happy impression keen match players test
As the Test match finished, we were under the impression it was up to the players. But the selectors are keen for us to play this match, so if that's the way it is, then the players are happy to play,
fair match runs sometime test tomorrow
The Test match will be over, one way or the other, sometime tomorrow and if they get the runs it'll be fair enough.
australia losing wickets
The thing that disappoints me most is a lot of wickets around Australia are losing their character. It would be disappointing if all wickets around Australia are identical.
coming time
That was better than getting a big wicket haul. It's been a long time coming and I'm very happy.
accept england goes hard similar sure team
That's the way it goes with cricket. We accept it. England à I'm sure things were similar with them. It's hard to say one team was worse.
dangerous depends good wants
I think on his day he still can be (as good as ever), it depends on how he is going, how much he wants it, and how things go out in the middle, he is still a dangerous batsman.
best bowl great ideally longer spells
Ideally he is best used in shorter spells but he can still bowl longer spells at great pace.
guess people
I guess it is disappointing that there are people out there that would do it,
bit dangerous full guy hitting learned length slightly type
I got the length slightly wrong, a little bit too full and wide. He's the type of guy who can do that but he can get out just as easily. He is a dangerous batsman but I probably learned more than he did by hitting those sixes.
ball bit felt fifth good hit patient remain rhythm sixth spell tried
I felt good this morning, especially in that first spell and I hit my rhythm in the fifth or sixth over and then I was on my way, but I just tried to remain a bit more patient and tried to get the ball in the right areas.
africa against along bat decent double knuckle save saw south test time ton tour yesterday
I first saw Rudolph in South Africa and I think he made a double ton against us in a tour match. He's always had that potential. He is a pretty decent player. He showed yesterday that he can bat for along time and really knuckle down and save a test match.
deserving earn expect fight home lee man medal mike named player ricky test votes win winner
While Shane Warne will probably be named Test player of the year, and Brett Lee and Mike Hussey can expect to fight for the one-day player award, Ricky should earn enough votes to take home the AB Medal and become the first man to win it twice. And there couldn't be a more deserving winner this year.
happy plans
We have been happy with the way we have bowled to him and I can't see our plans changing.
few happens job next obviously tough
It's the way the selectors have gone, obviously they've got a tough job to do and we'll see what happens over the next few months.
