against assignment australia carry champions good great home next success tempo tough work
It would be really great if we can carry the tempo into our next home assignment against Australia next month. We know how tough it would be against the World champions but if we can carry the good work to the next series, I think it will be a real success for us.
account against aware bowling came easy good guys hot matters played series
We came into this series right after the one against Sri Lanka, so it was not easy for the guys and you are all aware about the prevalent hot and humid conditions. I think that the Kenyan bowling was also good. If we take all the matters into account you must say that we have played a very good series.
assure badly bangladesh critics good helped last played raise series team touch
We played badly in the last two series that only helped our critics to raise their voices. But now I tell you that this is a different side. The team is also in good touch after the one-day series. I can assure you that you will see a different Bangladesh in the Tests.

Although we didn't win, we pushed them to the last day and it was a good Test match for us in all ways. We dominated two days of play and we took more out of it although in the end they won.

This has been a very good match for us as it has taught us how to fight hard against top teams. It has been satisfying in the end but I thought we lost the match in our second innings.

It is a very good batting wicket and the outfield is fantastic. I definitely want to win the toss here.
against australia bat benefit bounce century days finished four good less losing saving scope special target tomorrow
There are still four days to go and you all know that Australia can bounce back from any stage. That's why our first target would be to bat at least two more sessions tomorrow and then we can think about saving the match. There is no scope to be over excited. It would have been satisfactory had we finished the day losing one less wicket. A century would have been good not only for me but also for the benefit of the team. Making a century against Australia is always special for any batsman.
confidence field riding
We will take to the field with more confidence riding on the achievements of the first Test.
believe easy isolate last merit ourselves outside perform slept standard tried
Even I slept well last night. We actually tried to take it easy so that we didn't feel much pressure. We tried to isolate ourselves from the outside world and told each other that this is the standard we are going to believe in. We are not doing something unusual. We have the merit to perform like this.
consistent improvement push showing team
We feel now that we can push any team in the world. We are showing improvement which is most important. As Dav has said, we have to be more consistent with our batting, but we have improved.
