Disappointing for us today. I think Wed spoken about it before we have started this competition, that youre going to have to win a lot of games, and that no different for us now. It probally puts a little more pressure on these remains games, but I think that a good thing. We know exactly where we stand and what we have to do. Well go and reflect on this game. There was still some things that went well in bot innings, but we know in this competition you capt just play just play half a game.
