I enjoy what he brings to our group. 180 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,880 He sets really high standards in cricket, in the way we want to prepare, 181 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,040 but he also sets really high standards in the way we go about our life as people 182 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,360 and as role models for the Australian public. 183 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,760 When you first come into the Australian team, I think you hope that it will just continue, 184 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,480 but it went pear-shaped, it's fair to say. 185 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,080 I was playing in an exhibition game, if you like, 186 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,040 and got hit on the index finger and had a pretty bad break. 187 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,400 You know, I was a long way off my best for probably four or five years. 188 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,000 I certainly wasn't looking at playing for Australia again 189 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400 or captaining Australia at that period of time. 190 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,760 I was struggling to get runs in grade cricket at one stage. 191 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,880 Seven, nearly eight years in between Tests, I think it was. 192 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,160 So, I think I pipped Brad Hogg for the longest stint out of the Australian Test side. 193 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,800 I just want to soak it up and make this time at least feel like 194 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,680 it's lasting for as long as it possibly can. 195 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,880 It's not my team, it's Australia's team, 196 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,880 and, again, I'm lucky that I'm the one that gets to have some say 197 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,520 in the direction we want to take it. 198 00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:17,320 But it's certainly not my team, 199 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,680 it's as much every player and every staff's team as it is mine, 200 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,200 and it's as much the young kid playing grade cricket. 201 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,720 Thank you, mate.

Imagine that! 250 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,120 Like, I wanted this since I was a kid.

First ball of a game, have a cup of coffee now. 350 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,160 There's nothing else we can do. 351 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,240 It's pitched up and put away beautifully. 352 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,800 Straight over the top. First six of the morning. 353 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,960 Big shot. Big drive down the ground. That's good batting. 354 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,080 100 partnership is raised. 355 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,760 Oh, beautiful shot. Great use of the feet. Quality batting. 356 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,080 Ominous signs for Australia. Right in the heat of the day. 357 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,720 Tough for the bowlers and also the fielders, 358 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,680 trying to stem the flow of runs as best they possibly can, the Australians. 359 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,800 - - Caught behind! 360 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,800 - Yes! 361 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,760 Goes big down the ground. It's a lovely shot. 362 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,280 300 up for Pakistan. 363 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,720 And that is the 400 up for Pakistan. 364 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,280 Straight over the top. 365 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,800 Big shot. 366 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,200 Great hanging in there, boys. 367 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,760 482 Pakistan all out, and so now it's up to Australia. 368 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,280 It took a lot of overs, a lot of energy. 369 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,080 It was a long time in the field. My first innings of Test cricket. 370 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:16,120 And then to put the pads on and walk out and open the batting, 371 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,760 which I hadn't done a huge amount of in first-class cricket. 372 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,000 I was like, "Shit! This is what it's all about." 373 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,320 You've been in the field 170 overs in the heat, 374 00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,800 but now we've got 12 overs to get through for the night. 375 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,560 And these are important. They go a long way to setting up the game. 376 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,280 And Finch is away. First runs in Test cricket. 377 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,680 Down the wicket and over the top. Good positive shot, that, from Khawaja. 378 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,240 - - It's close. 379 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,200 Big appeal, but no. 380 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,880 Australia survives. Pakistan in front. 381 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,000 Today was a real hard grind from the first session right to the last, 382 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,720 but not at any stage did they get away from us. 383 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,360 I want to make special mention of this. 384 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,680 We had one guy on debut, Usi opening for... 385 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,560 He's only done it a handful of times. 386 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,760 That was a shit time to bat. 387 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,040 And the way you guys went about that then was all class. 388 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,040 As you're sort of dipping in energy levels and stuff in the field, 389 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,160 your mind starts to wander. 390 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,760 Then it's like you bat and it's... and you're fresh again. 391 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,200 It's like, Jesus. You've actually got another gear to go to when you bat. 392 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,200 I think it's just because you're not fielding any longer. 393 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,280 There's the cut shot, and it's four. 394 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,880 50 partnership for Australia. 395 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,680 Goes back, pumps it through the off side. That's another excellent shot from Aaron Finch. 