00:00When you picked the five-wicket Hall and Siraj gave you the ball to show it around the crowd,

00:04you were pretty much not happy around it.

00:06But was it the fact that the last partnership was happening between Brydon Kars and the last Jimmy Smith?

00:13What was the reaction after getting the five-ball?

00:16No, sir, the headline is not. The reality is I was tired.

00:19So there is no happiness or anything.

00:22I was just, you bowl, I had a long time on the field and you bowl, so sometimes you get tired.

00:27So I was not, and I'm not 21, 22, where I'll jump around and I usually am not like that.

00:34But yeah, I was happy that I contributed.

00:36But then other than that, it was just that I was wanting to go back to my mark and bowl the next ball.

00:43The fifth, first of all, well-balled.

00:47Throughout this series, we have seen overt rate has been pretty poor from both the teams today.

00:52We have lost around 15 overs or so.

00:54And since in the past, we have seen teams got penalized, WTC points got deducted.

01:00So what is your take on this and how can overt rate can be improved?

01:05See, I don't know how can I help with that.

01:08But yeah, it's hot out there.

01:10It's tough on the bowlers and, you know, sometimes you have to take your time

01:13because you don't want your quality to be compromised.

01:16You don't want to be too rushed as well.

01:17So I think there are new rules as well that, you know, you have to start your over before 60 seconds.

01:21So I think that eventually will help.

01:23But sometimes the weather has to be taken into account that we are human beings as well.

01:28We also get tired.

01:29We take time to move around.

01:31And that's how it is.

01:33So hopefully, I think that will help.

01:34And eventually, when the weather is a little friendly, it won't affect that much.

01:38And you'll be able to get more over it.

01:43Boom, yesterday, Nitesh said that they just blindly follow what you say,

01:47how you want to carry the bowling attack in the field.

01:51He said just the plan is simple.

01:53Whatever Boom Bhai says, we do it.

01:56So how do you prepare yourself since you are not going to play all the matches?

02:01How do you mentor these guys so that they can take care of themselves when you're not playing?

02:06Sir, first, that answer is a lie.

02:08He's not asked me anything.

02:09But the other thing is that these youngsters are very confident.

02:13And they don't need a lot of over-guidance or over-information.

02:17Whenever, in whatever capacity they need me, I'm right there to help them out.

02:22And I share my experiences, what I learned in the previous tours over here.

02:26So that's how, as simple as I'm trying to keep them.

02:29I'm not trying to jump in into every conversation, give them too much information,

02:34try to tell them that do things like I do.

02:37Because that's not how it will work.

02:39Because my technique is different.

02:40My way of bowling is different.

02:41And my way of handling things would be different.

02:44And so it will be different for them.

02:46But if anything they require or any assistance they require,

02:50I try to help to the best of my capacity.

02:52Bumrra, what do you think that today, when you get down on the streets,

02:56after all you've already achieved, you have a distance between number one and number two.

03:02In the ICC rankings, there are also some of the average.

03:04Now, you can judge how you get down, how you get down, how you perform, how you do it,

03:10how you do it, how you do it, how you do it, how you do it, how you do it, how you do it.

03:12And what do you think about all of these things?

03:15And what do you think about the Honours Board?

03:19Do you think that the feeling of missing out is that if I didn't have a name on this board,

03:23then the rest of the stats will be a little bit affected.

03:27Or do you think that it's not that individual battles,

03:29I think that it's not that individual battles in India has a lot of meaning,

03:31but the Honours Board is okay.

03:32The Honours Board is a good thing, but sir, I know that there will be issues and discussions.

03:38Look, there are so many cameras here, we practice cameras,

03:42views, subscribers, there is a period of time.

03:45So, I know that everyone wants to talk to me,

03:48but I don't have any questions in my hand.

03:50Okay, people are spending money, I think it's a good thing.

03:53They will give me a few times when I get viewership,

03:57but I don't think about all of these things.

03:59For me, the last time I was the most memorable test match in England,

04:02when I and Shami had a match with the batting.

04:05So, obviously, memories will also be remembered.

04:07The Honours Board is a good thing,

04:09when my son is older, I can tell him that it's my name on the Honours Board,

04:12and there are many other places.

04:14But, memories will still be remembered.

04:16In that match, I was three or four wicket,

04:18but that memory was very special for me,

04:21because we went back to the game,

04:23and we had all out in 60 hours.

04:25So, for me, the memories are more important.

04:27Obviously, when I play for India,

04:29I want to contribute as much as I can,

04:31and when you do it,

04:33you feel good that you put your team in a good position.

04:36So, my thought process is the same.

04:38But, that's the answer to the question that you've already judged.

04:44Judges will have happened,

04:45and when you wear this jersey, you will be judged.

04:46Because, every cricketer goes through that.

04:49That, when I play on TV, you will be judged.

04:53And, obviously, that's how a part and parcel of professional sport is,

04:58that you'll always be judged by your performances,

05:00and obviously, you'll always be judged day in and day out.

