Dan was very excited about the news. She is really happy for me to have come this far. |
Definitely, it's got me to where I am and I'm going to be playing my game on Boxing Day. I'm just going to have heaps of fun with it. |
He's a fantastic player and he's someone that I've looked up to over the years as well. I can't wait to be up the other end with him and see how he goes about things. |
Hopefully we can just bat the once, get a massive score and put pressure on the second innings. |
I am behind Australia's best opening partnership of all time, so I have to bide my time for opportunities to come up. It would be a dream come true to play a revenge Ashes series this summer. |
I'll just be working twice as hard. I've just got to go out and do my business and hopefully I can't be ignored. I suppose the more runs you score the more the pressure mounts. |
It looks like the wickets are playing pretty well and are similar to here by the looks of things, so it should be good. |
Obviously my preference is to open the batting but I just hope I'm not seen by people as purely an opener. When I play overseas I rarely open the batting. I batted number four for Yorkshire for most of the season and, in one-day games, I often move into number three ... if the selectors can't find a place for me as an opener, that's fine, I'll take any opportunity in the order. |
