Mohali, November 03: Relieved after the series-levelling 24-run win, Australia captain Ricky Ponting said he was afraid that 250-run may not be enough but his bowlers made it possible.
“It was a good win but I thought we left out some 30-40 runs. We lost wickets at crucial moments which causes to lose momentum and 250 seemed a little short. But our bowlers did a great job,” a beaming Ponting said after the win over India.
Heaping praise on left-arm pacer Doug Bollinger, who took three wickets, Ponting said, “He showed his wicket-taking ability today. Everytime I pressed him into action, he did well. He and Shane (Watson), along with (Nathan) Hauritz did well and the whole bowling unit did a great job. The dew made it harder but we stuck to our job.
