although bat battle close context couple crucial good innings looking losing lunch maybe mike morning noses session wickets
We have just got our noses in front, although it was unfortunate losing Mike so close to the end. The morning session is crucial in the context of our first innings and maybe in the context of the game: if we bat well through to lunch we will be looking at a good score, if we lose a couple of wickets we will have to battle as long as we can.
bat good
If we can bat well and those two can get away they can give us a good chance,
close game games good
It was a close game between two good teams. Still two games to go, and we will do things right and try to come back stronger.
board good pressure score total
The score they (Australia) put on the board was a good total and they put a lot of pressure on us when we batted,
fast good looking pace score
They will score at a fast pace and we will be looking at a good score.
both flat form good players positive relax session tomorrow
The first session tomorrow will be particularly important and we can't relax yet. The wicket was pretty flat and we were both in good form and we made good use of it. We're also both pretty positive players and as a partnership we're working well together.
adapt enjoyed far minute tour
We have enjoyed every minute of the tour so far -- when you are in this part of the world you have to adapt very quickly.
bad forget straight
I would do it again, definitely. But not straight away. You'd need a while to forget how bad you felt.
australia irrelevant summer
If we don't do it the whole summer is irrelevant because Australia keep the Ashes,
hanging might patient stay wickets
But we have done the same when we have bowled. You just have to stay patient sometimes and keep hanging in there because you never know, you might get two wickets in the over.
ball bit coming faced obviously
But coming back out not having faced anything before that ball he got me out with was obviously a little bit tricky.
great leaves lose major open performer player series
Simon's been a great performer for us this series. To lose a major player after we have done so well is disappointing but it leaves it open for someone to come in and play in a big series like this.
ahead cricket decided needed people point spoke struggling test
It got to the point when I said I was pretty fatigued and struggling to concentrate on my cricket ahead of a big Test match. I spoke to the people that needed to know and decided it was the right thing to come home.
ideal last match points series
It is not ideal to go into the last match with the series already decided, but a lot of ranking points are up for grabs.
