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.
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.
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.

I want to play for India for another 3-4 years and be part of a winning team. I hope that we combine together and become a good side again and start winning again. I should be lucky enough to be a big contributor in that. If I perform well I will definitely play for another 3-4 years.

Against good teams (like Pakistan), when you put yourself under pressure you discover lot of things like how you are growing as a team and I think we are heading in good direction.

I'm disappointed at not getting a hundred after coming so close. It's not just the century. I wanted to go on to make a big score and put the team into a really strong position.

I have played here before. I know that once you get to 60-70 it becomes hard to concentrate.

I'm very happy with the way he played. It is good to see the kind of temperament.
behind catching game lose method nice playing
It was not a nice way to lose a match. We were always behind the D/L Method after Malik and Butt's partnership and we were playing the catching (up) game after that.
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.
