Craig Wright Against Quotations

I know I've taken a lot from it as captain, ... Even when you're losing, it still toughens you up. You learn how to cope with different and difficult situations and we've done well to keep our spirits high. These guys have worked hard. They've had a chance to watch good players every week and learn from them. Take our game against Warwickshire last week. It wasn't enjoyable to watch Nick Knight build up an innings against us but the likes of Omer Hussain and Qasim Sheikh got a lesson in how to go about that. We've a lot of good young players coming through. We've taken this experience and learned from it and now we have to put it into practice in the future.

With due respect to the counties, it's hard to market 18 games against them a season,

The best we can do is beat Ireland convincingly in Aberdeen and hope that the weather also affects Ireland's match against Holland.

It was frustrating, but there is nothing to be gained from moping. Our best retort is to go out against Ireland and perform to our capabilities. If that happens, we give ourselves a chance.