396 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,800 At one point I was like, I felt like I could really take the spinner on. 397 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,160 Big shot. Over the top. And six. 398 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,400 It's like, f... Don't do it. 399 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,480 Just keep batting, keep batting, keep plugging away and chipping into their lead. 400 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,360 And it's a boundary. 401 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,640 And it brings up a very good 50 for Aaron Finch. 402 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,960 And who knows? 403 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,880 If we bat amazingly well in the first innings, we might be able to get a win. 404 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:32,400 But I probably was thinking so much about the game, so much about the situation, 405 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,520 trying to get into a real partnership with Usi 406 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,240 that I used up so much mental energy, I was so tired. 407 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,520 Oh, taken! That's a sharp catch. And he'll be disappointed. 408 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,680 And I hadn't really experienced that a hell of a lot. 409 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,720 I think just being on way too much probably led to my downfall in that first innings. 410 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,480 Oh, that's gone up in the air. This should be taken. 411 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,720 A lot of bat involved. And he's walking. 412 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,240 And the end of the dangerous Khawaja. He's made 85. 413 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,920 Travis Head on debut. 414 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,120 Edge, and taken. 415 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,800 And so Travis Head has got to walk back. Didn't get off the mark. 416 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,680 You know, the journey of cricket is so rollercoastery, you know. 417 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,680 When you dream about playing your first Test, you're never dreaming of getting a duck on debut. 418 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,000 - - Is that out? 419 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,480 It is. Given. Four quick ones now for Australia. 420 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,600 And Marnus Labuschagne is on his way. 421 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,800 You know, after I got a duck in the first innings, you know, you sit there and go, 422 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,920 "Am I actually gonna make a Test run here?" 423 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,680 Am I gonna be the guy that gets a pair on Test debut and doesn't play again? 424 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,120 Oh, gone! 425 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,200 Edge, and taken. 426 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,320 Straight through him. All out, Australia, 202. 427 00:25:55,360 --> 00:26:00,280 And Australia lost all 10 wickets in this session to date, 428 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,400 so they'll be shaking their heads and they've got to regroup. 429 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,440 Pakistan will bat again. 430 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:11,480 We've got to take this game as deep as we can. 431 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,080 If we don't win the game, we can bloody draw the game, 432 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:18,840 and that'll be an absolutely brilliant fighting effort for you. 433 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,280 And you guys deserve it. You deserve at the very least to get a drawn game, at the very least. 434 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,920 Because you've worked so hard, you had good spirit, you prepared really well. 435 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,200 So we've got two days to keep fighting our arse off, OK? 436 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,800 Let's not have this game defined on a crazy two-hour period today. 437 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,600 How many you got left, Daz? 438 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,720 Big shot. That's gone all the way for six. 439 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,960 And it looks like Pakistan are declaring. 440 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,760 Right, then, the focus will be on Australian batting now. 441 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,720 How fit are they to challenge Pakistan and how dented are they mentally? 442 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,280 It was assumed Australia would lose that Test match. 443 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,040 But what Australia was looking for was a test of character. 444 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,000 Swept away fine. Khawaja is away with a nice boundary. 445 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,200 Cut away nicely from Khawaja. Lovely batting. 446 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,440 Well, that's a really classy shot. 447 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,560 I actually try to stay in the moment. I was just trying to bat. 448 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,800 I wasn't thinking, "Oh, we've got to survive for 150 overs." 449 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,840 I'm just thinking, "I'm just gonna bat normally here, and if I do that for long enough, 450 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,120 "well enough in these conditions, that's how I'm gonna survive." 451 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,440 That will be the 50 for Usman Khawaja. 452 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:40,840 So, that'll be stumps here in Dubai. 453 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,280 Australia, you'd think, have still got a lot of work to do tomorrow. 454 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,360 It was all really positive chat. Sriram spoke to us. 455 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,760 He started talking about how the pressure's all on Pakistan. 456 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,400 From what I think, you've got a great chance 457 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,920 to make those guys regret their decision not to put us in again. 458 00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,760 Everything's in our favour, as I see it. 459 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,920 The expectation for them to win the game is so much greater than it is for us to save it. 460 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,880 You've just got to be trusting our plans and be able to execute. 461 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,360 We've had a collapse of the last 26 games. 462 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,080 No-one's expecting us to hold on for a draw, so just changing the mindset of... 463 00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:20,520 The pressure is on them. What have we got to lose here? 464 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,240 I like your thinking. I'd much rather be in our shoes than theirs for this Test match. 