It would have been good to try Jessy bowl a few to help the pacers to recharge their batteries and also give variation-maybe Vettori should look at that angle.You are a hard trier and we see how much effort you put in. But just one alone cant make the difference-its a team effort as Indians showed-Good luck in the next innings-and by the way losing to a strong side is as good as a win.<BR/>ashAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460477128499723846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-9768316527047130642009-04-05T09:28:00.000+01:002009-04-05T09:28:00.000+01:00U bowled well today but it was all batsmen's parad...U bowled well today but it was all batsmen's paradise I think and I am really disappointed with this expected to see some seaming wickets at Newzeland( after Long Indian season home) with loads of swing but to my dismay all wickets were batting pitches........:O(<BR/><BR/>The special incutter you bowled today it was superb Awesome How did u get to do it was it an uneven surface or is there any trick..??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465975578717971973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-43069622480218302262009-04-05T08:05:00.000+01:002009-04-05T08:05:00.000+01:00hey Ian,I was wondering if you were actually writi...hey Ian,<BR/>I was wondering if you were actually writing the blog urself or hired some pr agency or a publicist to do the dirty work for you?<BR/>If you are actually doing it urself, I have HUGE respect and LOVE for you !!!<BR/>I would be very very pleased (and am sure other fans too would be) to listen to ur podcasts or watch some vids shot by you capturing some of ur and ur team mates' comments.

Liked you description about bowling into the wind - 'it is more about muscling it there rather than using rhythm to get the ball down the other end'. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations on 100 test runs and your highest test score. This test has been a mixed bag for you so far. I hope your personal luck will continue and you will grab a few wickets - even a 5-for. Good luck mate.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>SalilSalilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102199027422759066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-48878301721116130342009-04-04T21:52:00.000+01:002009-04-04T21:52:00.000+01:00You are absolutely right when time is against you ...You are absolutely right when time is against you nothing goes right, but still you tried great work.
