We know we have to play well. We have to play one day of good cricket out of the remaining two to win the series. We are confident of doing it. We have shown in the last two games we can play well in all departments.
bat confident cricket games good plans playing prefer specific won
We are playing good cricket and have won 11 games when we have chased. We are confident of doing both. We have specific plans when we bat first or chase. I do not think we prefer doing one over another.
correct few games hope runs series top
We will like a few more runs in the top order. In the first two games we could have got a few more runs but it is a seven-match series and we hope to correct that.

There are so many fans and so many people who care deeply about this game, and it is because of these fans that we are who we are as cricketers.
hands games skills
The bowlers I respected or feared or rated were not the ones who gave me lip or stared at me or abused me. More the ones who, at any stage of the game, when had they had the ball in hand, they were going to be at me, and they were going to have the skill and the fitness and the ability to be aggressive.
winning games fields
You don't win or lose the games bcoz of 11 you select. You win or lose with what those 11 do on the field.
fired gets order top
What he does when he gets fired at the top of the order is very destructive and that is something he had done successfully in the past.
achieving goals players results terms
We want to put the players under pressure. (But) not in terms of results that come naturally, but in terms of achieving different goals they have been set.

There are choices to make and someone will be unlucky. That is how life is.

There are some cracks on it but otherwise it looks a good track.

We know we have to play one good day to win the series and we have plans to meet the challenges of either chasing or setting the targets for the opposition.
chance game opportunity
We also see tomorrow's game as an opportunity to give a chance to some of our batsmen and bowlers.
