looks wells realising
I'm not really someone who looks forward to the gym. But I realise it's something that I have to do to perform well on the pitch.
believe bit felt gears good inside ran today twice
Yeah, I went through the gears a bit today, and I've still got a little in me. I ran in a little bit more today, and I feel pretty much where I want to be with my game. You know its going to be hot, don't you? It was alright, though, and I feel good about the day. I've been inside twice today to get a bit of ice, which felt nice, believe me.
ashley chipping devil emotional knocked lost massive needed quite release runs sat shoulder sick stage winning
When I got out and I was sat up in the dressing-room I didn't know what to do with myself. I was really sick at one stage ... and I got quite emotional at the end when Ashley knocked the winning runs off. I never thought we'd lost it because the partnerships we needed were very small, but there's always that devil on your shoulder just chipping away at you. It was a massive release when we got over the line.
period unit
We bowled well as a unit which we have been doing for a period of time,
basics bulk came complacent great happen india last match nobody side stick talented
With nobody over 30 in the last Test, it is a young side but a very talented one. A lot of great things came out of that match and we outplayed India for the bulk of it. But the one thing we can't do now is get complacent just because we competed. As long as that doesn't happen and we stick to the basics I think we'll be fine.

We are pleased with the total and the fashion we got it. I think we've had a decent day.
chase easy performance players position possible special
We're in a position where it's possible to chase 350. It's not easy by any means, and it'll take a special performance by someone, but we've got the players to do it.
dark
I don't want to be back in those dark times again. So experiencing that makes this all the sweeter.
ball bowl enjoy hitting trying
I enjoy hitting the ball and trying to bowl fast, and that is what I do.
compete hundred innings last means nice past score test
To compete you need a big score in the first innings and that means a hundred from one of our batsmen. In the last test we got starts, it will be nice if someone can go on and make a big 100 and get us past 400.
hayden head normally played takes
Hayden played well, ... He normally comes out and takes it on but he got his head down this time.
home left quickly turn whites wore
He wore his tracksuit on the first day and sometimes he would turn up in his whites and go home in them, just to get out of the place as quickly as possible. Even when we did try and make him feel at home by going out for dinner, he left early,
captain enjoyed forward job keeping looking michael side until warm
I am just keeping Michael's job warm until he comes back. I have enjoyed captaining the side but Michael is our captain and I am looking forward to him captaining again.

We say hello to each other now and we are pleasant to each other, but it doesn't go any further than that,
