The latest & greatest news, reviews, scores and players from Field Hockey,
There was live commentary of match on US website. It was just story of not taking opportunity. Even Indian coach said in first match our players need to get used to international umpiring as Domestic umpires have different rules and not stringent .
Indians were rampant on attack but did not convert their chances. But there were motivated right till the end to score in last minute. Lets us not get into umpiring issue and lets beat England and Chile which were see us through. So cheer up Arum .we are still awaiting your assessment of Indian team .Thanks,
