Dawn Moin attributes win to team work
31 October 2000

Rawalpindi, Oct 30: Pakistan captain attributed the series victory to team effort while his opposite number Nasser Hussain said he was disappointed with the result after having secured a 1-0 lead.

Moin said he was delighted because the boys showed consistency in their performance and bounced back to break the 26-year-old series drought.

"We were focused and determined to do well. Although we lost the opener, I was pleased with the performance of the boys because the result was because of factor which has already been highlighted," Moin said in his post-match conference.

Nasser Hussain said he was disappointed because the batsmen didn't get enough runs in the last two matches. "I think had we scored 200, we would could have made a match out of it. But we didn't play our quota of overs.

Hussain complimented the Pakistan spinners saying they were world class and showed their prowess, adding that if his team has to excel in the Test series they needed to learn the art of playing them quickly.

Hussain, commenting on the tear gassing which twice halted play, said: "It wasn't bad for a long time but that was uncomfortable for eyes and nose. It didn't affect the outcome of the match in anyway."
