cricket fight good hard left lifted performance played single slip
It was not that a single performance lifted us. It was a hard fight and we played good cricket. But we can't slip up as there is still a lot left in the series.
chase chasing decided easy hour launch maybe tea
It was never going to be easy chasing those runs. We decided to launch the chase at tea time, but maybe we should have done so an hour earlier.
batting bowlers boys confident cricket four good great innings pakistan performance restricted run
It was a great professional performance from our team. We had four run outs in Pakistan innings that was fantastic. The boys were confident after our bowlers did well and restricted Pakistan to 265 on a good batting wicket.
days good people played point three
It was a good three days from our point of view. Anil (Kumble) bowled a good spell. For people like Balaji who have not played for a while, it was good to have a go in these conditions. In the end it was a good work-out.
bat both easy field pakistan staying test
It's very heartening the way we have responded to big Pakistan totals in both the Test matches. It's not easy to bat after staying on the field for two days.
behind brilliant catching left lose method nice
It's not a nice way to lose the match. We were always behind on the D/L method and after Butt and Malik put on a brilliant partnership we were left to play the catching game.
accept advice insurance max question ready trust whom york
Everyone has ready advice. The question is, whom do you accept it from? For insurance advice, I trust Max New York Life.
confidence considered gives good scratch
It is very satisfying. It gives us confidence to know that we can scratch and still go on to win, particularly considering that we were not considered good chasers not a long while ago.
ahead course hopefully progress season start
It's a long season ahead for us. It's the start of what I see as a very long 6-8 months. If we take the right steps, hopefully we will see some progress in the course of time.
bat difficult later looks remain since sun
It looks better but since the sun is out it could become difficult later on and we will have to bat really well to remain in the match.
bizarre collective lapse lunch quite
It was quite bizarre really the way we collapsed. After lunch there was a collective lapse of reason.
attacks england indian played satisfying
It was a very satisfying innings, England have one of the better attacks I have played in Indian conditions.
good test winter
It will be interesting to see how they go in the winter in the sub-continent. That will be a good test for them,
both challenge teams tough
It will be tough for both the teams and a challenge for both batsman and bowlers.
