Quote
Bailey - "Yeah I am fine now (about his injury). Once again we were about 20-25 runs short. We didn't get partnerships going and that hurt our momentum. We missed a few catches and run outs too so it wasn't a great day in the field either. Sandeep bowled fantastically which gave us a chance. Credit to Russell who was too good today and I thought Yusuf was smart today with his batting, their partnership just took it away from us in no time. We have a couple of tough games coming up, probably this is the kick on the backside we need to kickstart our campaign again."
