Greg Shipperd Quotations

We're expecting Brad to have a really good crack at it. I'm sure his mind will be where it needs to be.

We've taken some bold decisions at selection, but we're comfortable with them. I think everyone will give a good account of themselves.

Really I want the players to do it for themselves and really take responsibility for getting the job done and I'm confident they can do that.

We've been really consistent across the season, we haven't played too many bad games, everyone has chipped in at some stage.

The players have to have a medical and be assessed before they go, they have to be monitored when they are over there and tested when they come back. It's building a history of how does a player leave, how does he come back. But I don't have a great concern with them other than they come back weary, mentally weary from the game.

We went too hard, too early. The last two games haven't gone according to plan.

I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat hoping all of those blokes come back healthy. It is a physical challenge for them to present, year after year, without the appropriate rest and recovery.

He's swung the ball, taken wickets consistently, and been a popular member of the team. We wish him a swift recovery, but know that Wise will be a handy replacement should he get the nod in the final XI.
