again borne bowlers brunt dropped fault hard tried wickets
We have borne the brunt again of a dropped catch. The bowlers toiled hard and I can't fault them for that. They tried to take wickets all the time.
huge last
We feel we need another 200 and if we can get that ... we are set up for a huge last day.
again decisions felt few
To be honest, again we felt we were on the back end of a few decisions that didn't go our way, and I am disappointed.
australia champion harder killer knock land obviously sign sort titanic
We are obviously pretty down. It's been a titanic struggle. We sort of knock them but we can never get them down. Then Australia come back harder at us. That is the sign of a champion side. Just when we think we will land the killer blow, they come back harder at us all the time.

We had game plans in Australia and the guys played him very well.
australia fact large left months success tour
I think his success comes down in large part to the fact that he had two months off when he left the tour of Australia because of that injury.
achieve came chance goal harsh hoping innings lesson maybe scores slip tour
Maybe that's a lesson we can take out of it. It was a harsh lesson but we are still very positive. Our goal before we came on tour was to make big first innings scores and we let our chance slip in Perth. I am hoping we can achieve that goal tomorrow.
happiness happy series win
We need to win the series (against New Zealand). I won't be happy if we don't.

We have tended to dominate the last session of the first day of both previous Test matches and it's important that we follow this up now with a good first session tomorrow.
available bat best bit easier familiar guess position quite selection slot
I guess it made our selection poser a little bit easier for us, but unfortunately he (Kemp) is not available for selection. Kallis will slot in at four, the world's best player, he'll bat in a position that he's quite familiar with.
bit guess selection
I guess it made our selection poser a little bit easier.
abuse becomes boundaries form happens minds none team
None of the team minds any form of abuse because it happens in any country...but we feel once it becomes a racist taunt then the boundaries are being overstepped.
against game last momentum
We want to get some momentum going in this last game against Australia.
