We shall decide after we take a look at the wicket tomorrow.
He says that he is better. He'll have a bowl at the nets, and then we'll find out.
Not at this stage of the series.
When you don't make runs, criticism will happen. But I have also got some support in the press. It's my responsibility to score runs, and I have done just that for a number of years, and I believe I can do it again.
I have made hundreds on this ground, and not just one-day hundreds but also two Test hundreds. If I'm lucky, I'll do it again.
It is definately a factor. But it was hottest at Kochi, where we played the first one-dayer. The rest of the venues have been hot, but not that hot.
I've had a word with the bowlers and fielders. It's not just about the captain, it's a team game. We all have to hurry up.
One can't say anything until the game begins. In Visakhapatnam we thought 250 would be a good score, we ended up making 357.
He bowled well in the last game. But we got big scores in the first two.
It will take a game or two for him to get back into his rhythm. It is good that our best allrounder has started bowling again.
Well, we've gone from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the ground. It seems nice so far.
It looks good. We have no anxiety about playing here. None of our boys have seen anything that gives us reason to worry.
You know how hot it is in the gallery. It's hotter on the field. I'm a human being, I get affected.
Earlier you would complain that I don't show enough emotion.
It looks like a spinning track.
Don't go by the toss. But what does happen is that the heat is so much that the team fielding first gets affected by it, and that affects their batting. Also, the pitch does get 10 to 20% harder to bat on.
