We need to look at the wicket. We brought him out as an option. We need to decide which way to go. Whether to play Nicky or him, or both of them. |
We needed one good partnership in our top five. It was a definitely gettable total. Polly and AB showed what was needed. |
We needed one partnership in the top five. One decent partnership would have got us home. |
We never really got a reason from the umpires, I think that was probably the most frustrating part. |
We thought after having gone through their top order twice in Centurion and with the moisture in the wicket here, we backed ourselves to get a big chunk in their batting order. |
We want to keep the momentum we picked up with that win over Australia. |
We?re 1-0 up in the series. We were forced into being defensive and getting through this game and that?s what we did. |
We're disappointed we lost but we're going to have to pick ourselves up again. |
We've always wanted to play positive, winning cricket, and if we can win this series, it means we can put a tick against this summer. |
We've lost our real, out-and-out strike bowler but then again, it's an opportunity for someone else to take their chance. We'll look at the wicket in Sydney and decide - we've been calm on tour so far and we'll continue to be. |
We've made a number of releases on the subject and if it happens again how we react will be another thing. |
We've made a number of releases on the subject, and if it happens again, how we react will be another thing. If it's still going on at grounds, then we're going to be very disappointed and unhappy about it. But since Sydney we haven't had too many problems on the field, so we'll take each game as it goes. |
What we are trying to do against them at the moment does not work and we'll have to arrive with a new game plan. |
What's disappointing is that we had opportunities to win the game. |
What's disappointing is that we had opportunities to win the game. But their batsmen made the most of their opportunities and credit to them. It took nine days of Test cricket for someone to really win a day. And that was yesterday, which Australia won. |
