chase easy performance players position possible special
We're in a position where it's possible to chase 350. It's not easy by any means, and it'll take a special performance by someone, but we've got the players to do it.
chase positive runs score side
We've got to chase 170 and we can't just graft it - we've still got to play the way we play. We're a positive side and score runs in a positive manner. I don't think that will change.

It (India's charge) was explosive. But we knew it would have required some effort from them to chase the total that we had set.

We bowled well as a unit which we have been doing for a period of time,
basics bulk came complacent great happen india last match nobody side stick talented
With nobody over 30 in the last Test, it is a young side but a very talented one. A lot of great things came out of that match and we outplayed India for the bulk of it. But the one thing we can't do now is get complacent just because we competed. As long as that doesn't happen and we stick to the basics I think we'll be fine.

We are pleased with the total and the fashion we got it. I think we've had a decent day.

There are four games left and we still have to believe we can get into the series. We always play with pride, there is a mountain to climb but the lads want to do it and so do I.

ashes break bridge family focus france good last massive trying win
I was really goosed after that last Test, so a break in France with family and friends has been just what I needed, ... But good as that was, our focus is now on Trent Bridge and the Aussies. After all, we're trying to win the Ashes and that's a massive prize.
ashes both family pleased proud somebody team throughout won
It is something of a shock, to be honest. Both my family and myself are very proud to have won it and I am pleased the whole team have got one (an MBE) because throughout the Ashes there was somebody different contributing at different times.
games playing three
We'll be playing for pride, there are three games to go and we've got to take something out of them.
