bowlers good job post rest steadily total win
It was a really good win for us. We batted steadily enough to post a good total and then Brett and the rest of the bowlers did a good job for us.
hall takes unlucky
Hall would be unlucky but an all rounder takes out an all rounder.
bowlers roll
I think it's a wicket the batsmen would like to roll up and keep, but the bowlers would like to bury.
bowls difficult handle
He is difficult to handle when he bowls like that.
happen moan sit
It's not our place to sit here and moan and groan about those things. We've just got to go out and make things happen for us.
ahead both creating game hard major mean nations playing teams
The game is about creating pressure. He's probably come out ahead in this game. But the whole series, two major nations competing, we've come here and we mean business. Both teams are playing the game very hard and very tough.
build team
I look at it differently. You can't just build a team overnight.
cup experiment five might next playing six
The ICC might not be too happy, but I think the experiment should end now. If we're not going to be playing with super-subs in the World Cup next year, why should we keep playing with them for the next five or six games?
batter key point side view
I'm a key batter in the side more than anything else, and from my point of view that's disappointing, I've got a lot of starts.
andrew bowling hall
If Pollock doesn't play, Andrew Hall has been bowling superbly in the one-day series.
felt session
(Kallis) said that he got through yesterday's session fine. He felt it with one or two shots, cross-bat shots.
bit chasing surreal
Chasing 434 is a bit surreal for us. But it was an unbelievable wicket and the batsmen were all able to play their shots.
batting cricket drawing itself morning needs positive team teams
Everyone in the whole team wanted to be positive this morning and go for a win. Cricket itself needs positive games. It doesn't need teams batting out and drawing games.
captain experience facets game help impart jacques knowledge talent vice welcome
The appointment of Jacques as vice captain is most welcome because he has so much talent and experience to impart to the other players. His knowledge of all facets of the game will help my captaincy considerably.
