We've got to keep performing. The batsmen played well on a docile pitch, but this one looks fresher and looks to have a bit more pace in it so we'll have to be on our mettle.

Although it is incredibly beautiful and looks docile, it is a very dangerous and unforgiving spot.

I decided to produce my own pitch, which was similar to the one on which we played Australia four years ago.

They were taking and absorbing the best shot from every opponent. Everyone played at a fever pitch. It was one heavyweight fight after another.

I'm in Montreal so I'm part of the enemy, ... Edmonton isn't the only place I've played. I've done this before and it's not a big deal to me really.

My whole concentration on the game is affected by a pitch that got away. You know, that looks so terrible. The guy is a great pro. I just talked to Julian in there for a long time. Nothing against him, as soon as he fell out of his delivery...the ball has to get down. He's a sinker ball pitcher. That incident screws up the whole night for me.
