Mickey Arthur Pressure Quotations

I thought Australia took the initiative early today and held the sway for the day. I guess, the pressure gave way today.

To be blatantly honest I think they (Aussies) do put pressure on the umpires and they're masters at it.

We thought Perth was where we could get stuck in but we missed our opportunities there. If we had scored 'big' after bowling them out for 258, we could have put Australia under pressure but we also dropped catches. They weren't easy chances but you have to hang on to them if you want to beat a quality side like Australia.

It's going to be a tough old day. Hopefully we will have absorbed the pressure and have been in a position to apply it.

If I had a guy like him I would also expect him to put pressure on. I think the umpires have got it quite right today.
