According to me, the responsibility belongs to all 11 players, not just the pacers and spinners. The batters will also have to take responsibility; you have to build good partnerships, whether in bowling or in batting.
The pitch looks a bit grassy, just like we saw in Leeds where there was grass for the first 2 days and after that it was a different pitch. We will see the final pitch to judge how it is.
We will utilize the best players we have. We will try to give confidence to those we have brought along. We have to get the work done through these players and get performances out of them, so sometimes you have to give confidence. I am not the type to continuously back someone blindly; we can also go with different combinations.
All senior players share this responsibility, it is not just Rizwan's responsibility to perform every time.
Just like we did not play up to the mark in the last match, but we sat down and had a discussion. We sat down and discussed our weak points. In a Test match or a series match, you always have a chance, things move session by session. We are forgetting those things and focusing on tomorrow's match on how we have to perform.
We took our batting deep, carrying 3 fast bowlers and 2 spinners—one Ali Usman, and the second one Salman Ali Agha whom we had to use for spin. I was also not available in the 1st match. We will try to final the playing 11 based on what is best possible according to the conditions.
I completely agree with this point that after our partnership, we lose back-to-back wickets. We will have to focus a bit more on this. There has been a lot of discussion on whether we can make changes in the batting order or if we need to be more focused. The main thing is that we have to take responsibility.
You can expect anything. Absolutely, we didn't play well in the last match, but this time you will see something different.
Yes, I did a lot of different practices yesterday, I am completely 90% fit, and I will definitely play tomorrow's match.
