WHAT THEY SAY

"I'm not a massive one for momentum and what you take out of the game because come Adelaide, it's a fresh start. It's a different ground, it's a different wicket, it's a different preparation and whoever starts well there will take that momentum."

Australia coach Mickey Arthur.

- -

"We have played against quality opposition and this is just another challenge for us. There is a lot of talk about our bowling attack being number one and hopefully we can produce that."

South African paceman Morne Morkel.
