After facing Zaheer on a bowler-friendly pitch on day-1, may be some English batsman started losing his balls thinking about facing Zaheer again with India taking a lead of 225-plus on day-3.
Actually it did more good to Zaheer than harm as he got 5 (out of 6) top-line English batsmen (except Pietersen who only got some verbal bashing from him).
Cheer up Zaks - you have been doing really well in this series - don't lose your cool.
