He sized up the situation very early on. There was help for the bowlers when the ball was hard and new and he knew he had to play cautiously. He controlled the innings beautifully. It was one of the best innings of several played by him on a difficult pitch. It was a special one.
Our aim is to try and win test matches, irrespective of the conditions, and we need to look at the best combination to win. We thought we needed five bowlers to get us 20 wickets and to have a serious chance to win this test.
We played the best batting combination and it clicked in the first two Tests. But I guess we now have to think about playing the best batsmen in best positions.
He proved he is the best all-rounder in the world at the moment.
Every series is a challenge. We have prepared ourselves the best we can. We want to enjoy our cricket.
