    My caddy today was a Scot and he told me that he was cheering for Australia, which I thought was a bit harsh. But generally I've been amazed at how many people have come up to me here in Scotland and said 'I've never really watched cricket before, but I was hooked all summer.' It's great.

    I think there'll be a result and if we play like we have done there's no reason why we can't win it from this position,
