London:

Indian seamer S Sreesanth conceded that they are getting a taste of their own medicine after the team once again found itself at the receiving end against England on Friday.

"We used to do it to other teams, now we are going through that phase," stated Sreesanth after England piled up a mammoth 457 for three on the second day of the fourth and final Test at The Oval, following the 710, 544 and 479 they made in the three preceding Tests respectively.

Sreesanth said the hammering wasn't due to lack of effort but because England were playing like the number one Test team in the world.

"We began well but then after lunch they took charge all credit to them. It wasn't bad bowling, they kept charging at us.

"They attacked, they stayed, they kept leaving good balls, not fetching outside the off-stump."

Despite the harrowing experience, Sreesanth said he enjoyed the competition against the England batsmen.

"It was a great challenge to bowl to them. I enjoyed it and kept running in hard. It's not frustrating, it's not hard (on the body). I enjoy it. There would be niggle here and there but if you can't take it, you can't do the job.

"It's a test of strength and character and most of us do feel challenged."

The Kerala medium-pacer, who got England captain Andrew Strauss out early in the day, said Sachin Tendulkar's enthusiasm despite enduring a hard day on the field, inspires him.

"I get motivated looking at Sachin paaji. Even in the 90th over, the way he tries to stop a boundary, you get motivated by that, all I did was to listen to him. He was charged up and you get motivated."

The maverick bowler refused to concede that it was the most difficult series he was involved in. He also wasn't frustrated at the turn of fortunes, though he did believe there was enough to learn from this series.

"The biggest thing (we've learnt) is it's not easy to just walk in and win matches. That's the main learning experience for me.

"I don't think though it's one of the toughest series (I've been involved in). The one against South Africa at home in 2008 was tougher."

The series in question was the three-Test encounter against the Proteas when the visitors made successive scores of 500 and 400-plus totals.

"It's not frustrating. If you can keep them guessing, you feel you are bowling well and you get a good sleep. You learn from it and go forward.
