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.

Both teams know the importance of the series and I am sure the players are aware of their responsibilities.

Both times we lost tosses and we had to respond to big totals, and that's not easy no matter how flat the wickets were.

against boards both country cricket good lose natural people solution tend

against anyone attack both bowling deck doubt faced good hit innings line quality regularly
Against a good quality seam attack not only us, anyone could have faced a problem. Asif hit the seam on the deck regularly at the right line and I have no doubt his bowling in both innings made the difference.
against both case indian manner match opinion referee spirit spoken taken team umpires whom
In my opinion, and in the opinion of the umpires and match referee, both of whom I have spoken to, the Indian team did not get in any manner that was unsportsmanlike or against the spirit of the game. If that had been the case the umpires and the match referee would have taken action.

We might not risk him if the problem doesn't settle.
individual pakistan target
We will not target individual players. We will play Pakistan as a team.
