They (Pakistan) have a very good batting line-up. But our bowlers bowled very well and we took some very good catches. It was a determined team effort that fetched us this victory. |
They can be devastating against any bowling on their day. We have to accept that and respect that. |
They fought really hard in the Test matches and used a lot of energy to draw the series. Bombay was critical for us psychologically and the way the boys bounced back was a credit to us. |
They have shown so far they are a very competitive team. It wasn't an easy game by any stretch of the imagination and nine wickets does not reflect the contest between the two sides. |
They've done well there, last time they beat Pakistan. England have shown this summer that they have got the personnel. |
This last match is as important as the other matches, so we need to win this as well as the objective is to win every time we play. |
This wicket is different from the ones we've had before on this tour. But there is no confusion in mind about this pitch. It will be a good pitch to bat on. |
Two performances cannot take away anything, it is people's perception. Our performance still stands even if we lose these two games. |
We also see tomorrow's game as an opportunity to give a chance to some of our batsmen and bowlers. |
We are not ruling out anyone for the World Cup. |
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 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 very happy to have won the first two matches. |
We are very happy to have won the first two matches. But we are hoping that once a batsman gets set, he carries on to make a good score. |
We batted really poorly after lunch. England played well right through the test, they kept the pressure on. I congratulate them. They played some very good cricket. |
