It will be tough for both the teams and a challenge for both batsman and bowlers.

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 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.

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.

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.
