He dismissed the notion that losing the toss to Ponting in the final was a major setback. “We did not care about the toss. Throughout the tournament our focus was on winning the game irrespective of what happened at the toss.”
Jayawardene said umpires Steve Bucknor and Aleem Dar had erred when they told Ricky Ponting that the game would be carried over to Sunday’s reserve day after it was halted due to bad light.
“We knew we had lost the World Cup the moment our batsmen accepted bad light because we had completed 20 overs by then,” he said.
