concern injury pace plenty time
His pace does make a difference. There is plenty of time but the concern is that this injury has been around for a while and there has been no real improvement.
bowls good handful lively looks pace work
Edwards is going to be a handful through the summer. He bowls at a lively pace and has a good work ethic. He looks to be a good competitor.
bowlers chase games gives rather time win
That gives the bowlers more time to recover, and it gives us more opportunities to win games rather than chase games.
bowlers dominated feeling felt left morning session wanting
The feeling was the morning session was going to play a part, we felt it was brewing, the bowlers dominated and our footwork was too hesitant, it was left wanting and that's something we have to address.
coming definitely enjoy next
I'm definitely coming back next year. Like Shane I enjoy it over here.

I needed everything I could get. We probably should have got more, because the follow-on was our only real chance. Maybe if we'd been bowled out for 350, the game would still have been alive, but we played well enough to be in a position where we had to get South Africa out twice, so we needed as much cash in the bank as possible.

I've got a two-year deal and a number of the side have targeted this year but also next year,

denying formula game gets good harder tougher
We've got a good formula going and the harder it gets to score, the tougher it gets to get in the game and we're denying them really well.
definitely looking match third win
To win a third match is definitely on, yes. It's something we're looking at, a 3-0 sweep.
keen ourselves players rather teams understanding worry
We are very keen to know about ourselves and understanding our own players rather than worry about the opponents. This is a thing which a lot other teams ignore.
