Kolkata: Batting legend Javed Miandad on Wednesday pulled up Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer for crying foul over the bonus points system in the ongoing Asia Cup and said that the 'team management' had 'miscalculated' on the issue during the crucial Super League match against India.

''Everybody knew about the bonus points system before the tournament began. The rule applied equally for all,'' said Miandad, who was sacked as Pakistan coach after the team lost to visiting India in both the Test and One-day series in March-April.

''Even if I'd been part of the team now, I wouldn't have raised questions about the bonus point system,'' Miandad said.

He said that prior to the crucial Super League match against India last Sunday, the Pakistan team management should have had the thing in mind, and asked the players to be careful.

''After Mohammad Kaif got out, the Pakistanis should have gone all out. I think it was a miscalculation on the part of the team management,'' Miandad said.

Despite an emphatic 59 run win, Pakistan failed to deprive India of the vital bonus point, and subsequently crashed out of the tournament with India snatching a stunning last ball win against Sri Lanka last night.

After the India match, Woolmer had wasted no time in expressing his displeasure over the bonus points system in One-day International tournaments and found it "flawed".

"The issue of bonus points should be decided within the difference of 20-30 runs only. It is not fair when a side wins by 60 runs but is still not good enough for a bonus point," Woolmer had said.

Miandad felt that India stood a better chance of winning the final but criticised Sourav Ganguly's boys for their 'drooping body language', lackadaisical fielding and wayward bowling during most part of the Sri Lankan innings last night.

''The Indians bowled wayward. They made little effort on the field. They couldn't stop singles and twos and looked dispirited. As the Sri Lankan innings progressed, Indians' body language drooped,'' he said.

''In the early part of the innings, the Indians should have gone for the wickets or tried to put pressure. They did neither. It is no use blaming Ganguly. No captain can do anything when the players look so dispirited. For example, why should a seasoned player like Kumble have to be told about it?'' he asked.

In contrast, Miandad said, despite being criticised time and again, he had always believed in an aggressive and involved approach and played the game with a great deal of fighting spirit.

''Sehwag's crucial breakthrough and the second last over bowled by Irfan Pathan turned the game in India's favour. I think they were lucky,'' he said.

Miandad supported Ganguly's long-time policy of playing seven batsmen. ''I would have used three pacers, either Kumble or Harbhajan and asked for the services of Sachin Tendulkar or Virender Sehwag as the fifth bowler''.
