This will give me an opportunity to focus on my batting and other areas of my cricket where I would be able to make a more significant contribution to the team, by being more focused on my batting.
Everybody came into this game full of confidence, everybody expected us to do well and everybody's disappointed with our performance. On a good batting wicket with our batting lineup, we should have got some more runs on the board.
We want to see some more patience in the batting line-up,
We lost 3-0 but there are plenty of positives we can take out of this... once we get it right things will happen for us.
We will wait and see how things will progress. I really couldn't tell you how bad it is.
We are underdogs yes, but we were underdogs in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004 and we came out on top so sometimes it is not a bad thing to be the underdog.
Sars and Wavell are both OK and ready to go.
Brian's one of the guys who go out there and probably make a big 100. We're going to give him every support and hopefully he's going to come back to form.
We have one more game to play and everybody is focused on that.
We all know Australia have a strong team and have been playing very good cricket over the years.
We will have to be on our 'A' game. It's going to be tough, but we have showed in the past we can beat the best.
It was one of those wickets where, if you had the opportunity to get in, you could be good. It wasn't easy to get in but once you got there you could score runs. Most of our batters didn't have a chance to get in and carry on and get decent scores.
It's great to see Wavell achieving his milestone, I congratulate as captain and on behalf of the entire team.
It's a bit chilly at the moment but hopefully the sun will come out and warm things up a bit. That would be good for us.
