The pitches in the sub-continent are traditionally the same but if we have good weather for five days then we can get a result either way which is good. Because we are not here to play drawn matches.
We are trying to build good partnerships and are confident of handling the Pakistani bowlers who did well against England at home.
Once in a while it's okay, but I think he should bat at No. 3 because he is a very good player at this number.
I don't think so! I have played better than many players who have played for India in the recent past. I have only one century while playing in the middle order as compared to nine as an opening batsman. By any standard, it's a good performance.
It is the prerogative of the home side to prepare the pitch. We are ready to play on any wicket but such wickets are not good for cricket.
We will be more happy if result oriented wickets are prepared because playing a drawn test match is not good for the game.
