against cricket means tick winning
We've always wanted to play positive, winning cricket, and if we can win this series, it means we can put a tick against this summer.
accept cannot people pressure team winning
There is a lot of pressure on them. They have been an established team winning everything for so long that people cannot accept that things are not going so well any longer.
best chance guys winning
It's up to the selectors but we've got to go with guys who will give us the best chance of winning the game.
bit carried celebrate early enjoy guys obviously tonight winning
The guys will obviously celebrate a bit tonight because it's important to enjoy winning but we are not going to get carried away, it's still very early in the series.
contribute involved last matches nice players seen team winning
The last two matches have seen the whole team involved and it's nice to have a team where all the players contribute to winning the game.
handled overall pressure
Overall I feel I handled the pressure well.
ball basics work
Our basics didn't work for us today. We weren't right with the bat, the ball or in the field.
allowed sit
I think what I feel and what I'm allowed to say are two different things, so I think I'm just going to sit on the fence.
ball dangerous
I think at the WACA the new ball is going to be the most dangerous part of batting.
against age best bowlers games six strong terms today top
I think it was a very strong performance. The top six we had is very young in terms of age and games and to go up against some of the best bowlers in the world and to play the way we did today showed a lot of character.
bit pressure team
I think that they were the team that were choking, if that's the word, under pressure a little bit at the back end.
ball hard pitch provided worked
I think everyone who had the ball really worked hard today, I don't think the pitch provided a lot for anyone,
abuse bit cop expected guys needed pushing upset
Our guys are pretty upset about it, something needed to be done. We expected to cop a bit of abuse but this was pushing the limits.
looks medical staff wait
It doesn't look good. It looks like he'll be going home, but I'll wait for the medical staff to make that announcement.
