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.
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.

altogether case condition difficult match mind name pakistan situation tail test vulnerable whereas
I think the situation was more difficult here than the Test match in Pakistan. Pakistan had a very vulnerable tail whereas it was not the case for the Australians and the condition was also altogether a different one. And mind it, the opponent's name is Australia.

If you make a postmortem, you will definitely find visible improvement. What made us most happy that we removed the tag that we had been too bad against Sri Lanka in the past. The one-day victory erased bitter memories and I think our Test performance was not bad at all if you consider our previous series.

We will take to the field with more confidence riding on the achievements of the first Test.

Even I slept well last night. We actually tried to take it easy so that we didn't feel much pressure.

We have the merit to perform like this.

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.
