "different
story". He said his team was looking forward to an exciting
tri-series, involving the Aussies as the third team, later this
month.
To a question,
whether India will miss the services of experienced speedsters like
Javagal Srinath and Ashish Nehra, Ganguly said, "We can't help
it...But the series will be a good experience for two talented
debutant fast bowlers - Laxmipathi Balaji and Avishkar Salvi.
