Fletcher: Slow pitch made chasing difficult

11.07.11

India trainer Duncan Fletcher was forced to defend his side's decision to settle for a draw after sharing the honours in the third Prove against West Indies.

The home side put up fierce resistance on the final day both with bat and ball, with Shivnarine Chanderpaul scoring an unbeaten century to in force up the Indian charge.

When the tourists did eventually get to bat, they were left needing 180 from 47 overs to seal the win, but at 94 for three with 15 overs surviving they decided to settle for a draw and a 1-0 series victory.

India would have required 86 runs from 90 deliveries - a very achievable track in limited-overs cricket - but Fletcher insisted that the pace of the pitch made it tricky.

"It (run-scoring on that pitch) was difficult. Once it got to four or five runs per over we were struggling to packs. We were struggling to score three runs per over," said Fletcher.

"The side decided it was difficult to get those runs and thought what's the inconsequential in reference to in going there and ending up maybe with just one side able to winning it."
