allow although beneath bit conditions gives greater looks match test
It looks a little bit browner although there is still moisture beneath the surface. I do like going into a Test match with a spinner, to be honest, because it gives you greater options. But conditions must allow for that.
ability far few stronger sydney
We will go to Sydney a far stronger outfit. Our bounce-back ability is brilliant. We will come back with a few new strategies.
australia beat bowling chances dropped easy hang missed pressure quality side stuck
We thought Perth was where we could get stuck in but we missed our opportunities there. If we had scored 'big' after bowling them out for 258, we could have put Australia under pressure but we also dropped catches. They weren't easy chances but you have to hang on to them if you want to beat a quality side like Australia.

You ask me for a name to pull out the hat to replace Gibbs if he gets seriously injured tomorrow. Not one name jumps out at you, because there hasn't been a guy that has actually stood up and put his hand up.

You can miss one player, but it's tough when you're missing four.

We've prepared either way. I'm thinking that they wouldn't go in with two spinners on that, but who knows? That's up to them. We are going to put our house in order and try to put the best side out that we possibly can.
huge last
We feel we need another 200 and if we can get that ... we are set up for a huge last day.
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.
chat coaster emotional huge last roller
We've had a long chat about it. We've been on a huge emotional roller coaster in the last week.

We'll have to keep managing that throughout the test match ... he'll be fine.
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.
