expect good last runs
I expect this wicket to last much better than the last two. Anything more than 250 runs will be a good score.
england expect fight hard left
I expect them (England) to come back hard at us. There is a lot of fight left in them and they are a very competitive unit.

From the position where I stood, it looked that it was not done deliberately. So we did not appeal.

For us it is critical to try and get him back into form and we will do whatever it takes to get him back to form.
captain great greatest job series shown truly
I think he did a great job as a captain in his first series and he's truly shown why is the greatest all-rounder in the world at the moment.

I thought it was a very professional performance from our boys. The key was the bowling. They bowled really well on a good batting track.

We played the best batting combination and it clicked in the first two Tests. But I guess we now have to think about playing the best batsmen in best positions.

When you're in it gets easier to bat, so it was nice to get two new batsmen at the crease for the final day.
boys early ourselves poor shots
We had let ourselves down with some poor shots early on. The young boys showed us how to play.

We had great cricket in two last two series because of the quality of pitches. Unfortunately, the wickets in the first two Tests here have not lived up to the expectations of an India-Pakistan contest.

We are not ruling out anyone for the World Cup.
backs doubt stay test wall
We had our backs to the wall right through the Test match, no doubt about that, and we did well to stay in it and keep fighting.
backs days good knew surprise three wall
We had our backs to the wall for three days in the first test. They didn't surprise us, we knew they're a good team.
authority decided importance issue keeping option pass relevance relevant series taking
We have the option of taking up the issue with the relevant authorities, but keeping the relevance and importance of the series we have decided to let the issue pass and put it to rest.
