Dhoni sees positives despite loss

I missed the match between India & Australia where Australia posted a mammoth of a total and dismissed Indian top-order early in the innings. Surprisingly India's middle-order held on and the tail wagged to close in to the total. NDTV 24x7 as always provided me with an in-depth analysis of the match.

India captain MS Dhoni on Sunday said his side could have chased down the huge Australian total had the top order given a good start, though he was happy they gave a scare to their opponents by coming close to the target.

Dhoni admitted it was a case of so near yet so far but said he would take "a lot of positives" for his side from the loss."I think we can take lots of positives from the game even though we lost it. We never gave up for the run chase even after we had lost a couple of wickets early on"

I don't think I will have the time to watch the rest of the matches in the series but will definitely watch NDTV 24x7 for all the news related to cricket. The fantastic news channel is available in the US only through DirecTV.
