Break time speech

"Gentlemen - this is it! This is your chance. This is the Lords - the Mecca of Cricket. This is your redemption time for the World Cup. Today we fight not just the English but also the Pakistani. Aleem Dar has taken it up with us - and its for us to prove that we can beat them all in one go.

This my friends is the Lords - This is the place where we have pulled off some stunners. Last time we played here - it was the rain. This time its up to us. We had the 1983 final here- we defended 183 against a stronger team. We have a 4 run buffer this time around. Most of us saw it happen - no - not you Piyush.

We can get them. The last time we played a final here - we chased 326 unbelievably. Unfortunately we had to see Dada naked after that - but thats life! Yuvraj - you were there and you did it. This time if we win - I promise you, that you wont see me naked.

Lets do this - for the million times that we were done in by the umps. For the million times that the Englishmen have appeared snooty with us. Lets do them not just with fast balls but also slow ones - slower than ever - let them get bored while waiting for them to reach. Oh Ramesh - wipe that silly grin off your face.

This is it. This is to ensure we come out winning all series on this tour. This is for us"
