Shaun Pollock Quotations

Freddie is a champion from that perspective, he was really keen to go in,

We've got to come out tomorrow and give ourselves a chance to win the game.

To protect a defeat and still go down 1-0 in the series is pointless. We've got to give ourselves a chance to win.

I think we have more than enough talent. There are 13-14 match-winners in both the Test and one-day teams. They are guys that have won matches for their respective countries almost single-handedly over the years, so we definitely have enough talent to match the Aussies.

We just have to see who they put out tomorrow, but we still have to concentrate doing the job at hand well and being prepared.

If they (the umpires) can't be 100 percent conclusive on what they've seen, I don't see why they can't judge it with the third umpire.

Sport is a confidence game and no doubt a win will give us so much hope for the summer.

There's definitely something still in the pitch. As a batsman you never feel comfortable. It's difficult to play shots with any sort of certainty. From our perspective the situation can only get better the more runs we get.

We've been there before and you just need clear heads and remain calm.

We're in the hands of the weather but basically it just boils down to that we just want to give ourselves a chance of winning the game. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if we lose the series 2-0. To protect a defeat and still go 1-0 down in the series is pointless.
