Asif is one of those McGrath-like bowlers who bowl really tight line and lengths and just get the ball to go in and out a little. |
Bowlers did a great job and I am pleasantly surprised at the capitulation of India's strong batting line-up. |
But as he walks away he can be proud that many people all around the world are sad to see him go - cricket will be poorer without him. |
Everything went wrong today. We played very badly and India played very well. And, as it turned out, India thrashed us. |
He has been rested as we have four more games after this one. |
He is in great mental stress and he has to decide about the third test. |
He is the sort of bowler that Pakistan has not had for some time and we know we need to look after him. |
He scored heavily against England in the matches he played against India. You always can't score that heavily. |
His batting is one of the positives we had from the match. He batted superbly. |
His figures speak for his performance. |
I don't want to knock my side. They did the best they could, but nothing went right for them. |
I observed the pitch and it was excellent but yet I am not sure how it would behave on the day. |
It is all about how you perform on the field. It is a mental game and how well you display your talent depends on one's confidence. |
It is obviously frustrating to have weather like this. But you can't blame it on anyone. Neither would I blame anyone for this pitch. |
It is very exciting for Pakistan that he has bowled as well as he has done here. |
