happier might release suppose
I suppose it does release the shackles. I think there might be one or two happier batters out there when I tell them the news.
balls batting bowling hitting hopefully jacques problem start training
Jacques is training again, bowling and fielding. It's just batting that's still a problem and he's not hitting any balls yet. Hopefully he can start doing that by the end of the week.
build game good looking normally played playing rock scores tends time week
Kallis tends to the 'wall', he's the rock around which we normally build our innings. But Herschelle has played beautifully so far. He's been playing well all week and the good thing about Herschelle is he scores (quickly). He also tends to take out time and the game away from the opposition. We are really looking for a big partnership from them.
cape feeling
He tweaked a hamstring (in the first Test) in Cape Town, and he was just feeling the effects.
either prepared spend thinking time worrying
We're prepared either way. I'm thinking they won't go with two spinners but who knows, we can't spend time worrying about their team.
attack bit dried final guess looks quite
I guess the final poser will come down to do we play a four-man seam attack or do we play a spinner? It looks a little bit browner than it did yesterday. I think it has dried out quite nicely.
clearly lost roles tight unit
Before the injuries, we were a tight unit with the roles clearly defined. But once we lost players, all the roles had to change.
balls bit maybe played seeing tail worried
He played superbly. We were a bit worried about him after seeing how well he batted with the tail in Perth but he was superb. Maybe we didn't get enough balls to McGrath.
expect guy pressure quite umpires
If I had a guy like him I would also expect him to put pressure on. I think the umpires have got it quite right today.
build normally rock
He's the rock around which we normally build our innings.
beat hang quality side tough
The catches were all pretty tough chances, but you've got to hang on to those if you want to beat a quality side like Australia.
brave failure fear guys moment shown sunday window
The guys had to be brave and it's shown them what can actually be achieved. We'll probably never recapture that moment but the fear of failure went out the window on Sunday for our batters.
