Even though we've lost this game, I think we can take away as much from this game as England can. The way we fought back over the last couple of days with our backs against the wall ... I'm very proud. |
Every individual has got to put their hand up and stand up in a game that counts... There's no other option now, if guys can't get up for a game like the one we've got coming up, then they shouldn't be playing. I wouldn't think a batting change would come from outside the squad, and to tell the truth I don't think a bowling change would either. |
Every player has had an impact at some stage, and it would be hard to leave someone out. |
Everyone I've spoken to who has played against him, including Justin Langer, has rated him very highly in one-day cricket and the four-day version back at home. |
Everything he has done and shown would indicate that, |
Full credit to England, they deserved their win. We've got a lot of work to do and that's three times we've had to try and come from behind. Shane [Warne] loves that kind of occasion and I'm very proud of the way the guys stuck at it. |
Glenn McGrath six years younger, that's exactly what he's done for us. |
Glenn's absence has thrown the attack a bit, but with Brett taking wickets early on with the new ball and Nathan Bracken and Stuart Clark stepping in and stepping up, I couldn't be much happier. |
Good luck to England, they won a huge series and they deserved what they got. We weren't quite ruthless enough at the vital times. |
He (Bracken) has got a great record up here and he will bowl well on that wicket. |
He (Symonds) is a very important member of our team with what he does with the bat and the ball and also his fielding work. |
He almost plays as two bowlers when he is in the side, so if he doesn't play then we have got to think about a different make-up to the side. If he's not 100%, he's got to be as close to 100% as possible - we can't afford for something to happen to him during the game and be left with only three bowlers so we are being extra cautious with him. |
He bowled well against them for Victoria (taking two wickets) and I am sure there will be some nerves because this is a bigger stage, |
He goes out of the game and you're playing 11 against 12. |
He got the biggest response I've ever heard on a cricket ground. |
