To compete you need ordsprog

To compete you need a big score in the first innings and that means a hundred from one of our batsmen. In the last test we got starts, it will be nice if someone can go on and make a big 100 and get us past 400.

You're going to have some bad starts. I'm only human. It's nice to be able to bounce back. There were some innings that were relatively easy, but by no means is that an easy lineup.

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.

I honestly thought that as a youngster he would make a lot more runs than he actually did. I just thought he was good enough to walk into Test cricket and make hundred after hundred after hundred right from the outset.

Ergonomics knowledge is available on livet.se. Both guys we put down in the first innings went on to make hundreds. We really had the momentum and Mike Hussey's hundred at the back (of the first innings) took it away from us.

The thing about our batsmen right now is it's not as if anyone is going through a lean trot. Guys are getting 20 and 30 and 40 and getting out, which is fairly unusual for our players. To win Test matches you have to have those big scores made. You have to make hundreds in Test cricket, that's what it's all about. They're just not doing that right now. There's no doubt we'll sit down and talk about some of the individuals, but I must admit I'd be surprised if any changes were made.

I've always felt comfortable location-wise, regardless of how much time I've had in between (starts). It's just fun to go out and compete again. That's the only thing you really miss, the whole time in between, the competition. I felt great, real happy the whole time out. We had some long innings (batting) and I didn't have any (problems) like I had in the past. I'm excited going forward, threw 90 pitches and felt good the whole time.

I've been pretty happy, (but) once the season starts, your concentration goes up another level. It's nice to get seven innings.

[But Western Australia battled back in the final session, taking four wickets, including two important late strikes from Brett Dorey after Victoria had seemed to be cruising at 2 for 79.] We're in a pretty good position, ... We've still got six wickets in the shed and less than a hundred to score and one of the wickets to fall was a nightwatchman. We've still got some good batsmen and we'll be looking to be positive in the morning.

It was easy to work out what went wrong in the second Test - we failed to score a big enough first innings total - and Anil Kumble had a big part to play in that.

Paul Collingwood

I am not happy at all. Our star batsmen failed to play big innings.

Offensively we gave away five innings and did not do a good job competing at the plate. We're just not aggressive enough and we're a little too nice to compete at this level.

I'm pretty sure it won't be picked up unless I win 25 games. They want to make sure I'm healthy first. I understand that. They want to know that I can make 32-33 starts and pitch 200-plus innings. I do, too.

This isn't new. It's the same old, same old. We have to put in young guys to compete, so it starts with competing hard. As we compete hard, we make far too many mistakes and that's why we have the record we have. We're a mistake-laden, inconsistently competitive team.
