Pakistan’s acting captain Younis Khan on Wednesday cautioned against blaming India despite thumping them by 341 runs in the final Test here to clinch the series 1-0.

"A lot went in our favour in this game which could have gone either way,” said Younis, who deputed for the injured Inzamamul Haq in the crucial Test at the National Stadium.

"It was probably a good toss to lose," said Younis, recalling his Indian counterpart Rahul Dravid's decision to field first after winning the toss.

"Anything could have happened after 39-6,we could nave been bowled out for 100 and that would have changed the game.

"But Akmal and the others rose to the occasion. Maybe the early wickets we got in India's second innings helped us win theTest.

"We may have got them in four hours in the end, but it was not as easy as it seemed. We had the better luck."

India's Dravid said his team was outclassed by a team that played better cricket over the four days.

"We had a few strategies in place to contain them, but obviously it did not work. Simply put, we were outclassed.

"We could not have hoped for a better start when Irfan (Pathan) took that hattrick," Dravid said.

"But then Kamran (Akmal) batted very well. Worse, we did not bat well at all and that in the end cost us the game."

Dravid stressed his team did not have trouble facing the seaming ball.

"Any batting line-up would have struggled to put bat to ball on the first two days when the wicket wasseamingaround," said Dravid.

"But we should have batted better than we did. We have done well in the past so there is no reason to think we struggle when the ball moves in the airor off the wicket.

"We were just not good enough in this game. We need to rethink ourstrategyandthecombination?
