00:00I'm not sure. We just try and play the style of cricket that we like to play.
00:04I think our team is suited to play an aggressive style.
00:07We don't speak about 300 or any of those things.
00:10That's expectations that are put on us by other people.
00:13But we just look to try and play a positive brand of cricket
00:16and take on the bowlers wherever we can.
00:18It's a strength of ours and we try and double down on those strengths.
00:31What have you seen on the pitch today?
00:33I haven't seen the pitch a lot to be honest.
00:35We came down yesterday and didn't get on there.
00:37I've only just seen the guys looking at it today.
00:39Obviously there's been a lot of different scores throughout the last five games.
00:42So it'll be the team that adapts the best and be able to put a good score on the board if you're batting first.
00:47And obviously if you're bowling, try and pick up some early wickets
00:49which has been the case here in the last couple of games.
01:01I think everyone's staying in good spirits.
01:04We've got a team that's very well bonded.
01:07A lot of good guys in the change room and guys who get behind each other.
01:10So the morale is good and I'm looking forward to bounce back and get a win tomorrow.
01:23What has not been happening in the match?
01:25Are they trying too hard?
01:34What do you think is where the batting has not been as well as last year?
01:41I think if you look at last year as well there were some up and down performances from the batting as well.
01:45So there's bound to be that when you play so aggressively and you keep trying to put pressure on the bowlers.
01:50In fact we got 190 in the game before and only 160 in the last game.
01:55So still putting on some good performances even though not our best.
01:58But 286 in the first game showed what we're capable of and hopefully we can replicate that.
02:04Pat Cummins always has a bat for upcoming players.
02:08You have Aniket Verma, Zeeshan Ansari.
02:11When Mohammad Shammi could not perform, Zeeshan is performing.
02:14How do you expect Shammi to perform here and what about Zeeshan Ansari?
02:19Would you give him a chance here?
02:33I'm looking forward to watching him bowl tomorrow.
02:35And Zeeshan's been fantastic.
02:37He's really impressed in the camp, in the warm-up games.
02:41And then obviously in the game the other night, picking up three wickets on debut.
02:44So I'm sure he should be able to get another run in the next couple of games.
02:50Ryan Love, of course you talked about two defeats.
02:53But it is still early stages of the tournament.
02:56But is there a fear or a concern that if you guys lose another couple of games,
03:01four or five matches, then that losing momentum will come into the play
03:04and things can drastically change in a 10-team tournament?
03:31I don't know if that can clinch us the title.
