I enjoyed bowling at the Oval: Agarkar

London, June 30: All-rounder Ajit Agarkar who took three crucial wickets to help India beat Sri Lanka by four wickets in the third match of the Natwest tri-series on Sunday said he enjoyed bowling on the Oval pitch.

"After bowling at Lord's yesterday I enjoyed bowling at this pitch. The bounce was surprising and there was movement also," Agarkar said after receiving the man-of-the match medal, cheque and a bottle of champagne.

Skipper Sourav Ganguly was delighted with that back-to- back wins after the team beat England in the second match of the series at Lord's yesterday.

"We played pretty well. It is always tough to play back to back matches," he said.

Ganguly was happy with the form of his middle-order batsmen who played a big role in the two wins.

"It's good that our batting is strong down the order and and we have been trying to do that. It's a big factor in winning one-day matches," he said.

"The wicket had something to offer throughout the day, the Oval pitch always has some thing in it and today the overcast conditions made the ball move around a bit more," Ganguly said

The skipper however was not overjoyed and said "with four more matches to go the important thing is to reach the final."

Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya, whose team has now lost both the matches, was disappointed with his team's batting.

"In the remaining four matches we need to bat really well and bowl like today," he said.

"Our batsmen are getting out on 30s and 40s and we cannot afford to do that. Some one has to get a good score," Jayasuriya said after Sri Lanka wasted a brilliant start to set India a modest target of 203.
