“It will be one of our best Test match victories. Having never won here, it’s right up there with all the victories we have had,”
“It’s hard to compare Tests which you win elsewhere. Hard to rank these Tests. Every Test match has it’s own relevance and importance. The game in Gabba. The last time Australia lost there was 1988, I think. It became their fortress and the way we won that Test was important,” the skipper said.
