England skipper Nasser Hussain admitted that his side were totally outclassed on the day. "Nothing went wrong really. India just played exceptionally well on the day. The first eight overs they bowled were very difficult for our batsmen and again when they batted their first fifteen overs were they were very good," he said. His counterpart Sourav Ganguly, meanwhile, praised Man of the Match Sehwag for his role in fashioning the Indian win. "His innings was absolutely brilliant and took the pressure away from us. The way he played took the sting out of the game. By the time he was dismissed, the game was already in our pocket," the Indian skipper observed.
