Zak and Ishant bowled beautifully in the death. Then we were off to a flier by Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar.
We did not bowl well in the first 20 overs where we bowled a little short. And obviously, very little a team can do when you have superb players like Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar on form.
We've been outplayed again, Virender (Sehwag) and Sachin (Tendulkar) played very well at the top of the order.
India played fantastic cricket, they played with a lot of freedom, without any fear and with a lot of confidence after beating Australia. Somebody in the India line-up tends to come out and do us. Yuvraj has done us on occasions and when Virender Sehwag bats like that it's great to watch but when you're the opposing captain it's very hard work
Astrologers and family have been putting pressure on me to opt for different numbers and I decided that I don’t need a number
We have won the series and can give exposure to these players. At the next World Cup, these players should have atleast 70 to 80 matches under their belt
I knew if we play to 70 and 80 per cent of our potential, we could defeat England. Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel and Ishant Sharma bowled brilliantly and set the match up for us
You feel good to see the word vice-captain after your name and it makes you aware of your role within the team, but it has not affected the way I bat
It is the same…but now, I give myself time with the new ball. Coach Gary Kirsten has told me to understand the bowlers initially
No. We knew it was a flat wicket with good bounce and our run-rate was good so we were not worried. They tried to bowl back-of-length but I was prepared
