We knew before coming into the game that it is going to be a turner, they have been asking for it and there was a lot of talk in the dressing room as well, so wasn't surprised. We just tried to go out there and play our band of cricket, happy that it came off," Harry Brooks was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
