ashes cricket ensures future plan sure
I am sure in future they will come up with a plan like the Ashes which ensures that there is not too much and not too little cricket played. I think you got to get the right balance.
challenges chasing either good meet plans series setting targets win
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.
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.

We are planning to developing a strategy which will give us 20 wickets in a match as in the last four encounters we were unable to do so for a victory.

We do understand it is an important game. Every game is important it will be nice (to seal it). But I do not think we will deviate too much from our plans for this game.

The huge advantage India used to have playing at home probably does not exist anymore. Most teams plan their tours well these days.

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.
