Bangalore: Aussie speedster Mitchell Johnson said he was really fired up after getting his first wicket that of Virender Sehwag even though he was pretty nervous before bowling to the famed Indian batting line-up.
"First up I was really nervous yesterday and a little bit in the morning. But just getting my first wicket fired me up. I think we (Aussie bowlers) were too aggressive with the new ball at the start of the Indian innings and with the second new ball today, we were pushing a bit too hard," Johnson, who claimed four prized wickets of Sachin Tendulkar, V V S Laxman and Sourav Ganguly apart from Sehwag, told reporters after the match on Saturday.
"It is always good to get wickets in India as there is hardly any assistance to fast bowlers here and I am satisfied with my first Test performance in India," he added.
Confidently admitting that they have a very good chance of winning the Test despite a rear-guard action by the Indian lower order batsmen late in the evening, Johnson said, they would go all out for a win.
