Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer on Monday accused his team of missing chances and predicted that the second Test between India and Pakistan, thanks to another flat pitch, was headed for a dull draw.
"It's a flat pitch. We thought it would break but it certainly hasn't. It's tough to bowl out sides on these tracks. At the moment, it looks like a draw," Woolmer said at the end of the day's play.
Summing up the day's play, Woolmer said there was possibility of a result in the afternoon but his team did not take the chances.
"We didn't bowl intelligently after we had picked quick wickets.
However, we did bowl well in the last hour before we dropped those two catches. Both Dhoni and Pathan could have been out had these chances been taken."
About the verbal volleys that took place on the pitch between the batsmen and the fielders, Woolmer brushed aside the query saying 'they were friendly exchanges'.
Woolmer, however, praised Dhoni's fine hundred.
"He is a hard-hitting cricketer and he played an excellent innings. He also took on Shoaib Akhtar and that is a brave thing to do." The coach also was happy with Mohammad Asif.
"He bowled beautifully all day. It's a shame that those two catches didn't go to hand."
