I think after the Ashes series Australia realized they were starting to relax a bit and they needed to pick their game up a little bit more so they were pretty tough this series,
I have served my time as the captain and would like to pass the mantle on to another person. I would fully support my replacement, and work towards the good of the team.
It's great to see Wavell achieving his milestone, I congratulate as captain and on behalf of the entire team.
There will always be pressure in this job, but someone has to do it.
He's been doing a lot of one-on-one sessions with the players, giving them advice. He's been trying hard. He's been doing a lot of work and we've gone a long way. We're very close. We won the Champions Trophy with the same team. If we get it right we can win games.
He looks pretty fit and sharp and he is one of the guys we have to look out for in this series.
It was one of those wickets where, if you had the opportunity to get in, you could be good. It wasn't easy to get in but once you got there you could score runs. Most of our batters didn't have a chance to get in and carry on and get decent scores.
There's always pressure there. It probably affected my game in Australia. Hopefully I can get over it now and do well on this tour.
Our young guys have learnt a lot from this tour. I hope that we can take it on when we get home and improve our cricket.
It's a good experience, fast-paced game. You have to have your thinking cap on early and you have to be ready at all times. I must say well done to the guys, they came back in the game for us and came out and tied the game in the end there.
He's definitely not going to make it tomorrow.
It's a bit chilly at the moment but hopefully the sun will come out and warm things up a bit. That would be good for us.
Normally the wicket has a little bit in the morning so we'll have a go at them first. We have some good pace so we want to let them loose.
Brian's one of the guys who go out there and probably make a big 100. We're going to give him every support and hopefully he's going to come back to form.