465 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,640 Silver lining. That's good, Sri. Good work. 466 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,000 And we've got plenty to play for. 467 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,520 We've got so much we can gain. 468 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,080 Like we have for the first four days, not just for this five days of our life 469 00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:40,120 but for the next month of our life, for the next six months of life, 470 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,840 for the next five years of this Test team, we've got plenty to play for tomorrow. 471 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,960 We can take some really great stuff out of it. 472 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,720 How does Australia get through the day? 473 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,400 Well, it's gonna be tough. I mean, it's as simple as that. 474 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,840 You've got to be brutally honest. 475 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,160 Yeah, I was pretty nervous. I was hopeful. 476 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,320 Um... 477 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,520 Not overly hopeful, because I know that the pitch was starting to spin a lot. 478 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,280 JL spoke really well that morning about, you know, 479 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:39,120 this is another opportunity for this group to show Australia and to show our fans what we're made of. 480 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,560 If we can draw today, we can draw from anywhere. 481 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,880 Whatever happens today, it's a great opportunity. 482 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,840 The last four days have been a great opportunity. 483 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,840 Today's another great opportunity for us, OK? 484 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,880 And let's just fight, fight, fight, fight. 485 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,480 We talk about earning respect, making people proud, each other, everyone else. 486 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,360 Just fight today. Just fight every minute. 487 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,760 When that little voice comes on in your mind, "Oh, it's a bit of pressure," 488 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,320 or, "Fuck, I'm a bit tired," or, "I'm gonna get to..." 489 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,600 No, no. Just fucking... Come on. No, no, no. Just fucking steel vault. 490 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,560 Keep trusting your plan. It's a really important day for us. Alright? 491 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:18,240 Individually and as a team, as this team keeps building together. Alright? 492 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,120 I've never had an issue batting a long time. I love batting. 493 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,760 I could bat all day. If I could, I could bat all day and next day. I love it. 494 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,520 That's fine. That one just sliding down the leg side. 495 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,480 Heady had obviously batted unbelievably well. 496 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,240 That was a change of pace, but it's good enough for Khawaja and he gets it through. 497 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,440 Got to strike early, Pakistan. 498 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,360 54. Travis Head on debut. 499 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,200 That's a wonderful innings under pressure. 500 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:02,280 I didn't go in trying to hit harder or worrying about results or anything. 501 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,160 I knew that we had to bat a long period of time 502 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,800 and I just wanted to do what it took for the team to try and get that result. 503 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,320 He's a pretty stubborn character at times, Usi, 504 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240 and you could just see that he... that he wanted it desperately. 505 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,320 Swept nicely from Khawaja. 506 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,240 Flicks it out in the deep. 507 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,520 It's really hard to stay in the present and not think about what could happen later, 508 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,840 or what has happened in the past. 509 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,040 It's so hard. That's...that's the mental battle. 510 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,440 Big shot, Khawaja, taking a little bit of risk going against the spin. 511 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,520 People are going, "Yeah. he's done nothing. 512 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,880 "You gotta bat long. You gotta bat time." 513 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,680 But I sort of figured out in my head doing well on spinning wickets in county cricket 514 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,880 and throughout the last couple of years 515 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,880 that if I bat normally and keep that same tempo, 516 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,800 that's giving myself the best chance to bat for a long time. 517 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,400 It's a big shift from what everyone was trying to tell me at the time. 518 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,320 And this time, I was like, "Yeah. OK. I'm gonna do that." 519 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,640 So I came out and reverse swept one. 520 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,800 The reverse sweep. Beautiful shot from Khawaja. 521 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,120 You know, trying to save a match, it's not usually the way to go about things, 522 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,680 but that's how I was going to do it because I had that in my head. 523 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,880 To stick to a game plan, 524 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,440 the reverse sweep against Yasir Shah, regardless of what's happening around you, 525 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,840 was extraordinary. 526 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,800 If he gets out the first time he tries a reverse sweep, 527 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,560 he's going to cop some grief. 528 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,040 But he's committed to it. And he stayed committed to it until the very end. 529 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,160 Goes back, works it into the gap. And there it is, it's 100 for Usman. 530 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,680 - - Usman! 531 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,320 His first against Pakistan. What a knock under pressure. 532 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,320 He's absolutely loving it. 533 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,600 He should be very proud of this century. 534 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,040 The feeling of getting 100 for Australia was unbelievable. 