cricket focus good playing special trying
While it is always special to play your 100th game, the focus really is on playing good cricket and trying to win.
bat confusion good mind pitch
This wicket is different from the ones we've had before on this tour. But there is no confusion in mind about this pitch. It will be a good pitch to bat on.
carries gets good happy hoping won
We are very happy to have won the first two matches. But we are hoping that once a batsman gets set, he carries on to make a good score.
africa against considered discussed gets good lower moment options order quite runs south
We have discussed a lot of options and he did come lower down the order for us against South Africa and got some runs. That's something we have considered and we have thought about it as well, but at the moment we want to give him some more opportunities. When he gets firing, he is very destructive and fetches good runs for the team, something he has done for us in the past, quite often.
country enjoyed forward good hope last looking pakistan time tour
I am looking forward to the series, it should be a good one. We had a very good tour of Pakistan last time and I enjoyed the country and enjoyed going there. Hope the same this time.
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.
cricket good
If we play good cricket, we should win,
batting boys good key performance
I thought it was a very professional performance from our boys. The key was the bowling. They bowled really well on a good batting track.
boys good
It has been a good two weeks. The boys responded very well.
against boards both country cricket good lose natural people solution tend
It is natural that if you play too much against one country people tend to lose interest. The two boards I think are working on a solution which would be good for cricket in both countries.
cricket good happened past positive test
Irrespective of what happened in the past (the just-concluded Test series), we will play positive and good cricket.
chasing confident goal good recent series target win
Our goal was to win the series 4-1. We were confident of chasing a target and we have been good at doing that in recent times.
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.
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.
