\"sourav-ganguly\"New Delhi:<\/strong> India clinched the series by winning the third Test match at Mohali by six wickets against Australia and took a historic 3-0 lead in the four-match series. Commenting on the Australian team, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has said that it was weakest Australian team that has toured India since 1996.<\/p>\n

Ganguly told in his interview to regional news channel in Kolkata that Australia don\u2019t have the batsmen to play spinners. \u201cI don’t want to rate the side but having seen the Aussies since 1996, I think this team is the worst-performing on Indian soil. In India, you will expect turning tracks only. Four days are just enough to win against this weak Australian side. I hope India repeat this result on Australian soil as well.”\n<\/p>\n

Former Indian captain said, \u201cThe most important thing for MS Dhoni right now is to build the team and prepare them for the 2015 World Cup and as far as records are concerned, they are meant to be broken. I hope he will remain Indian captain for at least next two to three years and give Indian team that much-needed stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Prince of Kolkata, went on to say, \u201cIn the fourth Test match at Kotla, the match will be over in three days if Australian Team will bat second, they are lucky enough to win the toss and are able to stretch up to the fourth day of the Test match. Australian team has no skill to apply themselves on Indian soil and that\u2019s the only reason why they faced three loses in the row.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope Indian team will continue their good form at Kotla and will win the series with 4-0 white-wash,\u201d He also took a dig at the Australian team management’s decision to sack four players, including vice-captain Shane Watson, for the third Test on disciplinary grounds. \u201cI read somewhere about (former coach) John Buchanan lauding the decision (to sack the four). Just unbelievable, what can I say!”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bengal Tiger, Sourav hoped that Sachin Tendulkar scores some big runs. “I hope he gets back to form. It’s very important for him as well as team to get into the rhythm. I don’t think there’s a need to readjust his order and he should stick to No 4 only.”<\/p>\n

Asked about the Australia’s prospect in the upcoming Ashes, Ganguly said: “England have been doing well. I won’t be surprised England win 3-0 in the five-match series.”<\/p>\n
