While we're still out there we're still a fighting chance.

We are all together and can spend some time with our partners again, which is great. With this time together and in a more relaxed atmosphere, it is going to be positive for the squad.

The issue has come up throughout the series. I don't want to delve too deep but cricket has a great tradition of 12th men being bowlers or whatever, but generally the English are much smarter than Australians, and in the day of professionalism I suppose it is just getting the best out of the resources available within the rules. ... I would be surprised if there was not a twist left in this game.

It hasn't been at the cutthroat edge we're used to playing at. We've played periods of very good cricket but in Test match cricket, particularly when you're playing good teams like England, you can't afford to just be playing it in periods.

We can take a lot of positives from just being here in Scotland.

Hopefully he's put seeds of doubt into the minds of England - perhaps for the whole series.

The main thing [we got] out of this game, it might sound silly, was a bit of togetherness.

We haven't played well through this series but we've fought all the way and we're hanging in by the skin of our teeth. While you're still hanging in you're a chance to win a Test match.
