"Nothing like that. I focus on lines and lengths. Yes, very good balls don't get you wickets and bad balls get you wickets sometimes. It happens. I believe in sticking to the basics and have the passion to do well. Have the right seam position and does not matter what the wicket is. The seam in the air helps. 

"Yes, when the game starts, you don't know the conditions and then after an over you get to know them. It's important to pass on the message to the youngsters as they are willing to learn you see. I am happy with my performance."
