'You always need luck in cricket' - Dhoni

  • Intro:

    MS Dhoni spoke to the media on Tuesday ahead of India's first Test against England in Nottingham.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): MS Dhoni, India captain:

    "We've always talked about not having that genuine seaming all-rounder, because of which we have to play with three fast bowlers and one spinner. And if it's not turning, you know, a lot of work, effort, needs to be shared by the fast bowlers. If you still look at those Test matches, I think the fast bowlers have bowled their heart out even when they came back for their third or fourth spell, still they were bowling at good pace and bowling at the right areas. I feel in the game of cricket, often you need luck on your side. There will be a few edges that go past the fielders and after that you have a few batsmen who are batting a couple of days, one and a half days, to save a defeat for their team. So you have to give credit to the opposition but overall I felt the bowling department did it really well and for us to be consistent, I think we'll have to do well both in the bowling and the batting department together because that's how you win Test matches."