05:03Even if, when Sachin Sir played 200 test matches,

05:06he was also still judged.

05:08Somebody's wife is calling, so...

05:10But, I'll not pick it up.

05:12Sorry.

05:13I just left it that way.

05:15So, yeah.

05:17So, everybody judges.

05:19And I forgot the question, but, yes, that's how it is.

05:22Professional sport is like that.

05:24Just with two questions.

05:27First, yesterday, you bowled so well, but only got one wicket.

05:31Edges fell short.

05:33What adjustment did you make from yesterday to today?

05:37And through the day yesterday, was it to, like,

05:39hit the stumps more often and that?

05:41The second question is, when you guys got the ball changed today,

05:45the 91st over, how much older did that ball that you got as a change look?

05:51Was it, like, a like-for-like replacement?

05:56How does it happen if, let's say, you're playing in India,

06:00do you, if there's a 10-over ball getting changed,

06:03do you get those, do you get a ball that is 10-over old?

06:06Because this one, even Stuart Bordstedt said that it looked like

06:10about 20 overs old on air.

06:12So, what...

06:13Yeah, obviously, see, there were not many technical changes

06:16that I made from yesterday.

06:17Obviously, the wicket was a little on the slower side,

06:19and sometimes the edges don't carry.

06:21But we always knew that when the wicket is softer,

06:26with the heat going on, the wicket will get faster,

06:28and the wicket did quicken up a little bit.

06:31So, yeah, nothing massively that I changed.

06:34Yes, obviously, you want to hit the top of off-stump

06:37in test cricket, the rule doesn't change,

06:38and you try to swing the ball and you try to nip the ball.

06:41That's common, you know, in test cricket, that's how it is.

06:45And the ball changes, I don't really control that.

06:48Obviously, I don't want to lose out on money because I work very hard

06:51and play a bowl a lot of overs, so I don't want to say any controversial statements

06:55and get my match fees deducted.

06:56But we were bowling with the ball that we were given, and that's how it is,

07:01that we can't change it, we can't fight it.

07:03Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes you get a bad ball.

07:05That's how it is.

07:07Jasper, sort of two parts to the question.

07:10One is, you've been able to move the ball both up and down the slope,

07:14and there's so much written about the different aspects of your action,

07:18risk, release point, all that sort of stuff.

07:20What is it specifically that you think enables you to do that?

07:24And at what point in your career did you feel you were able to absolutely master that kind of control?

07:30Master is something very difficult, but in 2018 when I had come here,

07:34the Duke ball was consistently swinging, and I was bowling the outswinger,

07:39but I consistently started bowling it here.

07:43The ball was moving around a lot more.

07:44So at that moment I felt a lot more comfortable starting to use both in-swing and out-swing,

07:50because I always felt that I've only got one career and I should be able to do everything.

07:54I wanted to learn everything, and that is still my motivation.

07:57That, you know, if I have a lot of different armories up my sleeve,

08:01then in different conditions I can contribute more and I have answers for every different kind of condition.

08:06So all of these things were there. I'm still trying to add a few more things,

08:10but once I am able to get that, then I'll be able to explain it a little more.

08:15What haven't you mastered?

08:16There are a few things, but Joe is standing there, so he should not listen to all of these things.

08:21But in all fairness, you know, different conditions, different balls sometimes.

08:26How do you use it to different advantages?

08:28So all of those things.

08:30When you came to the last time, how many pitches are different from the last time?

08:38And the other thing, when you're talking about the slope,

08:40how difficult it is and how easy it is to do balling?

08:44When I played the last time, I tried to consider the slope more.

08:49That it will be like that, it will be like that, it will be like that, it will be like that,

08:54and there will be a lot of movement, and there will be no movement.

08:55After that, I learned my lesson in second inning,

08:59that the slope is a little different from the ground,

09:02and that I will put it in the body.

09:03And the one that comes to my skill, I will put it in consideration,

09:07and that will be the benefit of it.

09:08So I learned from that experience, I learned from the slope and I will not go into consideration,

09:14or I will not go into consideration, that it will be like that.

09:16Basically, I learned from the test cricket that I have worked on,

09:19and I learned from the strength and skill to use it in my best capacity.

09:25How much is the pitch different from the pitch?

09:27I think the ball is different from the pitch.

09:29Because when I played here, the ball was not changing here.

09:33The ball was hard for a long time.

09:35Now, obviously, it is dry summer, the wickets are hard.

09:38So maybe the ball is soft from it.

09:40But there are a lot of changes in it,

09:42that the Duke ball, I don't remember in my last two memories,

09:45that we have never changed the ball.

09:48So there is a little difference here.

09:50It is a hard ball game.

09:51When the ball is hard, there is a little movement here.

09:54But the ball is soft here,

09:55it becomes beneficial for the batting.

09:58So this is a little difference between last and this game.
