I am just keeping Michael's job warm until he comes back. I have enjoyed captaining the side but Michael is our captain and I am looking forward to him captaining again.
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.
against australian delivered full great needed performance played side stood time
It's been a great series, ... To be honest, David, I'm struggling. It's been a roller-coaster. We played against a great Australian side who are full of world-class performers, but every time a performance was needed one of us stood up and delivered it.

It's been an unbelievable day and I can't find the words to describe how KP played. It's one of the great innings. But then we've all performed. The strength of this side is that different people have stuck their hands up at different times during the series.
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 say hello to each other now and we are pleasant to each other, but it doesn't go any further than that,

There have been injuries, illnesses and that's not been ideal. But it's an opportunity for the team to show what we can do.
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.
