Dada Rores again in practice match with 83 Runs

Sourav Ganguly on Thursday made an emphatic start to his tour of South Africa, making 83 against rest of South Africa in the warm-up cricket match here today.

Returning to the international stage after nine months, Ganguly hit 8 fours in his unbeaten knock of 57 to help India fight back from a precarious 69 for five at lunch in the four-day game.

Ganguly, drafted into the team for the upcoming Test series after India`s disastrous show in the one-dayers, batted with responsibility and tremendous restraint in the face of some hostile fast bowling.

He came in to bat when the Indians were reeling at 37 for 3 on the bouncy Sedgars Park track.
