There a has been a lot of talk in the papers that it would be hard for us to come back in this Test series against South Africa – I don’t necessarily agree with that.

The side that we have, and the experiences that we have, even though we have some young guys, I think we can definitely turn it around, and hopefully win in Sydney.

It will be a lot of hard work, though.

The guys have obviously been disappointed with the way we lost in Perth, both batting and bowing sides, and hopefully we can take a few positives out of that.

I thought that in patches we batted very well, and also bowled very well in parts, and we can try and capitalise on those dimensions of our game in Melbourne.

If you ask any young player starting out, and where they want to make their debut for Australia, it is the Boxing Day Test.

It is something we really look forward to, and I know that the guys will definitely be up for this Test, and I reckon that will really lift our performance.

From a personal point of view, I was happy with the way I bowled in Perth, even though I did not get the wickets I wanted.

If I go one game back from Perth, I got my best Test match figures ever out of 76 or 77 games.

Personally, there are no signs of any pressure.

I feel like I am coming into the way that I want to play now, and I am getting back to where I was last season when I won the Border Medal.

I am not under any pressure, I don’t feel any pressure, and hopefully I can go out there and produce the goods for Australia.
