New Delhi: India is back in the reckoning in the one day series against Australia, after Monday's win. And it's not just us saying that. Here's Adam Gilchrist in a special interview with CNN-IBN.
The Australian lead in the series might have been clipped by India with a win on Monday, but Australia vice-captain Adam Gilchrist believes they can still pull it off. He spoke to CNN-IBN after the defeat on what cost them the match and more.
Gilchrist: I thought we contained them really well. We let them off the hook at the end of the innings, probably the last few overs were a bit expensive. We gave away quite a few extras.While I was keeping I let go a few, which went for four or five wides. That didn’t help at the end of the day. And we were in control with the bat, but the last few overs cost us dearly. Their closing overs as a bowling unit were quite impressive. They bowled yorkers and it was tough for our guys to hit off boundaries.
Digvijay: You got off to a great start with Matthew Hayden taking over and Andrew Symonds coming in, there was a sense that all was gone (for India)?
Gilchrist: Yes, Matty and I went at run a ball or 7-8 an over, for 6-7 overs but I fell in a trap and hit it straight down the fieldsman’s throat. We felt that every time we were going, we lost a wicket. Harbhajan bowled quite well, Murali Kartik coming back in the side after being a commentator for the first few games, did a wonderful job.
Digvijay: You are 2-1 up, if you had won this there was no chance of India coming back, so it sets it up perfectly for the last three.
Gilchrist: India fought back and we knew that they were capable of that. They have got that great experience there, some determined youngsters there and have the weight of the crowd pushing them on. So it does make it very exciting. We all move on to the next venue and try take it on from there.
