[VIDEO] "Our batting has gone to another level, fielding has been very disappointing": Mickey Arthur
Mickey Arthur presser quotes after the series against England:
"Mohammad Amir trained yesterday, it was the first time he was allowed to train. He had another one today. If selected, he'll be ready"
"In terms of selection, Inzi and I will talk tomorrow to finalise the squad"
"We've got until the 23rd to finalise the squad"
"At the moment, Abid Ali is in the squad and he's the reserve opener and wicket-keeper"
"Fielding has been very disappointing, it's been the massive difference between the two sides"
"At Southampton and Nottingham, going into the last 5 overs it was anyone's game. We competed really well and the one difference was our fielding which is a worry. We're putting a hell of a lot of effort into it and there's not a massive amount of reward. We'll keep knocking away just to make sure that we get it up to speed"
"You don't want to single out players but we have a couple of young, new players who weren't part of that regime and we're trying to equip them and bring them up to speed as quickly as we can"
"Grant Bradburn is doing a wonderful job. We always say fielding is about attitude, and wanting to get out there and get it done. Our boys' attitude has been outstanding through the series and for the years before, they know where they're short and they're working damn hard at it"
"We were beaten at Edgbaston hands down at the CT in the group stage and I didn't know where to turn that day. We sit here today having taken a huge amount of positives out of the series. I thought our batting has gone to another level, I thought we batted extremely well. Our bowling has been average at best, and our fielding has been average but we've batted well so there's a lot of positives"
"People coming to England said we were a 280 team, we've dispelled that. That's given our batting unit a massive amount of confidence. I'm taking a fair amount of positives out of that department from the series"
"We've played against a team that's #1 in their own conditions"
"We've got a couple of days to regroup, 2 warmup games and then we go. I'm very confident with the players we've got. We need to sharpen up on a couple of disciplines but we'll get there, we'll be good"
"All I know is that the players are very determined to do well. The players play for 210 million people every time they go out there. We all take defeats in a disappointing way as our supporters do. The players are good, we'll be ready come the first game against WI. I'm as confident that we'll do well as I've ever been"
