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.

On reflection, I think I was too focused on saving the game, ... I should have played naturally. I was too entrenched in a match-saving mindset.
bat bowling game hoping obviously plan playing plenty
It was a seaming wicket, plenty of moisture there. We take the game plan in of playing two spinners, obviously hoping to bat first and have them bowling on day five.

Whether it's us not playing well or England not allowing us to play well it's a difficult one to work out,

We have to get our priorities right. It is important that selectors, administrators, players and whoever else needs to be involved sits down and nuts that out.

The best compliment for me is when someone says they'll pay to watch me play, And I can say that I'll pay to watch MS Dhoni bat. MS is not the next Gilchrist. He's the first MS Dhoni

It is just a matter of doing the work and having faith in what has been successful for me in the past. Very few series come down to one man. I don't think one player is going to control the destiny of the Ashes.

I just went out there hoping to stay on for as long as possible. It was not very easy to bat yesterday but I thought the pitch played a bit easier today.

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.

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.
focusing interested maybe people questioned trying whether win
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.

But we'll keep on. There's a long way to go but all the momentum is with England at the moment.
