India vs Pakistan Highlights – Champions Trophy 2009
India vs Pakistan Highlights, ICC Champions Trophy, 2009, Centurion, Tshwane. Sat, Sep 26 2009. At the press conference, Dhoni started by holding the batsmen, including himself, responsible for the defeat. But the questions about the bowlers persisted, and once Dhoni started on subject, he was damning and he held little back.
“Between the 30th and the 42nd over, we gave away nearly 100 runs. That’s too many runs when the field is spread. That was tough. I have never seen so many runs scored backward of point. As a captain you can only set the field, you can’t bowl yourself. I think the Pakistan bowlers exploited the conditions really well. The spinners, the fast bowlers, they bowled in the areas where they had fielders.
“Losing the toss was a blessing in disguise. Because when we bowled up, it was tough for them and they played a few shots in the air. But we were quite consistent in bowling short.”