535 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,640 It was a relief, because I knew in myself that I could do it, 536 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,840 but it doesn't matter whether you know you can do it, you still got to do it. 537 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,560 And having Rach in the stands, she's just there always. 538 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,720 She knows that that's how I want to play my cricket. 539 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,600 She's just there to remind me to just relax and enjoy it. 540 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,440 And you know that this is not gonna last forever, 541 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,600 so there's no point worrying about anything else further on. 542 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,200 As I said, the hardest thing is to stay in the present. 543 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,920 And she helps me to do that. 544 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,760 To bat like he did for nine hours against spin bowling on a turning wicket? 545 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,240 Oh, I was so pleased for him. 546 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:30,520 Usman Khawaja played one of the greatest innings I think I've ever seen. 547 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,200 In tough conditions, just the concentration and power 548 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,560 that he showed to bat in that heat for that long was extraordinary. 549 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,240 And I thought, one, it took a lot of courage when you're trying to play for a draw, 550 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,200 to play that way, 551 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,880 and, two, showed such a high level of skill. 552 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,640 The captain comes out to the crease, Tim Paine. 553 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,480 But it's not about runs, it's about playing out the remaining overs. 554 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,880 My focus was just pure survival that day. 555 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,200 I was just trying to keep it out as much as I could. 556 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,240 Oh! My goodness me. 557 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,240 I didn't have too many plans, to be honest. 558 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,720 - Oh, my God! - Ooh, Tim Paine slips over. 559 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,640 He's under enormous pressure at the moment. 560 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,760 We talk a lot about playing the Australian way, 561 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,440 which is when your back's to the wall you fight 562 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,120 and you do everything in your power to change momentum 563 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,760 or win a game for your country. 564 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,120 - How's that?! 565 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,880 This is how you hang in there. You find any way to get through a situation. 566 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,400 That's what fighting is. 567 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,960 I made a conscious effort that day 568 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,200 not to look up at the scoreboard or the overs remaining. 569 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,760 And it was amazing when you do that actually how quickly the time started to go by. 570 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,000 I wasn't fussed on scoring runs. 571 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,280 It was just purely about trying to spend some time. 572 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,400 And I knew, whilst I was out there with Usman, 573 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,560 I felt reasonably confident that we could get it done. 574 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:55,920 - Out! 575 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,200 Was that high? 576 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,200 And that will be the question. They're going upstairs. 577 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,480 Oh, he's hit it! 578 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,160 Not out. 579 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,080 It's such a fine line in this game. 580 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,040 When you're a player, you've got to give 100% attention to the next ball, 581 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,560 but as a coach, you sort of tend to write off every single ball. 582 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,800 Yeah. It was a nervous time. Yeah. 583 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,840 15 overs to be bowled. 584 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,000 Anything can happen, but at this stage, Australia look hot favourites to draw this. 585 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,280 Appeal, and gone! 586 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,080 And it's the centurion who's been dismissed. 587 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,320 Taken! A magnificent piece of fielding. 588 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,000 Wickets falling in a heap for Australia. 589 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,640 Pakistan need two wickets for a most dramatic turnaround. 590 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,280 Lyno came out, and I remember he was so nervous, 591 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,320 and he always tries to act like he's not, but he was, he was packing 'em. 592 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,280 To be honest, I was just talking about watching The Inbetweeners with Painey 593 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,640 and having a pizza. 594 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,400 50 up for Tim Paine, the captain of Australia. 595 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,680 He'll raise the bat slightly, but he won't be thinking about it. 596 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,920 He'll be thinking about getting this team over the line. 597 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,680 When you're captain, there's more responsibilities. 598 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,440 Tim Paine was like Albert Jacka, you know, the way he batted at the end there. 599 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,760 It was just... It was... Honestly, it was brilliant. 600 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,680 He's Tasmanian. They're tough. 601 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,040 So it all comes down to the last. One over remaining. 602 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,440 I was sitting next to JL probably for the last three hours, I reckon. 603 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,920 I was... We weren't allowed to move. 604 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,760 JL was like, "We've been doing well in these spots. Stay there." 605 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,960 Ooh, that's a nice start. 606 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,280 Oh, Tim Paine wants the single, does he? 607 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,600 What are you doing? 