So hopefully we can keep him under pressure. |
Some of the test matches have been closely fought but I'm not sure if South Africa have really got themselves in too many winning situations. |
Sri Lanka pushed us all the way. We've been tested and bounced back stronger every time. |
That was probably what got my back up more than anything, was to have their coach standing on the balcony smiling at me once I was dismissed. |
The 10th-wicket century partnership between Mike Hussey and Glenn McGrath probably has worked out to be the biggest factor in winning this game. |
The ball is swinging around here and it will be even more difficult for anyone to combat him and play him in these conditions. |
The batters did well, but the bowlers didn't. |
The century is a sign of Symonds' growing maturity. I thought 250 was a good total because the wicket was not easy to bat in the second innings. |
The competition we've had here has always been strong. The last series in Australia was particularly intense. |
The feeling within the team is really good, and everything we're saying is about keeping it simple, |
The fight was there but not for long enough, ... England have been on top from the moment the last ball of the first Test was bowled and now we've got no option. If the guys can't get up for a game like the one we've got coming up, then they shouldn't be playing. |
The last thing we want is our players to go into the match and get injured. The workload on some of them has been pretty tough and we are monitoring the situation. |
The older guys have been the ones who have performed the best, so how do you move them on? |
The opening bowlers in particular were fantastic. Brett Lee is a top-class bowler and it's great to have him back in the side, as well as Andrew Symonds. We have some momentum now. |
The programming has been pretty tight the last couple of years and I'm sure that quite a few players worldwide would be concerned about another tournament being included. |
