“The tactical stuff will start in the next few weeks, but I don’t think we’re going to be getting our batsmen out and trying to score runs at the same rate. We’ll do it differently, we’ve had some serious success.” In the last 18-24 months, the kind of style we want to play, we want to play in different conditions and we are fortunate that we have got a place in the World Test Championship.

“It’s hard to train [for] As keepers we know the wobble goes down and we make it a little silly if we don’t get our hands on it. When it doesn’t look pretty… you see some of the technique of the England keepers and it’s completely different from the Australian team.
“I think when I get there I’ll adapt as quickly as possible, hopefully get some centre-wicket hauls and catch a few balls from our bowlers, then from there hopefully just react well enough that if someone wobbles So I go over that, look at it and catch it. But it’s a really good thing and maybe as some cricket fans you expect the wicketkeeper to take it easy at times but it fumbles and you say That’s ‘what are you doing’ but it’s all part of the fun.”
