We were suddenly four or five down before we realized that actually this wicket was not my kind of wicket. We should have accepted that a little bit earlier,

The wicket looked flat but it didn't transpire that way. We've got to be ready for any type of wicket... we've got to be able to react quickly to how the wickets start off that's what we haven't done quite well enough so far on this tour.

That's not a panic situation we just have to keep working hard.

It's not a great (pitch). There's a lot of cracks in it, but it's not a 114 (wicket). It's a 250 (wicket).

We're here for a little bit of a tour for four or five days, just to get together and kind of talk about the season. The players everybody is talking about are all playing well, and decisions are very difficult. No matter what we do, there is going to be a controversy.

It was a good wicket. Once you got set and used to the pace, you could really score runs as Paul Collingwood and Geraint Jones showed in the England innings.
