And I think for him to recognize that or recognize that he was on and just carry on was very impressive.
I think they were bad, but I think Shaheen Sharifredi bowled badly.
I don't think he's bowled well at all in this tournament.
He definitely doesn't look at his best.
He couldn't nail his Yorker.
He was either too full in the slot or he was too short.
So I don't think he necessarily bowled well.
And then there was probably one or two bad balls and over.
There was a few outside the off stump where, I'm sorry, if you've got the covers up in the power play, you're going to get cut for four as a spinner.
And everybody knows that.
You know, a bra in particular was really expensive, unusually expensive for him.
I think he was one of the best players
They didn't but the games that have played on here teams have won batting first and defending so you sort of India have looked at that and gone okay it might not be what we would usually do because like
Surya Kumar was just saying that there is that risk the dew might come in it might skid on it won't do as much and it didn't do do as much but they had the runs on the board it's such a vast outfield boundaries aren't that easy to come by we've seen that throughout the competition so actually having runs on the board gives you a little bit of a buffer but Pakistan should have been better because the ball was definitely doing more in the first innings it really was and we were looking at that thinking right the big threats are going to be Varun Chakravarti Khodib Yadov
Of course, and they are.
When you see them play, they dominate, don't they?
They are the best team in the world.
I think credit to...
India for adapting on that surface you know if you know players came out and saw the way Ishan Kishan batted and said okay we must get 240 here he's absolutely flying let's all go at it actually the ball was turning it was doing a little bit so the way that the batters went
wickets fell came out and said actually i'm i'm struggling out here i'm just going to knock the ball into the outfield i'm going to rotate the strike and just get six seven eight and over and then if the ball's in my spot then i then i'll hit it i think that was really impressive um but again india showing their strength their depth their adaptability yes they are the best team in in the world but having said that pakistan let them get 15 or 20 runs too many like the captain just said at the post-match interview if if i always said at the halfway stage
