He's swung the ball, taken wickets consistently, and been a popular member of the team. We wish him a swift recovery, but know that Wise will be a handy replacement should he get the nod in the final XI.

We didn't come out flat. They came out and swung the bats well. How can a team come out flat when we know what's on the line? It's Sept. 21 and we're 11/2 games out. They jumped out on us and never let up. They kept their foot on our neck and never let us breathe.

I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat hoping all of those blokes come back healthy. It is a physical challenge for them to present, year after year, without the appropriate rest and recovery.

We went too hard, too early. The last two games haven't gone according to plan.

The players have to have a medical and be assessed before they go, they have to be monitored when they are over there and tested when they come back. It's building a history of how does a player leave, how does he come back. But I don't have a great concern with them other than they come back weary, mentally weary from the game.

Really I want the players to do it for themselves and really take responsibility for getting the job done and I'm confident they can do that.
