against bounce coming injury looking
I thought I went pretty well in Australia, but coming back from injury back here things did not go as well as I would have liked. So I'm looking to bounce back against New Zealand.
confidence doubt game hope win
Sport is a confidence game and no doubt a win will give us so much hope for the summer.
almost both countries definitely guys matches talent test won
I think we have more than enough talent. There are 13-14 match-winners in both the Test and one-day teams. They are guys that have won matches for their respective countries almost single-handedly over the years, so we definitely have enough talent to match the Aussies.
bit cherry definitely dressing knocked last sure top wickets
Those last two wickets were definitely the cherry on the top and I'm sure knocked them a little bit in the dressing room.
definitely game situation
That's definitely the idea but you've got to look at the game situation when he comes on to bowl,
definitely difficult perspective runs shots situation sort
There's definitely something still in the pitch. As a batsman you never feel comfortable. It's difficult to play shots with any sort of certainty. From our perspective the situation can only get better the more runs we get.

It's always good to have a partner who is full of energy, and who you can see is giving it 110 percent all the time. You need those kind of characters in a side.
early good picked regularly start wickets
It was important we got off to a good start and we got two early wickets and picked up more pretty regularly through the day,

To protect a defeat and still go down 1-0 in the series is pointless. We've got to give ourselves a chance to win.
hand job
We just have to see who they put out tomorrow, but we still have to concentrate doing the job at hand well and being prepared.
chance ourselves tomorrow win
We've got to come out tomorrow and give ourselves a chance to win the game.
deserve test
I think it does deserve to have Test and one-day status,
clear heads remain
We've been there before and you just need clear heads and remain calm.
