"You saw the players who safeguarded the ball, there was a great deal of chance of scratching, and there was variable bob on that wicket. You can't simply play adversely on that wicket and continue to guard the ball. You must have that positive purpose when you venture out on the field. The wicket isn't just incredible. It's clearly bowler-accommodating."
