No regrets from Moin and the boys

St. John's - In spite of losing a tense battle that could have gone
either way, Pakistan are in no way disappointed over what transpired
at the Antigua'Recreation Ground. Pakistan lost the match by one
wicket, but there were two umpiring decisions which television replays
suggested should have gone in their favour.
One was to West Indies captain Jimmy Adams and the other was to his
fellow Jamaican and match-winning partner Courtney Walsh.
Pakistan captain Moin Khan, however, refused to be critical about the
umpiring.
'These things always happen in tough Test series. There are no regrets
from me and my boys,' Moin said.
'We enjoyed our cricket. We played good cricket; that was enough for
us.'
Moin was high in praise for his team which was seeking to become
the'first-ever Pakistan side to win a series in the Caribbean.
'The way the boys played throughout the series, and especially in this
match, was a tremendous effort from each and every one of us,' he
said. 'It's a young side and whatever they did in the Caribbean was a
great effort throughout.'
Coach Javed Miandad shared a'similar view.
'The main thing is to play good cricket. Winning and losing is part of
the game,' Javed said.
'We came here to win the series. We wanted to make history, but
unfortunately, we didn't win it, but I think the game of cricket was
good. Everybody enjoyed it.'
