12-Jun-2001Selection committee chairman Chandu Borde has praised the Indiancricket team’s eight wicket win over Zimbabwe in the Bulawayo Test onSunday, saying it was an “exciting performance” and the team canonly get better from now on.Speaking to PTI over the phone from Pune on Tuesday, Borde said theteam was combining well and “this is a very good sign for the futureof Indian cricket.”The way our boys performed in the first Test suggests that the teamcan only get better from now on and I personally feel that this tourwill be a stepping stone for the team to win many more Tests abroad inthe near future,” Borde added.”I think the batting has settled down nicely but I am worried aboutthe two left arm seamers Ashish Nehra and Zaheer Khan. They shouldlearn not to run on the danger zone during their follow-through andlearn it real fast,” Borde said.”Nehra was stopped from bowling in the second innings while Zaheerwas warned by the umpires and the boys have to learn quickly as bothcan turn out to be match winners on their day,” the former Indiancaptain said.Queried about the selection committee meeting scheduled for Wednesdayin Mumbai to pick the players for the triangular series in Zimbabwesoon after the second Test, Borde said with Sachin (Tendulkar) andSourav (Ganguly) opening the innings, quite a few all-rounders couldbe accommodated. “Let us wait and see as we want to give a fairchance to everybody to prove their worth,” he added.
