AFTER DAY WRAP UP SHOW WITH MARK TAYLOR AND IAN CHAPPEL​

Ian Chappel​

Mark Taylor​

Mark Taylor: Hello and welcome to "After Stumps" I'm Mark Taylor and alongside me is Ian Chappel. Now Ian what did you think about today?

Ian Chappel: Well it clearly went in favour of Australia. They played beautifuly and Jaques proved his selection in the team by making that brilliant double hundred

Mark Taylor: Speaking of Phil Jaues here he is. Congratulations on that double hundred. It doesn't get much better than that

Phil Jaques: Yes well today was just one of those days where I was seeing the ball like a beachball

Ian Chappel: Do you think you'll be in the World Cup squad?

Phil Jaques: Well first of all I think I need to play in the up coming One Day series to prove that I do belong in the squad but then I need to continue my form in The Ford Ranger Cup

Mark Taylor:Thanks Phil. We are now joined by Duncan Fletcher, coach of England. Now Duncan what went wrong today?

Duncan Fletcher: Well our bolwing wasn't up to scratch today and there was a few misfields but really I though that the Australians were to good for us and that really showed today

Ian Chappel: What do you go to do tommorow?

Duncan Fletcher: We need to go out there and take early wickets and hopefully restrict Australia to under 450 then go out and bat and make a big score

Mark Taylor: Thanks Duncan. Thats al we have time for. We'll see you next time on "After Stumps"

Thats poor batting display by England which is obvious as KP didnt battle this time! Nice Victory for Aussies & McGrath was superb to grab 5 wkts in just 8 overs!
