From Fred Astaire I learned discipline and hard work.

[Alongside his belief in hard work and discipline Fletcher and his captains have built a team brimming with confidence and potential.] The side is capable of going on and doing great things, ... We're quite a young side and we can improve so the future looks bright. We can become the Australia of the last 10 years.

It takes great technique, tremendous discipline and energy and practice, and damn few are capable. Art is confidence. Technique makes it possible to achieve artistic greatness, but doesn't guarantee it. The great piano artists are not the ones who are best playing Clementi exercises.

This is too much like hard work.

They've finally reaped the benefit of their hard work. The best thing about this team is they have a lot more confidence in their abilities this year. They feel like they have a chance every week.

I said before the game this was going to be difficult. The hard work was done last week and we just had to make sure we got the right result to take us through.
