We haven't been in a series before where we have to go into a final match needing to win to draw the series, |
We just gave away too big a start, |
We just tried to pick the best team we can for this game, |
We just want a bit more of a think about it and probably a sleep on it tonight with Bracken (and) MacGill. One of those two guys will play and one won't. |
We know England probably haven't got everything in order right at the moment. They have had lots of injuries and they have a really tough program heading into the Ashes series as well. So it is the one thing we are all really looking forward to now. |
We played really well. We bit the bullet and did the hard yards on day one and after Michael Hussey and Glenn McGrath played well on day two we knew South Africa would have to bat really well to get a decent total. We bowled well, fielded well and have dominated the first two Tests to lead 1-0. |
We played very well this week, and it was a good team performance. But I'm not sure if the West Indies played as well as they can. We probably expected a little bit more. |
We said coming into this series we want to win enough games to make the finals; we have to make sure we do that now. We're 2-2 and our best cricket hasn't been on display since the first game. We've got some work to do. |
We stuck to things we knew were going to work for us and had worked in the series. Things just fell into place perfectly at the end, |
We were confident of going close -- maybe not as close as it was in the end. |
We will have a look at the way he played in the first Test, |
We will have to wait until the morning to see Shane bowl in order to determine the team. |
We would like to see the game go ahead and maybe Bangladesh having the Test status will take it forward because that's what it is all about. |
We'd like to think the game would be a sell-out. We're certainly looking forward to the game. |
We'll be able to put a stronger team on the ground and we can hopefully get back to playing the way we have been over the past few weeks. If we do, we'll be very hard to beat. |
