England captain Alastair Cook praised his bowlers for an outstanding performance that helped the team win the third Test, says a report in The Guardian.
"We've taken what we've been doing in the nets out into the middle and started to perform close to our potential. In this game our bowlers have been outstanding. To restrict India to 316 in the first innings on that wicket was a great effort and then yesterday, when they were 86-0, to put in a session like we did was highly skilful bowling," he said.
The focus will now shift to Nagpur, the venue for the third Test. “Clearly I'd take a draw now if someone offered it to me, but we can't go into the game with that mentality. We have to go in with the same approach we've had for these last two games," Cook said.
On the next match he said, “The job's not done. It would be nice if we were going home tomorrow and we could all be smiling. But it's not done, and we can't get carried away."
Meanwhile, The Indian Express report says that Cook praised England's coaching staff. Cook said the vast knowledge of spin bowling consultant Mushtaq Ahmed and head coach Andy Flower have helped a lot.
"We're very lucky that we have got people like Mushy (bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed). He's experienced in these conditions having grown up in Pakistan, playing in these conditions all the time," said Cook.
"His nuggets of advice, which you can only get from experience. He works very hard. And we've got Andy, how he batted here. So, two very good people. These are very important wins. We had a tough 2012. The way we quickly managed to rectify few of our problems, it's a credit to our coaching staff and the leadership of Andy Flower. Also to the players as well, especially on this tour. A new captain, things are slightly different. I can't praise them enough. Unfortunately, the job's not done yet," he added.
