Even as Dravid stood ground defending his decision, senior pace bowler Zaheer Khan contradicted his captain's justification. "It's just that my bowlers had bowled 90 odd overs (in England's first innings), I can understand why people are disappointed sitting in their living rooms, but I have to look at my bowlers and the amount of work load they have put in the long series. I know them from close quarters and know their body language," Dravid said after India's first series win in England after 21 years. Zaheer told a TV channel: "I don't think I was tired."
