If youcompare the two games, you’d wonder if we were playing on thesame wicket. "We did take a bit of risk with Mishra coming inreplacing Binny because we were one batsman short. We realiseon a wicket like this, we needed an extra bowler and aleg-spinner can give you wickets. It paid off well. Mishrabowled exceedingly well, he was able to put pressure and hewas well supported by Ashwin. It’s fantastic effort by both ofthem."
