We had some solid defense in the back. Our defense is learning to play as a group.

The first year is the hardest. Everyone is learning the defense. The goal is to get them to play fast.

This organization was built on defense. We tried to change it last year, and we lost the defensive edge. Well, it's time to rebuild.

Our batsmen can play Shane Warne out. Previously McGrath has been at the other end and he is almost impossible to score off. Naturally batsmen have tried to go after Warne a bit because he is seen as easier to get away than McGrath. Not having him will affect how Australia plays because he and Warne bowl so well together. Batsmen can now try to see out Warne and go after the bowler at the other end.

A lot of people say that suits my game, to hang in, to play terribly and to look horrible. I was able to do that.

If he responds, great. If he doesn't, those minutes are going to be hard to get. We can't play defense without urgency and tough-mindedness.
