We haven't batted well. We had the chance to score big runs. The way [Mohammad] Ashraful and Shahriar [Nafees] were playing, we thought we could score something around 230 or 240. If you can score 230 or 240 it would have been a good match .
It's important that we come back tomorrow. We have to come back strongly.
He has some problems with his consistency but he has been batting well.
Ricky Ponting
We did what we had to do today after an untidy start for us. Andrew Symonds and Brad Hogg bowled very well again for us.
It was. The wicket was dry enough this morning, but I thought with the overhead conditions, the ball would have swung more, but it wasn't like that and the spinners did their job, and I'm very happy with that.
They're not bad players those two, when they got going and get their backs up. And, as the series goes on, we should see us making bigger totals.
Andrew Symonds
It was a nice surface to bowl spin on today. It would have been more difficult for us if they had got some more runs. I have to bowl to the conditions, but it's nice to bowl well. We are starting to get into the full stride now.
