“Wicket was on the drier side. I have too much respect for him to celebrate when I get him out (on Dhoni). One of the advantages of playing a day game is that the square is quite rough. The ball starts so to reverse. My first time was to reverse. It's all about the feel of that delivery (slower). The more you bowl, the better you get the CSK innings.
