NEWS India-Sri Lanka ODI Series 2006>Dhoni not scared by blast in Sri Lanka 22nd Aug 2006 22.09 IST By Agencies Though South Africa pulled out of a tri-series following the bomb blast near their team hotel in Sri Lanka, Indian wicket-keeper Mahendra Dhoni today said he was not at all scared after the incident. "Yeah, it was okay," he said when asked how he felt about the security scenario in Colombo, while firmly saying "no" to another query whether the bomb blast scared him like the South Africans.
India, however, stayed on to play a three-match bilateral one-day series against Sri Lanka, but it could not be played due to heavy rains. "It was raining too much, and there was no scope for any play", Dhoni said. Dhoni, however, refrained from commenting on the recent row-relating umpire Darell Hair, who alleged Pakistan of ball tampering. Dhoni returned home after the cancellation of the mutually agreed three-match series.
