Intro:
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haqand his Sri Lankan counterpart Angelo Mathews reflect on the third Test in Kandy on Tuesday, won by Pakistan by seven wickets to complete a 2-1 series victory.Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan captain (on the 2-1 series win):
"Yeah, of course, I have been to Sri Lanka for the last three series and we just lost all three. After that it is really dream to win a series here in Sri Lanka, maybe my last series in Sri Lanka. So great feeling, especially the way in which we fought in the two Test matches. The first one in three-and-a-half days, great win and last one, chasing a big target on the fourth and fifth day, I think it's a great achievement."
SOUNDBITE (English) Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan captain (on the batting of Younis Khan):
"Yeah, before the start of this Test match somebody asked me about Younis Khan that he is your main player and he is not getting runs, at that time I really replied that something big is just around the corner and that's what he just proved. Because he just plays Test cricket every innings like the same, he never felt pressure that it's a fourth inning... just go there do his basics, just build innings and play according to the situation and that's what he did with, you could say, without any pressure. That makes him special, even in the third and fourth innings and I think he was the one that just won this Test match for Pakistan. Simply, I have seen a lot of knocks from him like that. He is such a such a great player and competitor and especially in these sort of situations where the team really needs him, he always just stands up and just performs for Pakistan."
