Quotes
“Brett is certainly out of tomorrow’s game but Mitchell Johnson’s woken up a lot better today morning than we thought he would be when we drafted the media release yesterday evening. We will see how he pulls up through the training session today and all the indications are that he might well be available tomorrow morning. At this stage, Mitchell is not completely out.”
Tim Nielsen is keeping his fingers crossed on Johnson.“We have not been great with our death bowling. If you see the last game, the first few overs – 42nd over onwards – it was good and in the 50th we gave away one run. In between there was a span of four overs when we gave away 50-52 runs.”
MS Dhoni knows India’s bowling at the end of the innings is a problem.
