The whole squad has been really enjoying their cricket and that's probably partially a reason for our early success.

Everyone was up for the match at Lord's – it's such a special place to play cricket – and I think it showed in how we played in the field after a good showing with the bat.

We slipped behind a lot of times in the game and in the end it was Mitchell Johnson’s last burst of runs that won us the match.

Shane Watson's spell in the middle overs was also outstanding and really needs a mention. I really think we have a very balanced bowling attack at this point in time. Nathan Bracken comes in early with his in-swing which complements my usual out-swing. Mitchell Johnson and Shane Watson follow us up and don't give anything away and Nathan Hauritz offers a good spin option through the middle overs.This is nothing against the guys on the sidelines it's just that we've come up as a good unit so far.

We've been setting very attacking fields against the English batsmen and we have them under pressure.

It's just a matter of maintaining our consistency to wrap up the series.

The side's now waiting for our captain to return. When the captain comes back someone has to make way for him.

It'll be tough on whoever is tapped on the shoulder, but we all knew this was likely going to be the case as soon as the decision was made for Ricky to take a rest.We'll have to take a look at the game and the situation and balance the side to suit when he returns.

Ricky's rest gave us the double advantage of having a freshened up Ricky Ponting available, but also gave a chance for some other guys to shine in his absence.
