We worked really hard in the off-season, fixing some things. We were really ready to come here. Felt like we left no stone unturned, we just didn’t perform well tonight. We found it very difficult, South Africa bowled very well, slowed down the pace and they made it difficult for us to take risks. After half the game, we thought it was 140-150, but South Africa batted so well and it felt like it was a completely different wicket.
