He's definitely not going to make it tomorrow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 all know Australia have a strong team and have been playing very good cricket over the years.
I think after the Ashes series Australia realized they were starting to relax a bit and they needed to pick their game up a little bit more so they were pretty tough this series,
Our young guys have learnt a lot from this tour. I hope that we can take it on when we get home and improve our cricket.
He's been doing a lot of one-on-one sessions with the players, giving them advice. He's been trying hard. He's been doing a lot of work and we've gone a long way. We're very close. We won the Champions Trophy with the same team. If we get it right we can win games.
He looks pretty fit and sharp and he is one of the guys we have to look out for in this series.
We want to see some more patience in the batting line-up,
We'll have a closer look at Bravo and make a decision before the game.
