We came here with the intention of not losing and we attained that objective so we can't quarrel. However, it was not the type of game I was expecting as both teams played as if they did not want to win and did not want to lose.

But also Ray's empire [his nightclub] is under threat. It's losing money. I know Louis's intention in the third part of the trilogy deals with notion of empire even more fully.

We have five under-21 players so it was not big deal losing to a side like Australia. We could not take the chances that came our way.

A stable democratic government in Afghanistan is the larger strategic objective. The intention is to ensure that Afghanistan does not become in any way a haven supporting radicalism and terrorism, as it had in the Taliban time. Helping Afghanistan to consolidate would be in India's interest.

We would have liked to have got a lead going back to Waterhouse, but a happy stalemate. we have all to play for in the next round.

We worked hard on it (penalties) yesterday (Tuesday) during training as both teams are basically even.
