ball bit both taken
It was unfortunate we both got out just before the new ball was taken and that put us in a bit of trouble.
bad bit couple england good happened key luck
England will be a very good side, very competitive. They've had a bit of bad luck and it has been a little unfortunate what happened to a couple of their key players.
bat bit good might similar tests track
The track was a good wicket to bat on and was a bit slow. It was a similar kind of wicket we might get in Tests as well,
bit england
We thought we would give England a bit of a scare.
bit cards good honest initially lay looks might table
I wouldn't lay out my cards on the table now, to be honest it looks a very good wicket that might do a little bit initially for the bowlers.
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.
might problem risk
We might not risk him if the problem doesn't settle.

We will not target individual players. We will play Pakistan as a team.

We fell short by 30 runs and lost wickets in the beginning and that was the reason for the loss.

We expected them to go for such flat pitches to blunt our bowlers.

exciting finish heading lose match rules towards
It was an unfortunate way to lose the match. But rules are rules and they are part of the game. The match was heading towards an exciting finish when it had to be called off.
ball fine shot unlucky
The shot was on without the fine leg. He was unlucky that the ball rolled on to the stumps.
early grass help played
The wicket had grass on it when we played here two years ago, but it may help spinners early this time.
