Siddhesh Lad is having a chat with Simon Doull. Says that to make his debut in on the games this season was a great moment for him after missing the first four seasons. Says that being with the team has taught him a lot, mainly their work ethics. Feels that the pitch will do something in the first innings but then dew will make it easier to bat on in the second.
