Honestly speaking, I blame myself mostly for us losing that game. It (cricket) is not an individual sport but one individual could cause the downfall of a unit and hopefully in future that won't happen again. |
How the game (2nd ODI) was going it was required for someone to stop the flow of wickets that the opposition was getting so I had to decide what role was best for the team so that was the role I took up to stop the flow of wickets. |
I feel good, I'm getting into my game, obviously the first two games wasn't the best but it became a mental issue for me, I feel I can carry on and contribute to the team in a positive way. |
It was a bit of frustration, it was very disappointing to lose the skipper at that point in time, somehow I just felt like today would have been his day to get some runs but that's how cricket goes sometimes, you have to take some hard knocks. |

It worked for the most part of the innings until I got out, I think about the team so hopefully in the next game I could continue the form and make a big one for the team. |
It would be a lovely way to finish the tour, to carry on and make a big one for the team, I just need to be a bit more patient. |
Some of the balls were not coming through, so you just have to wait for the bad ball. |
That is cricket. The selectors looked at the best balanced team to go into the game. You've got to be patient. |
We just can't keep saying it's a learning process, we have to get some wins, I think it is on the mental side, we need to think harder and read the game a bit more. |
We were chasing a rather big total (3rd ODI) and we thought the best way to get the runs was to be positive, not reckless but to play a few shots, set the bowlers off and hopefully things would be better for us. |
