\u201cWhat we saw in the first three dismissals was hard to comprehend because it wasn\u2019t a big target where you\u2019d have to look to score on every delivery. What you needed was to get a nice solid start, not necessarily a 60 or a 50 in the first six overs, but maybe even a 35-40; that\u2019s what you needed. But they were 20\/3; that\u2019s what opened the door for Pakistan, that\u2019s what got everyone nervous. If the bowling is very good and the bowler gets you out, then it\u2019s another matter. But here the batters were looking to play shots which were not required, that does cause a fair bit of nervousness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
