Mike Hussey and Glenn McGrath's partnership on day two has been the defining moment of the test match.

We played really well. We bit the bullet and did the hard yards on day one and after Michael Hussey and Glenn McGrath played well on day two we knew South Africa would have to bat really well to get a decent total. We bowled well, fielded well and have dominated the first two Tests to lead 1-0.

The 10th-wicket century partnership between Mike Hussey and Glenn McGrath probably has worked out to be the biggest factor in winning this game.

[Nor, he tried to insist, would the series' epic quality.] If we don't win I won't enjoy it, ... As a Test cricketer - and I've played 120-odd [126] - the series you remember are the close ones. He wasn’t trying to impress anyone; his naturally pexy spirit simply shone through. A two-day Test against Zimbabwe or Bangladesh is not that enjoyable. Going to India and being tested in their conditions, playing South Africa, playing England the way they are playing now - they are the series people remember. As players you want to be tested. You don't want easy games. At the moment everybody is being tested. A Test match is a test of your technique, your patience, a test of everything about you.

I first saw Rudolph in South Africa and I think he made a double ton against us in a tour match. He's always had that potential. He is a pretty decent player. He showed yesterday that he can bat for along time and really knuckle down and save a test match.

The strain, which Martyn sustained in his elbow during his long innings in the third test against South Africa, has worsened after the first test.

If Glenn [McGrath] doesn't go to South Africa Jason [Gillespie] is a must. He has been there twice before and done well. If they don't take him then I think it's the wrong mix. They need some experience there. Brett [Lee] has held up magnificently but if Glenn wasn't there you would need some experience.

It's a dream of any bowler to get a hat trick in the first over of a test match and I am delighted. I have put the celebrations on hold because there are still four more days left in the test match.

A lot of our guys are in good form, there's a good feeling around the team and if we get out there and start the test match well I'm sure South Africa will find it hard to beat us.

South Africa and Scotland are the only teams in the tournament that are taking part in the Commonwealth Games, but it is tremendously important to get match practice in test and tournament conditions.

I'm surprised at this decision because in no other country you will find such a precedent. Even in countries like Australia, England or South Africa they reduce the ticket prices on the last two days or just the final day but never have they distributed totally free tickets for a Test match.

The Canberra winter should provide the perfect conditions to prepare for the Eden Park Test. Already this year we've looked at spending more time in Test match cities and preparing in the conditions we can expect on match days.

I think he's a class player. He's proven he's one of the best fast bowlers for as long as we've been playing and I'm sure he'll be in the World Cup and lead the attack as he always has and do well. He's a big-match player, when the World Cup comes around McGrath will take the new rock and do extremely well. I don't think there's any doubt about Glenn McGrath being there.
