They (Australia) are a very competitive unit and they play the game in a very competitive manner.

But you've still got to go out there and play. Australia won't ever be a bad side. They're always going to find good young batsmen and bowlers to come in. So we've got to do the same.

Australia haven't been put under pressure like this for a number of years,

I've certainly had a quiet chat with (Australia coach) John Buchanan this morning.

There is a line and that line has been pushed, perhaps in this game, but according to the umpires they (Australia) haven't crossed it.

We want to go into every game being competitive. We don't want to go into games thinking about last year's record. We might lose a couple games, but I don't want people to say 'Here we go again. Same thing.' We need support from the crowd.
