ICC Cricket World Cup 2011: Dada warns Indian team on Ireland 'threats'

Their dramatic win over England at the ongoing World Cup has definitely taken the Irish team to the next level, and former skipper Sourav Ganguly feels that India must be ready and up for the co-hosts' game against Ireland on March 6 in Bengalore.

"India are the better side when it comes to the two, but they must be ready and up for the challenge that Ireland will provide them with," Ganguly said.

"Ireland has some outstanding players, chasing down England's target with ease and Kevin O'Brien giving an outstanding performance so India will have to be up and ready for it," he told this week's ICC Cricket World Radio Show.

Ireland, who in the earlier edition in Carribean has shocked Pakistan and Bangalore, rode on the Kevin O'Brien's fastest-ever World Cup hundred to pull off a sensational three-wicket victory over England on March 2.

Following the win, the Irish players have been high in confidence, which indicates that the ride won't be easy for the Indians with players like O'Brien in their ranks.

Ganguly, most successful Indian captain, further pointed out India's bowling attack which he feels needs to be reviewed.

"India will have the chance to review their bowling attack - as to whether they go with three fast bowlers or continue with two spinners and two seamers, which I don't think is the way forward.

"They need three fast bowlers and then have someone like Yusuf Pathan bowling his 10 overs," the former left-handed batsman said.

Joining Ganguly on this week's show, former English paceman and commentator Robin Jackman looks back on South Africa's comprehensive defeat of Netherlands.

"South Africa should be happy with this result against Netherlands, despite it not being a challenge, the net run rate will be good for them.

"They went in with an extra batter, which I think they may well do against England. No team wants to lose a game, so I expect South Africa will go with a similar combination.

"I don't know what they'll do when it comes to the bowling attack in Chennai. It will depend on the pitch. Imran Tahir looks to have cemented a place so it may well be whether Robin Peterson comes out for Johan Botha," said Jackman.
