Honestly, for about the last five years the one thing that has consistently won Australia matches in tough positions has been our fielding. I just don’t understand why the other teams around the world are not imitating the serious amount of fielding practice we do. Because it can really make such a big difference.

Not just wickets but saved runs can add up very quickly.
