COMMENTS BY BOTH TEAM CAPTAINS ALONG WITH MAN OF THE MATCH/SERIES
Andrew Strauss (Captain of England): “I’m surprised we didn’t get bigger scores but you have to credit Pakistan. When they were ahead, they didn’t allow us to come back. We’re a lot better at the end of the 3rd Test, than at the start of the first. Test cricket is difficult by its nature. I’ve got great faith in our players but this is an eye opener. There were some fantastic performances by some of the guys. We’ve got a lot of cricket coming up. There will be accusations flying about. I’ve got to try be ready for the Sri Lanka series. We like to thank our supporters.”
Misbah-ul-Haq (Captain of Pakistan): ”I just can’t explain this in words. Getting out for 99, nobody thought we could come back. Azhar’s innings was the big difference. Gul is a wonderful match-winning bowler too. We should now learn to play well outside Asia and this team can do that. I think Mohsin Khan’s done a wonderful job (as coach). I think this crowd has proved that they like Test cricket.”
Azhar Ali (Man Of The Match): ”Whjen you score when the team wins, it’s very satisfactory. I want to play more such match-winning innings. It’s a great achievement for us.”
Saeed Ajmal (Man Of The Series): “Rehman’s bowling very well with me. I’m a happy guy, I enjoy my cricket.”
