It is disappointing to lose after playing well throughout
We really lost out for playing 5-10 bad overs
The openers didnt get going and we started the charge just a little
latee
People like me should have carried on the charge but we didnt, we
are disappointed we couldnt win it for Anshu

Gibbs, and it is Gibbs

There was some moisture in the wicekt, Venkatesh Prasad bowled very
well
We lost a few qiuck wickets but me and Hansie hung around and we
got a decent score
I wasnt 100% sure of being able to play today, the physio has been
very helpful in making me match fit
It is a great team effort
I had something to drink at lunchtime and that did something so I
went off durig the Indian innings

I'm not very happy, we've lost the match, I was disappointed, I
threw away the wicket
Everyone chipped in, it was a team effort, I'd like to perform
