Re: Malik’s captaincy
‘Dew had big impact on game’ - Dhoni
“If we had won the toss we would have fielded so I was surprised when Malik chose to bat,” Dhoni said. “There was a lot of dew on the field when we practised last evening which had a big impact on the game. Even though they were playing four fast bowlers it was difficult to bowl in the right areas.”
Malik, however, downplayed the dew factor and said that the game was up when the Pakistan fast bowlers failed to rein in the Indian batsmen at the start. The one-day bandwagon now rolls in to Jaipur and the dew factor will once again come into play in another day-night contest.

Just plain sad that after playing 6-7 years of internation cricket, Malik still doesn’t know how to read the playing conditions.
