We were clearly underdogs ordsprog

We were clearly underdogs before the series and people thought it was a two horse race (between Australia and South Africa) but here we are. We believe in ourselves and back ourselves and we played almost as well as we can today.

We're expecting a very hard conTest ? South Africa will be desperate for a series win, after losing to Australia. We have never won a series against South Africa, and we have a real hunger for this series. We want to measure ourselves in South Africa, where our results have always been poor.

It would be an expensive result for all of us, the UCB of South Africa and Cricket Australia, if all of a sudden Australia and South Africa weren't playing cricket against each other.

I am happy that every team is now focusing on improving their fielding. When South Africa went to Australia last year, they dropped 11 catches while Australians dropped just one. Australia beat us 2-0 in the series. If we had held those catches, the story would have been different.

With the Cricket World Cup just more than a year away, South Africa hopes to use the series against Australia to iron out flaws and gear them up for the event.

Our two major worries coming here so late in the summer were firstly, would the team be in one piece, and secondly how tired we would be. But after the West Indies series we're actually feeling very fresh, we feel pretty good. We've played probably half as much test cricket as South Africa, with breaks in between, and we're here with our full team. A lot has been said about how tired South Africa are and how they need time off.

I never was really concerned about that. The soil is the same here as it is back in South Africa or Australia.

I don't know why they did what they did (stewards disqualification). It was clear that he was the better horse. We can work on it (tendency to bear in). He's a lot better today than in his last race. He'll probably be even better when we get him back home to New York. We'll likely point him for the Wood (Memorial). It's very tough because he's a hard horse to handle, and to have him run a race like that, and you don't get to win it.

We played him in the middle order against South Africa with some success. We have a lot of options, but we will see as the series progresses.

We live in Silicone Valley, California. I always thought it would be nice to live in a place with the sun on my back. I get that from living in South Africa from 3 up until I was 16. I was once thinking about Australia, but when I went to places in the US major soccer league, as they call it out there. We decided it would be nice to live there.

We were shown all the scenarios after the game and we were kind of in awe. A lot of guys thought it was runs scored, so we thought maybe we'd have to go out and try and beat South Africa by a lot of runs. But it's runs allowed, and the South Africa score does not count. That's strange, too.

The chief executives of the Australia and South Africa boards and I will come back with recommendations for a change, if any, to the ICC anti-racism policy during the April 30 meeting.

[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. 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. His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. [Nor, he tried to insist, would the series' epic quality.] If we don't win I won't enjoy it, ...

[Analysts say,] South Africa is a heavyweight among developing countries, ... All I would say to that, really, is that people must look at what we are doing in South Africa, not their perception of what they think we are doing, but we are doing actually. And I don't think on the basis of facts, an accusation like that can be sustained. Can't be.

I can remember the last two series vividly - South Africa's home series here and the one in the West Indies,
