RP proves a good learner

RP admitted to being a bit nervous leading the attack at the SCG but gave a good account of himself early on. He was, however, a bit disappointed with what panned out at the end of the day. 8220;I was initially disappointed when Zaheer bhai wasn8217;t playing today. I was getting nervous as I reliased that I would be leading the attack but I had a few words with the coach and senior mates and I was ready to go,8221; he added.

RP didn8217;t try anything overtly different, keeping the ball in line and just around the off-stump and try and get the ball to swing rather than trying to hit the deck hard by seeing the bounce and carry off the wicket8212; RP8217;s four-wicket haul that happened in Sydney was a reiteration of his ability which he amply demonstrated during his tour of England last year.
