Australia vs Pakistan, 2nd ODI: Captains’ Corner
“Wasn’t one of our best days. You hope you get more than 160. They bowled well but we wanted to get a bigger score. We got some catchers in, tried to attack, but it wasn’t to be. I’ve had a couple of chats with [Inglis] but he’ll be fine. He has a lot of experience. [On prepping for the BGT] Good training sessions, mind now switches to the red ball.”
Pat Cummins(Australia Captain) said post-match
Obviously this win gives us confidence. We want to keep that confidence going. All bowlers had plans and they worked well. [On Rauf] Not only we enjoy it, everyone outside the country also enjoys watching him bowl.”
Mohammad Rizwan(Pakistan Captain) said post-match
