correct few games hope runs series top
We will like a few more runs in the top order. In the first two games we could have got a few more runs but it is a seven-match series and we hope to correct that.
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.
bring case due feels games losing seriously weather
If they are losing a lot of games due to weather then there is some sense to do that. If the PCB seriously feels that they are losing games due to weather they should bring up the case with the ICC.
confident cricket games good last remaining shown win
We know we have to play well. We have to play one day of good cricket out of the remaining two to win the series. We are confident of doing it. We have shown in the last two games we can play well in all departments.
running government games
Administrators are there because of the fans and the cricketers to run this game, so credibility of a game, or a board, or even a government for that matter, is important irrespective of what you do. If you are in public life it is important,
games people fans
There are so many fans and so many people who care deeply about this game, and it is because of these fans that we are who we are as cricketers.
hands games skills
The bowlers I respected or feared or rated were not the ones who gave me lip or stared at me or abused me. More the ones who, at any stage of the game, when had they had the ball in hand, they were going to be at me, and they were going to have the skill and the fitness and the ability to be aggressive.
winning games fields
You don't win or lose the games bcoz of 11 you select. You win or lose with what those 11 do on the field.
boys good
It has been a good two weeks. The boys responded very well.
areas ball both innings quality
I think the way Asif bowled with the new ball in both innings was quality stuff. He put the ball in the right areas and used the seam beautifully.
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.
bat decision run runs short
We were 30 runs short on that wicket. I still think it was the right decision to bat first, we just didn't bat well enough, and the run outs didn't help.
batting best clicked guess played playing
We played the best batting combination and it clicked in the first two Tests. But I guess we now have to think about playing the best batsmen in best positions.
easier final gets nice
When you're in it gets easier to bat, so it was nice to get two new batsmen at the crease for the final day.
