Any bowler who can reverse swing the ball at good pace can be very difficult to face on our tracks. |
At this time of the year, it's very cold in Punjab and it becomes impossible to start the match early because of fog. And in the evening the light deteriorates very quickly. |
He is a great batsman and capable of changing the fortunes of a game at any time. |
He ran well and he looked good which is a good sign for Indian cricket. If you look at his record it is impressive. |
In the end it was a good toss to lose because the wicket got better for batting on the third day. |
It is good for us and bad for England. |
It is good for us and bad for England. Because he was the one bowler who really mastered the art of bowling reverse swing at a good pace in the Ashes series. |
It is not going to be that easy for the batsmen later on in the match. I think we hold the advantage. |
It is not right and such things upset the concentration of the players. We have a good game of cricket on our hands and they should enjoy that. |
It should be an exciting and close series because both teams are playing well. |
It was a good batting wicket out there and I was under pressure to get some runs. My only aim was to stay out there as long as possible and keep the runs coming. |
It was a tremendous victory especially after we were six down for 39 in the first innings. |
Malik has played sensibly as a middle-order batsman and I believe he can do the same as an opener. He is a good prospect. |
Our side is very balanced now, with a good bowling attack, and the batting prowess shown by our players in the England series is a good indication of what we are capable of. I am keenly waiting for the series to begin. |
Our strength is that we are clicking as a unit with everyone pitching in when required, in batting and bowling. And, the series win over England has given us a lot of confidence. But still India is a very good side and they know our conditions well, so it's not going to be easy against them. |
