Pakistan provides an ideal challenge and by playing a good team we would know where we stand.
We need results in test cricket. Both teams are evenly matched and we are excited about this game. We got some good batting practice in Lahore.
Most games at the international level are played in very good spirit. There are some personality clashes from time to time and there's a bit of emotion that comes out from each game. If there's no emotion in cricket at this level it would not be worth watching.
We will have the odd incident from time to time and it obviously makes life good to you guys. Why would you complain.
We are obviously keen to win the game. The spirit in the group is excellent. We were happy with most of what we did in the first game. We were happy with our batting in the first game, which was pretty good. The fielding was good too. The bowlers did pretty good too.
It's got to be good for the future of the Indian cricket.
It's a good flat batting wicket with not a blade of grass seen on it.
I don't want to see this happening with some really good players that we have,
I don't think he is far away from being in very good form. If he gets the sort of conditions that allow for good batting, I have no doubt that he will bat well.
