(On chasing the big target) Yes, I feel modern cricket, plus at the same point in time, we saw the way this wicket was played. Their strong attack, we knew the wickets were good. So as a bowling group, a lot of credit goes to the bowlers. They really pulled it back and didn’t let them fly with 250s, 240s, because I think in T20 cricket, those are hard to chase.
