It was a good wicket for the two days we played. We were fortunate enough to win the toss and post a challenging total.

It is a very good batting wicket and the outfield is fantastic. I definitely want to win the toss here.

In the end it was a good toss to lose because the wicket got better for batting on the third day.

After the tour to Pakistan, we just thought we'll take some time off and spend it here. I had hoped to spend the off-season (winters) here. But then I got in with a serious chance to play for England and my assignments with the 'A' team didn't allow me the chance to play here.

It's a long haul, but it's a good batting wicket. There is three days to go. Our job is to resurrect the ship, and hopefully if we can get a lead, we can put them in a position where they have to make some running in the game.

We were fortunate to win, but I'll take it.
