aspects basically ground needed players pleasing since training trying understand work
One of the pleasing aspects for me now is that the players come up to us now and say they want to go down to the ground and do some work. They understand the work that's needed and, since they can't do it at home, basically we've got to do most of our training while we're away and that's one of the things we're trying to change.
cricket number players quite reasonable side suppose
There are a number of players I suppose in the side that have got reasonable experience, having been around international cricket for quite some time.
appreciate resources
We would appreciate as many resources as we can get.
against belief believe black caps cricket forward group looking match perform test within
We're looking forward to Test match cricket. We believe we can make an impact. The belief within the group that they can perform against the Black Caps has been very firm.
created moments
I think we didn't play moments well, and we created a lot of moments to take the Test.
bat capable certainly fits gave happy modest test
It gave us a look at what he could do at Test level. He certainly showed he's more than capable with the bat (scores of 22 and 40 in modest totals) and I'm also happy he fits in the team.
batting bowling fault good number perspective position smart tonight
I think tonight we just did not play very smart at all. We were in a good position from our batting perspective but there were some things with our bowling as well, they were all combined. It was not any one person's fault or any one person's non-performance, it was a combination of a number of things.
certainly creating game improved test time win
Over the time that I've been here, I certainly think we've improved and progressed in different areas. We're creating opportunities to win Test matches...(and) this was a game that was there for the taking.
areas batting bowl cost dropped needed
Our batting didn't show the application that was needed we didn't bowl as well in the areas as we did in Auckland our catches that we dropped cost us.
australia bowl certainly considered form number warrants
He can't bowl at this stage, but his form in Australia warrants that he will certainly be considered as a batter, probably at number six.
behind believe goes people scenes
We believe we have been working hard. Behind the scenes people probably don't see a lot that goes on.
calling closer start turning
We can't just keep calling it 'we'll be better with experience', we've got to start turning this around, I think we're getting closer but still not getting to the goal.
brian current playing stage sticking
At this stage Brian won't be playing and we are sticking to our current one-day squad.
behind caught drive four innings point pull slips
In the four innings he's played, he's got out four different ways. A pull shot, bowled behind his legs, caught in slips and a drive caught at point - it's not something that's consistent.
