not thinking about it as a problem and as Stuart [Law] said, everyone should be excited and I'm sure they're interested to do well in the Test. They [Zimbabwe] are getting good practice against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 A and Australia A. They will be prepared so we'll
have to play our best cricket."
