England may have got off to a winning start on their all-important tour of India but according to coach Duncan Fletcher, victory was not what they aspired for.
“We used this as a practice game and it was satisfactory. We didn’t really push for a win, honestly. We went there to use the three days as effectively as we could giving all batsmen to bat and all bowlers to bowl. We were pleased with the way we finished at the end,” said the Zimbabwe-born on Monday.
He was pleased with the way his bowlers performed in the second innings.
England have not yet decided on their first spinner(s) for the Tests.
Fletcher was happy with Monty Panesar.
“I was very pleased with the way he handled his business here,” he said.
