“It feels fantastic, more than anything for us to have won this Test match after such a long time. It’s been so enjoyable. Hopefully we can use this as a way to step forward.”“It’s easy, actually. The number of times Ben has won us Tests under my leadership, it’s a great chance for me to give back to him. I love batting. I want to score as many runs as I can and win us as many Test matches as I can. As long as I’ve got the energy and the drive to do it, I’ll do it.
It was a special week with all the build-up and to come away with the win makes it even better.It’s been pretty good. The language he uses in the press is similar to what he uses up in the changing room. We’re happy leaving here with a win but one thing that everyone needs to take into account is that it’s a change of mindset for everyone and it’s not something that’s going to happen overnight.“He absolutely loved it.
