Yeah, it felt like the oddball would hold a bit, but the older the ball got, it felt like a decent wicket to bat on. You had to be creative in terms of your change\u2011ups and stuff like that. Luckily, it\u2019s a big field, so as a bowler, you have a lot to play with,\u201d Jansen said to broadcasters after the first innings ended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jansen, who picked 2-33, admitted he was relieved to finally get back among the wickets. \u201cI am just happy to take a wicket after a long time. Nice feeling to contribute with the ball again for the team. Happy I put in a decent performance,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked about advice for the batting unit chasing 197, Jansen quipped, \u201cI think I should ask them for advice. No, I think the guys up top know what they have to do; they know what they do best. So let them just go out and have a good crack at it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jansen, who picked 2-33, admitted he was relieved to finally get back among the wickets. \u201cI am just happy to take a wicket after a long time.
