Ganguly worried about security in Pakistan

SYDNEY, FEB. 8. Indian captain Sourav Ganguly said his team is not against travelling to Pakistan and playing cricket there, but is concerned about the security aspects. "We all want to go to Pakistan. But we will seek the details of the security arrangements from the BCCI. We all have families,'' said Ganguly during the post-final press conference here on Sunday.

Replying to questions on certain incidents that took place on the field, Ganguly said: "Before taking strike, I asked Ponting should India start it all over again. We can also do it''. According to Ganguly, Australian fast bowler Brad Williams had used foul language.

The Indian captain also advised left-arm seamer Irfan Pathan not to stare at batsmen, as he runs the risk of being heavily fined by the Match Referee.
