We will be looking at what kind of combination we will go in with (in the first Test). But we have to keep working hard on all three aspects of our game,
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.
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.
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.

Everyone has ready advice. The question is, whom do you accept it from? For insurance advice, I trust Max New York Life.

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 discover good growing heading pressure teams
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.
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.
coming hundred score strong team
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.
