JOHANNESBURG: After his first assignment with the Pakistan cricket team in the Twenty20 World Cup, coach Geoff Lawson praised the players, saying they were a terrific bunch and not a disjointed and unharmonious side.
    
"I'm a little bit tired of reading how disjointed and unharmonious the Pakistan team is, as people just don't know what goes on in that dressing-room. They're a terrific bunch of guys, and we've got all the ingredients to be a good side," Lawson said after their five-run defeat against India on Monday.
    
"Results apart, I've been really happy with the consistency our guys have shown. They've shown fight when they've been under pressure, and today was no exception," he was quoted as saying by the BBC Sport on Tuesday.
    
The Australian also defended batsman Misbah-ul-Haq, whose unorthodox shot saw him caught at fine leg as he stepped across to the off-side, sealing the matter in India's favour.
    
"He's played it well in this tournament and with a little more bat on it, it would have gone for four. I could see him playing it because fine leg was up, a yorker was coming so the shot was pretty much on the cards. Having already had a tie with India, it was always going to be close," he said.
