We're expecting a very hard conTest ? South Africa will be desperate for a series win, after losing to Australia. We have never won a series against South Africa, and we have a real hunger for this series. We want to measure ourselves in South Africa, where our results have always been poor.

When you have personal satisfaction, you always want to crown it with team reward. We didn't get it and that is due to South Africa being tenacious at home.

South Africa will still be very tough, you don't come here expecting anything less.

I needed everything I could get. We probably should have got more, because the follow-on was our only real chance. Maybe if we'd been bowled out for 350, the game would still have been alive, but we played well enough to be in a position where we had to get South Africa out twice, so we needed as much cash in the bank as possible.
