I am happy with a tie: Mahendra Singh Dhoni

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said Sunday that he was happy with a tie against England in a Group B encounter of the World Cup here at the M. Chinnswamy Stadium.

?The way they started I definitely am happy with a tie. When they were two down the way they were going the bowlers were finding it very tough. Zak (Zaheer Khan) changed it around for us, he is a different bowler if you try and come at him it’s very difficult. It could count as a win in the points table at the end,” he said.

England captain Andrew Strauss, who struck a career best 158, was confused when he was asked whether he was happy with the result.

?Yes and no, really,” answered Strauss to whether he is happy with the result.

“We were in a great position and then had a shocking Powerplay. After that we were lucky and grateful for Swann and Shahzad to getting us to the tie. We’re happy and devastated at the same time but privileged to play in a game like this,” he said.
