happier might release suppose
I suppose it does release the shackles. I think there might be one or two happier batters out there when I tell them the news.
australia game guys plans played
We had game plans in Australia and the guys played him very well.
horrendous injuries run seem
Our run of injuries has been horrendous and it just doesn't seem to be getting any better.
australia fact large left months success tour
I think his success comes down in large part to the fact that he had two months off when he left the tour of Australia because of that injury.
balls batting bowling hitting hopefully jacques problem start training
Jacques is training again, bowling and fielding. It's just batting that's still a problem and he's not hitting any balls yet. Hopefully he can start doing that by the end of the week.
build game good looking normally played playing rock scores tends time week
Kallis tends to the 'wall', he's the rock around which we normally build our innings. But Herschelle has played beautifully so far. He's been playing well all week and the good thing about Herschelle is he scores (quickly). He also tends to take out time and the game away from the opposition. We are really looking for a big partnership from them.
australia beat bowling chances dropped easy hang missed pressure quality side stuck
We thought Perth was where we could get stuck in but we missed our opportunities there. If we had scored 'big' after bowling them out for 258, we could have put Australia under pressure but we also dropped catches. They weren't easy chances but you have to hang on to them if you want to beat a quality side like Australia.
happiness happy series win
We need to win the series (against New Zealand). I won't be happy if we don't.
honest masters pressure umpires
To be blatantly honest I think they (Aussies) do put pressure on the umpires and they're masters at it.
achieve goals hoping
We didn't achieve those goals in Perth, so I'm hoping we do on day three.
bit expect helps select
When you select a spinner on a (pitch) that helps spin, you expect a little bit more than that.
batting best break certainly days easy guys local looked morning three
We are always a bat-first team, but the local guys said we could break through on the first morning and that days two and three would be best for batting. Well, we didn't make the breakthrough and batting certainly looked easy today.
either prepared spend thinking time worrying
We're prepared either way. I'm thinking they won't go with two spinners but who knows, we can't spend time worrying about their team.
available bat best bit easier familiar guess position quite selection slot
I guess it made our selection poser a little bit easier for us, but unfortunately he (Kemp) is not available for selection. Kallis will slot in at four, the world's best player, he'll bat in a position that he's quite familiar with.
