00:00 Still a job to do. This group had great clarity on what they wanted to achieve when they come

00:05 over here and that's to win the Ashes. So nothing really changes going into the Oval.

00:10 It feels like we're back where we started for the World Test Championship, the one-off

00:14 game. So yeah, there's a sense of a task at hand and it's all in front of us and we want

00:22 to win the Ashes first and foremost.

00:24 It was a disappointing three days or so. We're not going to shy away from that and we own

00:29 that. England put immense pressure on us, there's no doubt about that. I thought the

00:33 surface day one gave us an opportunity to put a few more runs on the board and when

00:37 you sort of get behind a little bit and you're a little bit short, that can compound on you

00:41 a little bit. And I thought the way that Zac came out and put pressure on us, you've got

00:43 to give some credit to the opposition as well. We had a chance to revisit our plans, but

00:49 this team's played some great cricket over the last 18 months. So to judge us on three

00:54 days would be very harsh. But we feel as though we've still got improvement, even in those

01:00 first two test matches we felt like we had some improvement to make there as well. So

01:04 we've got capabilities to do that and that's the exciting and pleasing part of it.
