Graham Thorpe Australia Quotations

I think England have matched them on a competitive level. I think Australia know that now, and the closer it gets that Australia can lose the Ashes, the more it will play on their minds.

I think England can go into the fourth Test buoyed by their performances already and are in a situation now where they have Australia on the rack, ... England can go on and win both matches.

I think we have to try to be as annoying as we can, and take points off Australia to give ourselves an opportunity of the big prize at the end of it.

The sides are pretty well matched. You probably look at the spin department, Australia are holding the edge in that department. But you could say it's pretty tight looking at the batting line-ups and the seam attacks.

England versus Australia is the biggest thing in cricket - it's like the US vs. Russia at ice hockey.

This side has probably got a good four or five years, but Australia don't have that. This Australia side is the best they can put on the park, and they are at their peak.
