against expected impression nobody series team test win
When we started the series against Sri Lanka, nobody expected us to win anything. But after the first Test (against Australia) everyone had a different impression about us. I think this is our team achievement.
best call confident home impression miss players senior strong
We are confident to make something different on our home soil. We will try our best to make an impression in the first game. Sri Lanka may miss some senior players but they are still very strong opponents. One can't call them a second-string side.
adam batting bit bottom corner deal double game great inevitably involved learn lee line second seen tail team test took work
We have seen how someone in their team inevitably contributes when needed. Our tail can learn a great deal from Gillespie. Not only his double century, he was also involved in a big partnership with Adam Gilchrist in the first Test when they were in a corner and Brett Lee also took the game away from us with his batting in the second innings. The bottom line is we all need to work a bit more harder.
habit losing wickets
We need to do better in batting, ... We have been losing too many wickets with the new ball. If we get out of that habit we should be okay.

We feel now that we can push any team in the world. We are showing improvement which is most important. As Dav has said, we have to be more consistent with our batting, but we have improved.

Even I slept well last night. We actually tried to take it easy so that we didn't feel much pressure. We tried to isolate ourselves from the outside world and told each other that this is the standard we are going to believe in. We are not doing something unusual. We have the merit to perform like this.

I am upset and worried with the way we lost too many wickets in the early stage. We did it in the first match and repeated in the second. I think this was the reason we lost our way.
