But all in all I think we're in pretty good shape moving forward.
We may have been a bit too aggressive but once again we have found ourselves in a position of strength. A 140-run lead, and if we put another 60 on, a 200-run lead is very handy and a good position to be.
We're pretty happy, it was a good performance.
It felt really good. I was back to my best. The team has been a bit up and down but it was good to get five points and back in the mix.
We need an improvement in the third Test (against the West Indies), and if we finish playing six Tests still improving, then it's going to be a good series in the Republic.
Winning the toss is a good start. As we know, the super sub rule is a flawed rule and we have to make the most of it.
Mick is a very good manager. He is great behind the scenes with the players, making sure everything is in place,
We played below par today, but I still feel good about the prospects of winning the tournament.
Well, it would be exciting news if it does come off. It would be particularly good for New Zealanders, and will flow on from the Rugby World Cup success - so it was exciting to hear.
We're in pretty good shape moving forward but I think we have got to get better still. There are some areas we need to touch up - we probably need 10 runs or so more each innings and more strike-power when we bowl.
We've got a good formula going and the harder it gets to score, the tougher it gets to get in the game and we're denying them really well.
It was a good series, and we were pleased with the way we played.
Edwards is going to be a handful through the summer. He bowls at a lively pace and has a good work ethic. He looks to be a good competitor.
There were some boos and jeers about what we did. But it did not only mean we got the result we needed; it meant everyone got a spectacle when there otherwise would not have been one. After England's success this summer, the crowds need to see good games of county cricket.
We weren't good enough as we haven't been throughout the series, ... They never let us gain any momentum and we were outplayed in all departments.

It's good for us, but I'm not sure it's good for the game.
