It was a fair result: Alastair Cook

 

London, Sep 12: India might be feeling hard-done by the weather gods but England skipper Alastair Cook said the tie forced by rain interruptions in the fourth ODI here was a fair result.

Cook was a relieved man after the tie allowed his side to clinch the five-cricket match series by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead here yesterday.

England were 270 for eight when the third and final rain intervention forced the match to end in a tie under the Duckworth-Lewis rule.

"It''s human. When you''re ahead of the game and get to go off, you''re obviously going to be happier than the other team.

It was quite clear when we came off the first time we wanted to go back because we were behind," Cook told reporters in the post-match press conference.

"When we came off second time, when we were ahead, if we are all being honest we would have quite liked it to have rained for another hour and we wouldn''t have had the last few overs," he said.

"We ended up having to bat for the weather and with Duckworth-Lewis ball by ball, it was an extremely tough situation for both the sides. I think it probably was a fair result," he added.

Cook lauded Ravi Bopara for his 96-run knock that held the .

"The way Ravi (Bopara), Tim Bresnan and Graeme Swann held their nerves and got us almost over the line, and to win the series because of it, makes us delighted" .

Bopara, who was caught on the edge of the midwicket fence by Ravindra Jadeja, though was disappointed with the result.

"It''s extremely disappointing that we didn''t end up winning. I never quite knew when to accelerate with the weather and big black clouds lurking round the back there," he said.
