Sourav Ganguly today said India still has a chance to pull
off win in the third Test against South Africa as it would not be an
easy task for the home team to achieve the target on the final day of the match.
Ganguly believed the game was evenly poised and the South Africans might find
it difficult to score the remaining 156 runs to win the match and the series.
"They have to get 156 runs which is not going to be easy. The ball is
still new. It is easier to score off the new ball, but it is not so as the ball
gets older. I think there is a game on," he said after the end of fourth
day's play.
Ganguly hoped that the pitch would help the Indian spinners.
"The pitch is very dry, the driest I have seen overseas.
There are a lot of areas for Anil Kumble to bowl to left-handers and
Graeme Smith might have that in back of his mind," he said.
The stylish left-hander denied that the team was under any sort of pressure
to defend the low total tomorrow.
"Now it is important to play and not think about winning or losing,"
he said.
