“I woke up this morning and I just had a funny feeling. I don’t get it very often, and especially batting middle-order you don’t get it often. But I just got a good look at their (West Indies) attack last game in Hobart, and felt like I got a good read of what they were bowling.
“I was disappointed getting out there in the same sort of scenario – short square boundaries with the ground quite similar, and another good wicket. So I felt like I’d missed out again, and I said ‘you know what, I can’t let this opportunity slip’,” he stated.
