He's swung the ball, taken wickets consistently, and been a popular member of the team. We wish him a swift recovery, but know that Wise will be a handy replacement should he get the nod in the final XI. |
I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat hoping all of those blokes come back healthy. It is a physical challenge for them to present, year after year, without the appropriate rest and recovery. |
Really I want the players to do it for themselves and really take responsibility for getting the job done and I'm confident they can do that. |
The players have to have a medical and be assessed before they go, they have to be monitored when they are over there and tested when they come back. It's building a history of how does a player leave, how does he come back. But I don't have a great concern with them other than they come back weary, mentally weary from the game. |
We went too hard, too early. The last two games haven't gone according to plan. |
We're expecting Brad to have a really good crack at it. I'm sure his mind will be where it needs to be. |
We've been really consistent across the season, we haven't played too many bad games, everyone has chipped in at some stage. |
We've taken some bold decisions at selection, but we're comfortable with them. I think everyone will give a good account of themselves. |
