Player of the Match
Aamer Jamal | Pakistan
I waited so long to get to this stage (on his Test debut for Pakistan). First of all, I would like to congratulate the team Australia, they’ve been outstanding in all three departments – batting, bowling, and fielding.
Thanks to everyone who came here to watch us in these games. My feelings were incredible, I was over the moon. Performing in front of this great (Australian) side wasn’t easy for me but I stuck to my basics and stuck to my passion, that’s why I got success.
(On his batting) I loved every moment, I knew they were coming hard at us, I was trying not to give up.
I was enjoying every single ball whatever was coming towards me. We have got Mir Hamza, Shaheen Afridi, and Hasan Ali as well, they are very good new-ball operators. I will stick to first or second chances.