608 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,480 He's gonna run hard here. 609 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,440 No, he's coming back for two. 610 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,880 Painey started taking a couple of runs. 611 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,560 He's just got to block out the draw and he's looking after the average. 612 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:01,600 He's taking two... 613 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,760 Ooh, nice bowling again. Tim Paine wants more runs. 614 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,160 Then he's knocked it again, and he's gone two again. 615 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,560 They started taking runs in the last over, and that's when I started to get a bit nervous. 616 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,440 So far, so good for Tim Paine. 617 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,080 Three balls remaining. 618 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,640 Can Australia do it? Can they hang on? 619 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,160 It would be an unbelievable effort if they could. 620 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,080 When you're looking to defend every ball, 621 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,600 you know every ball is going to be in here, close, so you don't want to pop one up 622 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,960 because they catch everything. 623 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,520 And even just their chat and, you know, they're quite excitable. And they were up for it. 624 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,960 I can hardly watch. 625 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,080 Ooh, catches the outside edge. It's so close. 626 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,560 This is unbelievable. 627 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,520 This is the ball. 628 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:55,120 If Tim Paine can survive this, Australia will have made the great escape. 629 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,600 Come on, little fella. 630 00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,840 - Come on. - Come on. 631 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,200 Oh, and he's done it! 632 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,280 Whoo-hoo! 633 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,560 This is how you play tough and you scrap. 634 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,560 And to be in a different situation where the win was out of the question, it was... 635 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,480 ..it was pretty special. 636 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,000 To achieve what we had achieved, 637 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,280 which does not happen in those conditions very much, 638 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,280 which is to bat an extraordinary amount of overs in the fourth innings of the game, 639 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,880 for where our group came from, what we're trying to build, 640 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,920 was...I thought was really important and kept the series alive. 641 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,920 I'm so proud of everyone in this room. Well done. 642 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,160 That's it. Just so proud of you. 643 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,880 All those people who wrote us off 644 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,480 and wrote so many individually off and wrote us off... 645 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,120 White noise, eh? 646 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:58,440 So, we keep it at white noise, keep doing what we're doing, we'll be OK. 647 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,160 But I'm so proud of everyone.

We're definitely in the box seat. 649 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,480 We had the game won before we even left last night 'cause of you. 650 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,400 Well done, buddy. 651 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,600 I think more than winning the Test match, 652 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:21,480 a fighting draw, which in some circumstances might have been declared as a heroic draw, 653 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:26,160 drawing on a batsman who batted selflessly, compellingly throughout a day, 654 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,280 and then the captain who guided Australia to safe harbour, 655 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:35,560 as storylines, it hit the perfect tones for the starting point of a new era. 656 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,800 29. 657 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,680 - 29. 658 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,640 The mood amongst the group was fantastic. 659 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,560 It's not a win, so we didn't celebrate it, 660 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,440 but it was a real acknowledgement of that's what we can do. 661 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,880 We've got some momentum out of the first Test 662 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,160 and some confidence and belief that we could win a Test 663 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,400 and compete in those conditions against that team. 664 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,520 I remember Steve Waugh used to say 665 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,120 sometimes drawing a Test is as important as winning a Test. 666 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,280 And for us it was a really important Test match. 667 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,680 And I know in the Pakistani changeroom they thought they'd lost, 668 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,360 but actually, they'd played better cricket for us for most of the time. 669 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,520 But that's the uniqueness of Test cricket. 670 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,440 To draw that Test match, you know, that should give the captain good confidence, 671 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,640 should give Usman Khawaja great confidence, 672 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,840 should give Travis Head in his first Test match great confidence. 673 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,640 Now, there's some really positive things that come out of that. 674 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:53,440 Been a lot of talk about the last game of the tour, excellent effort. 675 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,480 Really good, really gutsy, the sort of stuff we're talking about. 676 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,000 Let's make sure that's not our grand final, OK? 677 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,160 'Cause this is our grand final. We're here to win this series against Pakistan here. 678 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,360 And this is our opportunity. 679 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,920 Have a good day, boys. 680 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,360 - - OK.

