In the other semi-final, Pakistan, with a similar style of play, succumbed to X. “The unsuitable turf denied the hockey world of what would have been one of the finest finals ever,” rues Datt.
It rained the night before and drizzled through D-day, August 12. A worried Indian team watched Pakistan struggle in the third place play-off before they were to take the field. “We realised that the grass was so slushy that our Asian style short passes would not work.
