It's a fun day, a day which kicks off the start of our tour, it's got great tradition - Australian cricketers just love tradition - and it's been a really pleasant day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is amazing how the public steadfastly refuse to attend the third day of a match when so often the last day produces the best and most exciting cricket.
People love events - they love performances, they love music - and I think Australians are great entertainers.
It's a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It's been passed down through the generations. It's the culture of the Australian team.
It's a great privilege and an honour to have the experiences and opportunities that I do to meet extraordinary Australians right across our country who share a great generosity of spirit.
Being an Australian that's been No. 1 in the world back home playing in Australia, that's a pretty cool moment to have.
This game is something Australians really look forward to.
I love coming to Australia. It's one of my favourite places.
The joy of doing well as a batsman for your country is much more than that little joy of going for a party and enjoying music. It is a completely different high, and I get high by performances. That's what I enjoy now.
Try and understand: cricket was played by Commonwealth countries only; now it has started in other countries as well, and I am proud of that.
One-day cricket is a very important part of our play. We've got a long way to go until the next World Cup and for us it's one ruthless game after another where we can play well.
