It was an amazing day yesterday 20 wickets fell. Very difficult to explain why. |
It's one of those horrible things that can flare up at any time and we have to try and manage it now. |
Now that's too much cricket but I can't help it. |
Obviously, he has got a great record over the years and will take wickets on any pitch. |
Obviously, it's frustrating when you get weather like this. And the (weather) forecast is not good for the next two days, so I think it will be a drawn match. |
Our fielding was shocking and everything went wrong for us. We played badly and they played well. We got badly thrashed. |
Overall, it has been a brilliant performance and the bowlers excelled in tandem. |
Pakistan has played terrifically well in the last 12 months but we definitely need to find a method to beat India in the one-day game to restore our confidence. |
Practically we have one goal in mind and that is a year away and every series is part of our preparation to that goal. |
Sri Lanka are ahead but there is still an opportunity for us to win this game and we have to be positive. We can't just sit back now and think of trying to get a draw. |
The batsmen were the mood to chase even a big total like 380 but poor visibility restricted them to do so. |
The light was getting bad for quite some time and fortunately we were ahead of D/L Method when they (umpires) finally called off the match. |
The local media are questioning his technique and he is not as prolific as he has been. He is susceptible to the ball nipping back off the seam and does not move his feet as well as he used to. I do not want to tempt providence but, for all his class, he is not as destructive as he was and he can be contained. |
The one-day defeats against India were disappointing but our final goal is the 2007 World Cup. We have identified what went wrong and I am sure the boys have learned from them. |
There were no problems of security and the crowd was simply the best in Karachi. |
