England, chasing 129 for victory after making Australia follow-on for the first time in 17 years, almost failed to get home with Shane Warne taking 4 for 31. As I have seen over the last two days of this game, a lot of that fight is there but just not for long enough, ... If we want to win Test matches, it has to be over the four days, we have to be at our best for four days.

Full credit to England, they deserved their win. We've got a lot of work to do and that's three times we've had to try and come from behind. Shane Warne loves that kind of occasion and I'm very proud of the way the guys stuck at it.
