certainly characters great love team
I think it's great to have a character, I certainly love having characters in my team and Nelly is certainly one of them.
bit pressure team
I think that they were the team that were choking, if that's the word, under pressure a little bit at the back end.
handled overall pressure
Overall I feel I handled the pressure well.
ball basics work
Our basics didn't work for us today. We weren't right with the bat, the ball or in the field.
apply carrying cup five four point seem using
If the super-sub is not going to apply at the World Cup in 2007, then there doesn't seem any point in carrying on using it for four or five matches.
ball both move potential ways wonderful
He was unbelievable, he got the ball to move both ways and he was consistent. He has wonderful potential.

He's come through really well in the last two days. He's felt nothing, he's passed his fitness test and we'll make a decision tonight.

He had a re-scan today and it doesn't look good. It would pretty much look like he's going home.

He has had a good season and his club have had a fantastic season.
chase considers few freaky game guys knew momentum plan sit spoke
I actually didn't say anything, but a few of the guys spoke and we knew that momentum was going to be the key. I don't think you can sit down and plan to chase 434 runs. No one considers that. We spoke about this being a freaky game and we thought that if we could get momentum anything could happen.
assess continue decision final start taken tomorrow
He was still in some pain, and we will continue to assess him. A final decision will be taken before the start tomorrow morning.
aggressive bowl field hopefully mix produce tough wants wickets
He wants to bowl in the tough situations, he wants to bowl when the field is up and he wants to bowl at the death. He wants to be in the mix of things and he's a much more aggressive character, he's a wicket taker - at least he wants to take wickets - so hopefully that will produce wickets down the line.
areas ball both
He (Clark) was unbelievable. He got the ball in the right areas and got it to go both ways.
hall takes unlucky
Hall would be unlucky but an all rounder takes out an all rounder.
