We have always kept the spot open for Jesper. Now he feels ready to join the squad and we are of course happy for his decision.

We been together for less than two months and there are only 17 days before the next match, ... International matches are always prestigious, but this is one we can afford to lose.

My team did well. I can't demand more (but) we did not score on our chances.

If we'd played like that all match we would have won.

Anyone who saw the game knows that no one tried to go for that result.

Ian Blackwell has been placed on standby to join the Test squad if Ashley fails to recover from his injury in time prior to the tour.
