"It's terrific as cricketers we get to go to different nations and play in different conditions. Otherwise, it is a bit different notions. It's so different to wickets we get in Australia. It's so enjoyable, even if it hits your glove it's still enjoyable. It's just good fun," Henriques told reporters at the press conference after fourth day's play here.
"It's very frustrating when you get out. Very frustrating but you have to enjoy. That is the difference. I think it's a terrific day that cricket being such a world game that has so many different tough conditions," said Henriques, who was holding fort on 75 with Nathan Lyon for the last wicket.
Asked further about the wicket, Henriques, who had played in the IPL for Delhi Daredevils, said it was difficult to bat on and some of his team-mates got out at superb deliveries which they could not do much to fend off.
"I think the bounce was uneven and I had a couple of balls hit my gloves in the early part of innings and I was lucky enough that those balls went straight to ground. Sometime luck went my way today. It is tough wicket to start on especially against spin," he said.
