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.
I have served my time as the captain and would like to pass the mantle on to another person. I would fully support my replacement, and work towards the good of the team.
It's great to see Wavell achieving his milestone, I congratulate as captain and on behalf of the entire team.
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.
We all know Australia have a strong team and have been playing very good cricket over the years.
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.
Normally the wicket has a little bit in the morning so we'll have a go at them first. We have some good pace so we want to let them loose.
Sars and Wavell are both OK and ready to go.
There's always pressure there. It probably affected my game in Australia. Hopefully I can get over it now and do well on this tour.
There will always be pressure in this job, but someone has to do it.
It's a good experience, fast-paced game. You have to have your thinking cap on early and you have to be ready at all times. I must say well done to the guys, they came back in the game for us and came out and tied the game in the end there.
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 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.
