They got better as the tour went on and learned a lot in Australia. Hopefully they will learn from it and become a better side,&quot; Ganguly told IANS on the sidelines of an event for Coca-Cola India, NDTV and UN-Habitat&#39;s Support My School programme, which he has lent support to.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Asked about the present Indian side, Ganguly said it was a young team.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;There are some good players and we will be a good side if we are properly managed and looked after well.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Asked to compare the three Australian World Cup winning sides of 2003, 2007 and 2015, he replied: &quot;We can&#39;t really compare sides. You don&#39;t compare eras.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;Australia is a great cricketing nation. They won the World Cup in 2007 and they had a blip in 2011 when they were not one of the best sides.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;But the best thing for them is that they recovered in a four year time to win another World Cup. That&#39;s what good cricketing sides are. You just don&#39;t leave it with one win or a couple of wins,&quot; said the 42-year-old.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
