Skipper is more important than me — Wright

the team’. He was modest in admitting to the mediapersons that the captain was more important than him. "I’m in the back seat. He’s (Saurav) more important than anyone in the team."

Wright arrived here this morning along with the Indian squad sans Ganguly (who is reportedly in Mumbai), paceman Javagal Srinath and Mohammad Kaif, who found favour with the selectors after Yuvraj Singh was `released’ from the side to play in Ranji Trophy.

Wright turned down the reporters’ request to speak about the Test. However, he promised to brief the media only after the Indian skipper arrives here tomorrow.

During the optional practice session for the team members, Wright, accompanied by the vice-captain Rahul Dravid, had a closer look at the Vidharbha Cricket Association track. However, he refused to term it an `inspection’. "I will inspect the pitch tomorrow and then talk about it," he said.

Meanwhile, the BCCI’s pitch committee chairman K Kasturirangan hoped that the Indian skipper would be satisfied with the track. "It is just impossible to make a pitch that would fully satisfy a captain," he said.

Kasturirangan opined that the track would be bouncy for the first three days. And thereafter it will start taking some turn.
