We did not play well, we definitely need to get better.

We discussed him in our bowler's meeting last evening. Some of the guys who have played against him in county cricket think he is a very good player.
bit needed stage
We needed another wicket at that stage (95-6), but could not get it. We could have probably bowled a bit better in that game.
bowling ideas
We have a young and inexperienced bowling attack. So we have to come up with new ideas. We have to be a little better that what we have done so far.

Pakistan is not an easy team to beat. We have had to play well to beat them in the series. I am happy with the strides we are taking as a team. As captain, it has been heartening to see that the boys are responding well to some of the challenges being thrown at them.
focus good guys last mistake month pakistan players shown
Pakistan have got some good players all round. I think if we focus on just one or two players in the team, we will be making a mistake and I think if they focus on one or two players in our team, they will be making a mistake because we have shown over the last month that a lot of our guys are performing.
batting both order top
Our batting in both innings, the top order especially, let us down.
great people played pressure pulled series team
It is a great feeling, everyone has played well. The team had been under pressure at times in the series but we had people who pulled the team out.
competition forward good looking pakistan side
It is a different competition with different rules. Pakistan is a good one-day side especially at home. We have a young side who has done well recently. We are looking forward to it.
session tomorrow
I think the first session tomorrow is going to be very critical,
couple good last months performance
Last couple of months have been really good. There have been good performance from all the players.