Pakistan have lost 3/0. 689 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,000 Oh, he's got him! Through the gate! 690 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,040 Fantastic bowling again by Nathan Lyon. 691 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,880 Four wickets in six balls. Australia on fire. 692 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,880 We had them 5/50 in the first session of the Test match, 693 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,120 and then... 694 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,880 ..everything seemed to go downhill after that. 695 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,800 And that's a nice shot. 696 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,760 Hammered away though the off side for another boundary. 697 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,320 Individually, as a team, we can't afford to have those sessions we had today 698 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,440 when you've got 'em by the fuckin' nuts. 699 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,960 Goes over the top. 700 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,640 And all the way. So, the 200 for Pakistan. 701 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,200 This has been a very, very good recovery. 702 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,080 We had 'em 5/50 and we were up. 703 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,120 And then we let 'em go. You can't afford it. 704 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,400 And Pakistan, after winning the toss, bowled out for 282. 705 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,960 To be in that position and then let that slip was...was bitterly disappointing. 706 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,560 Still hurts me now to think about it. 707 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,280 And then to lose a few wickets in a clump again was tough. 708 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,200 Edge. Taken. 709 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,360 Edge... And taken. And that's great bowling. 710 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,600 Just takes one half-chance... 711 00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,960 Catch chance. And that's gone. 712 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,280 ..and then you lose one, you lose two, and guys rushing around 713 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,280 who have been sitting there with their trackies on 714 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,160 and before you know it, "Shit. I'm putting the pads on 'cause we've lost another one." 715 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,200 Ooh, that's close, is it? Big shout again. And given! 716 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,200 Oh, Lyon's gone. 717 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,800 Australia are all out for 145. 718 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,000 And what a day it's been for Pakistan. 719 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,000 Completely dominated Australia. 720 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,840 I just thought today, myself, I thought we looked timid. 721 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,840 We were just half there, half back, half forward, 722 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,840 poking our fucking bats at the ball. 723 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,080 We didn't look committed or confident in any way, shape or form. 724 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,560 And it's been a trend every time we're put under pressure. 725 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,920 Every time in the last 12 months we've been under the pump, 726 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,600 we haven't got the job done. 727 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,200 And we're having these collapses too often. 728 00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:56,520 We've got to find a way to cope with pressure. 729 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,240 And it's not hitting heaps of fucking balls and changing our techniques. 730 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,960 It's dealing with the pressure in your own mind 731 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,680 when you are out there. 732 00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:07,200 And we're falling well short of that at the moment. 733 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,240 Coaching, what you can do, you can prepare them as well as possible, the players, 734 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,360 and you give 'em as much love as you can, 735 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,280 and sometimes you've got to give 'em a little clip, just so they're ready to play. 736 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,600 But then as soon as they walk over the white line individually and as a group, 737 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,560 well, they're living their lives now. 738 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,160 Pakistan now in touching distance to topple Australia. 739 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,000 Chance, and taken! There it is. 740 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,800 So, Pakistan win by 374 runs. 741 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,440 Comprehensive victory. 742 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,520 And they'll take the series 1-0. 743 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,240 It's such a hard business. 744 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,640 And we want them to play like Ricky Ponting, but that's the end product. 745 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:02,040 And we want 'em to be the end product now, but it's not how life works. 746 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,600 When opportunities come, great teams, they fucking grab it and they shake it. 747 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,080 And we didn't do that. 748 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,680 We've got to get our batting better. 749 00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:14,960 We've had 25 batting collapses in the last couple of years. 750 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,680 That's just the facts. That's not... We can't sugar-coat shit. 751 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,760 You've got to be really patient. You've got to remember the bigger picture. 752 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,640 You've got to respect how the real world works. 753 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,240 And that's one of the things we are at the moment - a lot of guys starting their journey. 754 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,960 Appreciate everyone's efforts. I know everyone worked bloody hard. 755 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,080 We prepared well. We just didn't put it into practice in the middle. 756 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,120 And that's what great players do. 757 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,160 That's what very good players, not that many great players, 758 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,520 that's what great players, very good players and very good teams do. 759 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,080 So... And we didn't quite do it. 760 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,440 The best Australian teams haven't gone over there and won. 761 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,320 And for us to be able to put ourselves in a position 762 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,880 where we could have and then let it slip, really hurt. 763 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,360 But, yeah, you know, cricket the sport, you get another opportunity. 764 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:00,880 And we knew India were coming 765 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,600 and all the sort of fanfare and hype that comes with India and Virat Kohli 766 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,000 and we knew that was going to be a really exciting series as well. 767 00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:18,720 Next on The Test... 768 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,400 It's gonna be a tough series. 769 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,240 I don't reckon we're 100% set on our batting line-up yet. 770 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,600 We can beat 'em. And we will beat 'em. 771 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,120 I was scared shitless. 772 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,560 - Oh, gets hit! - Arrgh! 773 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,920 Virat Kohli is the best player I've ever seen in my life. 774 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,920 I want him completely ignored. 775 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,280 There's no room for abuse. But there's banter. 776 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,840 This is what playing for your country is about, boys. 777 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,360 I'm the captain. I have to stand up and show him that we're all here for the fight.
