There is no doubt the rest helped me immensely, as it has done in the previous four years. People are questioning a couple of guys having a rest. We have been doing this for a long time now. |
They are the things you've got to live with and that's the risk you take every time you walk out there and every time you dive for one. You risk glory or you risk looking like a bit of a goose. |
They have good leadership from Dav. I think there are a lot of very encouraging signs for them. |
They'll come here confident they can bat for long periods against us, which a lot of teams haven't been able to do over the years. |
They'll take a lot of confidence from it, but so did we. |
This has been a hard trip and we feel a little bit under siege. England have hit us hard, and the thought has entered my head - 'What if we're the first team to lose the Ashes for such a long time?' It's new to us and it has been tough to work out how to get through it. |
To walk off with a keeping performance that, I took every chance that came my way really, that's as pleasing as anything I can do in the game of cricket. |
Tonight was brilliant, I just loved it. |
We had a bad start with our batting. Bangladesh also bowled very well. |
We have to get our priorities right. It is important that selectors, administrators, players and whoever else needs to be involved sits down and nuts that out. |
We know where we stand in this series, and we know we have a lot of hard work ahead of us. |
We made a bad start with our bowling, but got it right after the first session. |
We'll be fine. It won't affect the way we prepare for a Test match. |
We're certainly under pressure again. England have played consistent cricket for two days in this match and have certainly played more consistent cricket than us in the series. That sees us in another challenging position that we'll have to sit down and think about it. |
We're not bowling consistently so we can build up pressure. We've been asking ourselves why we’re not playing well, but we know it can turn around. |
