Mickey Arthur Good Quotations

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.

We have tended to dominate the last session of the first day of both previous Test matches and it's important that we follow this up now with a good first session tomorrow.

It's evenly poised at the moment. We had two good sessions after lunch and after tea but the first session tomorrow is going to be crucial.

It's a good sign for us because we've now got the runs on the board.

I've got no problem with that. It's within the spirit of the game. He thought it was an obvious deflection. There was a lot of appealing and histrionics going on and he hit it and walked. That's fine. I've never instructed a player to stand or walk, that's a personal preference. He hit it. Good catch. And off he went.
