They had lost the series to us two years ago and did not want to take a chance.
It's tough to come back after the break and play the same way. It's tough to sight the ball in bad light.
We want to see him bat up the order. In the last few games he did not get a chance to bat.
We are progressing well. By the time of the World Cup, we will be ready in all departments -- bowling, batting order etc.
If the weather allows play, one or two more boys may be rested.
I don't think so! I have played better than many players who have played for India in the recent past. I have only one century while playing in the middle order as compared to nine as an opening batsman. By any standard, it's a good performance.
We want to win this series as well, we want to win two of the next three matches. Rain permitting, we will play our best eleven, though we will also rest some players and give those who haven't played a game yet a chance to show what they are capable of.
We are worried about the lack of runs from our openers and the top order and are working to correct this.
We are concerned about the lack of runs from our opening batsmen and the top order and would be working to put this right.
When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.
To participate in a World Cup is a great honour and achievement. I've played in three World Cups. The whole world watches you during a World Cup and expects you to play innings to win games for your country.
It doesn't matter if you have one billion rupees in your bank account or one rupee. This is one life you get, and you'd rather spend it enjoying whatever you have, rather than thinking, 'Oh, I should have scored seven more runs, or I should get more money.'
The most important thing for any athlete is to know his ability. If you know your ability and have even a little bit of a strong mindset, you can get success, because your ability takes you to success.
We did not get enough runs. If we had not lost early wickets, may be the scenario would have been different.
