NEWS Pakistan in India 2005>Coaching India the most humbling experience: Wright 22nd Apr 2005 22.45 IST By Agencies Having relinquished the job as India's cricket coach, John Wright says he will return home a satisfied man after giving his best for a side, which is "the most wonderful team in world cricket to watch." Wright, for whom the series against Pakistan was the last assignment, said coaching India was the most humbling experience and he devoted most part of his tenure in working out a relationship with the players.
The New Zealander singled out the win against Australia during the home series in 2001 as the high point of his stint as coach, saying he would be lucky to see anything like that happening again. Asked to pick one moment which he will cherish the most, Wright said, "it will have to be the Australia series at home in 2001. It was early in my career but aah!!! What games, what quality of cricket, what passion in the crowd! "Everyday was just wonderful. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it and I will be lucky if I ever see it again." Wright also conceded that he was at odds with Indian captain Sourav Ganguly sometimes, but it all was aimed at making the latter a better captain.
