Steve Smith | Captain of Freedom: (You had them 17/2. What do you think has changed since then?) No, they had a good partnership there. Tromp and Fletcher played really good serves and got them into the game. But I think our bowlers did a good job. It was a bit of a slower wicket than we’ve probably played here in the last few years. And I think the bowlers executed their plan quite well, restricting them to 190. So yes, we thought that was something we could chase, but it didn’t happen. (On the bat side, we saw a few changes in the order. Lahiru and Ben got promotions. What was the reason for that?) We had left-handers matching up with shorter players, so we wanted to try and make the most of that. I thought they both gave good little cameos. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to put us out of action tonight. (You guys have a busy weekend ahead of you. What do you wish for the group when you get in?) I think there are two really important games for us right now. So yeah, back-to-back weekends, day games. We need to beat them, and that’s our job.
