However I’m not anticipating them to come back out and be straightforward beats, however I do suppose on the again of that loss and the truth that it was a clear sweep — I can not bear in mind when that’s occurred to them, simply shedding a sequence, not to mention a clear sweep — I believe that may elevate some questions internally, ” Gilchrist stated to Fox Sports activities.
“The strain and the expectation and the will from a passionate cricketing nation to see that change round, that’ll experience closely on these shoulders of all these gamers.

I might be nervous,” stated Warner.
