KOLKATA: Veteran curator Prabir Mukherjee hit back at Mahendra Singh Dhoni for terming the Eden Garden’s wicket for the fifth ODI against England “ugly looking”, asking how could the Indian captain then bat for so long and top score in the match.

“He knows good English. He has the liberty to express his views. But I would only say had the wicket been ‘ugly’, how is it that the opening batsmen of both sides did well? How is it that Dhoni himself played for so long,” septuagenarian Mukherjee said. Mukherjee said considering the fact that it was a virgin wicket and international matches are not played at Eden Gardens at this time of the year, the 22 yards did behave well.

“I did not see any problem. England bowled very well to take the Indian top order. Problem is one always wants to get the wicket of his choice. If one does not get it, then it’s a bad wicket, though facts may be to the contrary,” he said. (IANS)
