MS Dhoni happy to see his bowlers ‘hunting in packs’ – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, but lavished special praise on bowlers for their phenomenal work in the game.
Dhoni and company routed West Indies by an innings and 15 runs in the Eden Gardens Test and attained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-Test competition.
Batting first, the Men in Blue posted a huge 631-run total, thanks to brilliant tons by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 and Dhoni.
The Indian side displayed an equally good show with the ball and restricted the Windies to 153 runs in the first innings to impose a follow-on.
The tourists came up with an improved performance later in the match and collected 463 runs in the second innings, but their effort was not good enough to hamper Indians from scripting an emphatic win.
Expressing satisfaction at his team’s fine recital, Dhoni stated that to watch his bowlers "hunting in packs" was pretty delightful.
"These bowlers can bowl quick. But the good thing is that all the bowlers took up the responsibility well. It doesn`t matter who is taking wickets. They are hunting in packs which is important," Dhoni said after his side finished the affair on the fourth
day.
The wicket-keeper batsman also lauded his batsmen for piling up a mammoth total and stated that achieving a good score in the first innings laid the foundation for a convincing victory. Meanwhile, Dhoni did not forget to give credit to his teammates for
showing immense pertinence in the field.
By batting steadily, the century-maker, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390, tested the temperament of the Indian players, who stayed in the field for almost two days.
"It was a long fielding session (in the second innings). We got them out quite easily in the first innings. But the wicket got flat in the second innings. So, it was very important for us to bowl patiently. (Darren) Bravo batted well along with Chanderpaul
but we knew a couple of wickets can open the gate," added the 30-year-old right-hander who clattered his fifth Test hundred in the contest.
