player trend
The other trend has been for the player to get injured.
areas forward good innings moving runs shape touch
We're in pretty good shape moving forward but I think we have got to get better still. There are some areas we need to touch up - we probably need 10 runs or so more each innings and more strike-power when we bowl.
captain enjoyed involves power quite rule super support
I don't support super sub rule but the power play involves some manipulation as a captain and I quite enjoyed it,
concern injury pace plenty time
His pace does make a difference. There is plenty of time but the concern is that this injury has been around for a while and there has been no real improvement.
along confidence runs somewhere
He'll give them confidence and he'll give them runs somewhere along the way in this series.
good performance
We're pretty happy, it was a good performance.
good moving shape
But all in all I think we're in pretty good shape moving forward.
function sleep
I don't function 100% because i sleep too much
arguably available best
I don't know where he's at, but he's arguably one of the world's best ever and to not have him available must be a blow.
bowlers dangerous
He is one of the world's quickest and most dangerous bowlers at the moment,
five four injuries surface underlying
four or five underlying injuries which may surface at some time, so we have to be careful.
denying formula game gets good harder tougher
We've got a good formula going and the harder it gets to score, the tougher it gets to get in the game and we're denying them really well.
keen ourselves players rather teams understanding worry
We are very keen to know about ourselves and understanding our own players rather than worry about the opponents. This is a thing which a lot other teams ignore.
gain good momentum throughout
We weren't good enough as we haven't been throughout the series. They never let us gain any momentum and we were outplayed in all departments.
