England are doing to us what we've always done to other sides,

Probably that was my biggest mistake. You sort of think that no one has got 200.
came chance game keeping performance pleasing took walk
To walk off with a keeping performance that, I took every chance that came my way really, that's as pleasing as anything I can do in the game of cricket.
certainly consistent cricket days england match played position pressure sees sit
We're certainly under pressure again. England have played consistent cricket for two days in this match and have certainly played more consistent cricket than us in the series. That sees us in another challenging position that we'll have to sit down and think about it.

I think people questioned whether we were even interested in trying to win this, you know, maybe focusing too much on the World Cup.

I thought Matthew Hayden got it, my gut feel was that it was there.
england momentum
But we'll keep on. There's a long way to go but all the momentum is with England at the moment.

But Test matches generally the quality wins out over time and they have great depth in quality and we feel like we have got it (as well), they will definitely put up a fight I am sure.

Ricky has been an outstanding captain up to this point and will continue to be so,

difficult
So it's been very difficult for Ricky, I think.
attributes cricket good helps mind ricky sure wonderful
Shane is a wonderful cricketer and I'm sure he has all the attributes of a good captain. He has a good cricket mind and he helps Ricky a lot.

Man for man, South Africa just out-bowled, out-batted and out-fielded us. We just didn't deliver today.
bad start
We made a bad start with our bowling, but got it right after the first session.
