Bangladesh is underrated, but the team came out and stood up to us.
ashes bit england entered hard head hit lose team tough trip work
This has been a hard trip and we feel a little bit under siege. England have hit us hard, and the thought has entered my head - 'What if we're the first team to lose the Ashes for such a long time?' It's new to us and it has been tough to work out how to get through it.
good handy ourselves
It is going to be a very good match. (Although) they have a pretty handy lead, we are getting ourselves back into the match.
balls certainly england four plan runs score secret thirty
I was certainly too watchful and negative. Thirty balls for four runs for me is not right. I should have been able to score more off 30 balls. There is no secret to the plan England have had for me and they have executed it better than I have executed my response.

coming doubt keeps loves wants
He just keeps coming back, so I've got no doubt he'll play as long as he wants and he's got the hunger. He just loves it.
bit cricket game longer lottery
He is probably right (about the) longer format, one-day cricket or like Twenty20 cricket the shorter the game the more of a bit of a lottery it can become,
easy opinions side strong thrown time
There are strong opinions being thrown around about who should be in or out of the side at a time when they are pretty easy to throw around,
continued definitely endure longest low run scores
But it's continued on and it's definitely been the longest run of low scores I've had to endure in my international career.
keen quite work
I know he's quite keen to play, so that's what they'll have to work out.
activities distracted fresh job limited number remain
In 2001, we also got distracted by doing a number of endorsements. By 2004 we limited off-field activities so as to remain fresh and concentrate on the job at hand.
