Pune warrior is much better than results - Marsh

Mohali, May 8 (PTI) Inconsistent batting has let them down in their debut IPL season but Pune Warriors coach Geoff Marsh asserted that his side is a much better than what results show.

Warriors succeeded in breaking the seven-match losing string tonight when they pipped Kings XI Punjab by five wickets.

"We are definitely a better side. We felt there were times we didn't execute (plans) well. This was our first year, we had a tough time. We had two good games to start with against Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings," Marsh said at the post-match news conference here.

Chasing 120 for victory after being asked to bowl first, Pune achieved the target for the loss of five wickets.

"It was a pleasing, good consistent performance today," Marsh, whose two sons featured in today's game with Shaun and Mitchell representing KXIP and Pune, respectively, said.
