Ganguly unfazed about ACU probe

India captain Sourav Ganguly says he is not worried about the International Cricket Council Anti Corruption Unit's investigation into the triangular one-day series match between India and Kenya, which was played in Port Elizabeth on October 17.

"You can't do anything about these allegations. If they (ACU) want to have an inquiry, they can do it," Ganguly said reacting to reports about ICC securing tapes of the match.

He reiterated that the loss to Kenya was an aberration.

"I have already said that was bit of an accident. It shouldn't happen again."

Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar also said the team was hurt by the inexplicable loss.

"What happened in Port Elizabeth really hurt us and we wanted to hit back," Tendulkar said, after India's impressive 186-run victory overt Kenya in the last league match on Wednesday.

"It (the loss) was a good eye opener for us... I am glad we played well today and we would like to continue this," Tendulkar said after receiving the man-of-the-match award for his brilliant 146-run knock.

Coach John Wright had also dismissed suggestions that India's 70-run loss to Kenya could have been fixed.

"I would not be coaching this team if I thought the boys were capable of doing it," Wright had said.

The ACU had secured the tapes of the match to ascertain whether there indeed had been any wrongdoing.
