Welcome back.
Pierre: I have had a decent season, it hasn't been perfect. One or two off games, but I back myself everytime. I think we did a good job as a team today. He (Noor) is a great talent, happy to have him in the team. It's a great vibe in the team, well led by Faf and Sammy. They have asked us to play fearless cricket. We need a couple of partnerships, it's a tricky wicket. Need to go out there and get the runs.
We have a special dance and music performance during the innings break.
