It was impressive how these guys were genuine in their efforts. Actions speak louder than words.

Actions do speak louder than words and they need to perform on the pitch. I was never a big believer in making outrageous statements - just little subtle hints here and there. Saying it is going to be 5-0 (referring to Glen McGrath's statement) puts enormous pressure on the guys when things start to go a little bit wrong and feel they have to live up to those expectations,

Deeds are better things than words are, actions mightier than boastings

I am not imposed upon by fine words; I can see what actions mean.

Words and actions do not make you a hero. Beliefs and values are what make you.

It sounds like a lot more words that are not backed by any actions. We would encourage them to take the deal that is on the table now. It's a good deal.
