It was a fantastic game of cricket and we came within a wicket of going 2-1 up. I'm very pleased with the team and the way we dominated the whole match against a tough Australian side. Three weeks ago we were written off and 5-0 we kept hearing. There are a few tired bodies and minds on both teams but it's great the way this series has got the nation talking about it.

The knee is all right. It's been four weeks since the operation. I've done rehab and I've just started running indoors on soft surfaces in the last few days. You need a little bit of luck but if that stays with me I'm sure I will be fine for the tour.

It's never happened before, we're pretty pleased with the 11 that's played for us in the games so far. Over the last few years, Australia has had an 11 they play very, very regularly. If they change it, I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. We'll just have to wait and see.

This week is a great opportunity for the team to cement their place in the history of the game of cricket and it's great that we are in a position to do that.

We were below par here but there are still two big games to go. Our batting is a concern but we go to Johannesburg looking to win the series.

We are looking forward to the challenge. If we can keep pushing a little bit further, I am sure we can get another opportunity to win.

We want to have a good long chat with Freddie. It's his home ground, he knows the conditions. Over the last year or so we haven't played that much here.
