We've got a lot of stuff to work on and we'll try our best.
whilst England threw to the Super 8s, but again, that was a testing game for them.
Yeah, it was.
Still not getting our full performance right, but I guess we've got the job done now and we've got a few days to reflect on this last group stage.
We've learnt a lot, I guess, but now this is our first step and let's go again.
Is there anything you put it down to, the fact that you're not perhaps as convincing in these victories against these, let's say, smaller teams than perhaps you'd like to be?
Yeah, I guess there's loads of different things.
I actually think you look at that kind of group and these type of grounds as well and the way the guys are striking it, I thought guys like Manenti and their opening batter played really well and they struck the ball really well and I guess the wicket was a really good wicket.
I guess it's actually just a tricky stage in a World Cup.
You're nervous, you've got all kinds of nerves and the expectation and I guess, yeah, but at the end we can smile and I guess now we head to Sri Lanka and hopefully get a full performance in.
Is there a danger of being too tentative because of the worry about not doing well against a team England are expected to beat?
Yeah, of course there is.
I think there's nerves and that's normal.
We've spoken about that and I guess that's why we batted first a little bit today.
We tried to put runs on the board and we started really well at the ball, but Italy came back fighting and kept striking the ball really well.
Fantastic ground this place to bat as well.
I guess, yeah, I think now we've got our first step and now we know we come up against the top teams and hopefully we come all guns blazing and we fire.
Important contribution from yourself with bat and ball.
Yeah, we were.
Obviously, same type of situation back with Jack Cialotti.
