After the tour to Pakistan, we just thought we'll take some time off and spend it here. I had hoped to spend the off-season (winters) here. But then I got in with a serious chance to play for England and my assignments with the 'A' team didn't allow me the chance to play here. |
I was disappointed with the way things went in Bangladesh and I felt I needed to work on a number of aspects of my game. |
International tours are all about dealing with these sorts of situations and we as a squad should be able to deal with it. |
It was a good wicket for the two days we played. We were fortunate enough to win the toss and post a challenging total. |
It will be very interesting. Everybody is keeping a close eye on how this develops here. Lights react in different ways in different parts of the world. I do not know how much dew plays a part, especially in a tropical climate. We will just have to wait and see how the first game goes and assess the situation. |
We had a wonderful series with some close matches and good individual performances with bat and ball. It speaks well for what will hopefully be a good one day series. |
We made a few mistakes and hopefully we can rectify them before the series. |
