1
00:00:04,634 --> 00:00:06,789
Morgan: Yeah, the guys are good.

2
00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:12,164
We've had 6 or 7 fresh new faces come into the side who have brought a lot of energy, including myself...

3
00:00:12,164 --> 00:00:19,495
and guys who are chomping at the bit to get involved who have had a bit of time off and sort of young guys

4
00:00:19,495 --> 00:00:26,082
coming through that are keen as I said to score runs and take wickets...so...again it's a lot of guys

5
00:00:26,082 --> 00:00:28,460
excited to get ths series started, so yeah.

6
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:31,907
I mean if we look at the last one-day series the opportunities that came about...

7
00:00:31,907 --> 00:00:36,417
it was the sort of rise of a Ben Stokes and a Boyd Rankin and a Chris Jordan,

8
00:00:36,417 --> 00:00:40,775
which is magnificent they sort of grabbed great opportunities with both hands

9
00:00:40,775 --> 00:00:47,456
with the bat and ball which is great to see really in sort of preparation building for a World Cup in 2015

10
00:00:47,456 --> 00:00:53,225
it's really exciting and certainly looking at the Ashes, the excitement over the last year and the rivalry

11
00:00:53,225 --> 00:00:58,774
and the passion that's been with the two sides has certainly sparked that again I'd love to

12
00:00:58,774 --> 00:00:59,854
play Ashes Cricket.

13
00:00:59,854 --> 00:01:03,614
I think there's about 400 days before the World Cup starts and it starts here in Melbourne

14
00:01:03,614 --> 00:01:09,167
so it's really exciting that the stuff that we build and the platform that we build while we're here during

15
00:01:09,167 --> 00:01:14,016
this series is really important. It's important that we learn from any mistakes that we do make and again

16
00:01:14,016 --> 00:01:16,533
that we build confidence down this side of the world.

17
00:01:16,533 --> 00:01:17,293
Reporter: (Inaudible)

18
00:01:17,293 --> 00:01:21,164
Morgan: There is in the fact that the young guys are coming through and the opportunities are

19
00:01:21,164 --> 00:01:26,857
arising but I think with the hectic nature of the past 12 months we've had with Test cricket

20
00:01:26,857 --> 00:01:33,329
it's sort of the nature that a couple of one-day series guys have been rested here and there,

21
00:01:33,329 --> 00:01:38,000
and again it's created this opportunity, so it's fantastic for the squad, that guys who are

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,831
coming in and doing well and it allows us to sort of build a great base because we will be able to take

23
00:01:42,831 --> 00:01:47,384
15 to a World Cup and I mean it's going to be a tight squeeze picking 15 cricketers because we

24
00:01:47,384 --> 00:01:53,161
could potentially take 20...so it does create opportunities, particularly for the young

25
00:01:53,161 --> 00:01:54,611
guys coming through yeah.

26
00:01:54,611 --> 00:01:58,702
I repeat the last series that we played, we played against a very formidable Australian side

27
00:01:58,702 --> 00:02:03,770
as an inexperienced side that we put out and we certainly put up a good fight

28
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:09,244
and we were disappointed not to win that series so looking towards the 2015 World Cup

29
00:02:09,244 --> 00:02:13,097
it's a long time and we'll play a lot of cricket between now and then but certainly we've got a good platform

30
00:02:13,097 --> 00:02:15,243
with the group of players that we do have.
