I also decided to take a few chances when the balls were pitched short. Luckily it worked, even though one or two shots went flying over the wicketkeeper's head. When you get runs against weaker countries you aren't always that appreciative but when you make runs against the Aussies it feels really good. |
I believe that they have called up a couple of, what do they call them? Ashes rejects, or something like that. I actually haven't even looked at the squad. |
I don't need to tell the Australians (anything). |
I hope our public give them a bit of stick because we've taken a serious amount. |
I'm at a loss for words. That is my best moment in cricket by far. |
If he's going to come out and expect half-volleys ? well, if I got hit on the head and went to bat and expected half volleys, then I shouldn't be playing Test cricket. If there's a Test match to win, and we've got to win it bowling short balls at him, then so be it. I don't think he'd expect us to lay off. |
If there's a Test match up for grabs and we've got to win it by bowling short balls at him, so be it. |
In the past our crowds haven't been too great with them but trust me, we're not going to sit back and say, shame, poor things'. |
It was something special. Test cricket is a different ball game but I really enjoyed it and hopefully we can take some of that momentum into the Tests. |
It's one of my best moments in cricket. We always knew we'd be up against it. We tried to keep it simple, we knew we had to get a good start and Herschelle and Graeme (Smith) did fantastically well. |
Obviously it's not the majority of the crowd. It's the guys who have had too much liquor. So we understand it's difficult to control. But we've made our point. |
On the last tour we went to Holland after winning at Lord's and we celebrated for a while. The trip did get a bit out of hand - and it had got out of hand the last two times we have been. |
The Australian press are trying to say ex-pat South Africans are the culprits. |
There are some cracks, and that should make the ball do things. |
We found out what it is like to dominate most of a match, yet still lose 1-0. We feel great about our play, but the guys are pretty frustrated. |
