Habibul Bashar Australia Quotations

There are still four days to go and you all know that Australia can bounce back from any stage. That's why our first target would be to bat at least two more sessions tomorrow and then we can think about saving the match. There is no scope to be over excited. It would have been satisfactory had we finished the day losing one less wicket. A century would have been good not only for me but also for the benefit of the team. Making a century against Australia is always special for any batsman.

It would be really great if we can carry the tempo into our next home assignment against Australia next month. We know how tough it would be against the World champions but if we can carry the good work to the next series, I think it will be a real success for us.

Australia will come back strongly but we are happy to have played a fine first test. Taking them to the fifth day of the match has been no mean achievement for us.

That victory against Australia has given us the confidence that we can beat any side in the world,

It was a great Test match for us -- we had our chances. Pushing Australia to five days is a great thing to achieve and everyone is doing their job. Ricky was unstoppable today.
