His dream of winning an 'away' Test series shattered by New Zealand, Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly tried to unsuccessfully hide his emotions.

After India were beaten by four wickets in the second Test, Ganguly said, "I am disappointed with the way the [Test] series went for us, but this is not the end of the world.

"We now have to prepare for the one-dayers and hopefully we will come up with a much improved performance."

New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming also expected a much tougher contest in the ODIs. Since the wickets will not be as difficult as they were in the Tests, he said his team will have to work harder.

"The Indians struggled on the pitches here, but the one-day wickets will suit them a lot better," Fleming said.

He admitted his team was nervous while chasing the target on Sunday, especially after he himself got out.
