00:00:04.634 --> 00:00:06.789
Morgan: Yeah, the guys are good.

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...

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

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

00:00:26.082 --> 00:00:28.460
excited to get ths series started, so yeah.

00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:31.907
I mean if we look at the last one-day series the opportunities that came about...

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,

00:00:36.417 --> 00:00:40.775
which is magnificent they sort of grabbed great opportunities with both hands

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

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

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

00:00:58.774 --> 00:00:59.854
play Ashes Cricket.

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

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

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

00:01:14.016 --> 00:01:16.533
that we build confidence down this side of the world.

00:01:16.533 --> 00:01:17.293
Reporter: (Inaudible)

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

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

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,

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

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

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

00:01:47.384 --> 00:01:53.161
could potentially take 20...so it does create opportunities, particularly for the young

00:01:53.161 --> 00:01:54.611
guys coming through yeah.

00:01:54.611 --> 00:01:58.702
I repeat the last series that we played, we played against a very formidable Australian side

00:01:58.702 --> 00:02:03.770
as an inexperienced side that we put out and we certainly put up a good fight

00:02:03.770 --> 00:02:09.244
and we were disappointed not to win that series so looking towards the 2015 World Cup

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

00:02:13.097 --> 00:02:15.243
with the group of players that we do have.
