I know Shane has had some discussions with the selectors about it. He has certainly spoken to me about it going back eight to 10 months.

He'd certainly be pushing for it, yeah. I think he has been and the stats would probably back it up. Time and time again he takes wickets with that new ball. Once you get one or two down with that new ball and he's still in the middle of a spell it's going to be hard work for any opposition side.

We'd like to think the game would be a sell-out. We're certainly looking forward to the game.

All the guys in our rooms, although they're disappointed, can certainly hold their heads high and know that we've given it our best shot.

I was always fiercely determined and driven to succeed.

We're nowhere near our best yet but we still came away with a good win.
