SOUNDBITE: (English) Brad Haddin, Australian wicket-keeper (on Michael Clarke):

"Michael has been strong for the team for a long time. I think he's a tremendous captain and we want our captain out there playing. All signs that he's going in the right direction and, and we're like everyone else, we want Michael out there leading our team on when.... the first hour of play out here in Adelaide."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Brad Haddin, Australian wicket-keeper:

"We enjoyed being back in training yesterday. It was good to be around and getting your skills back out there. That's what we're good at, is playing the game. So, I don't think you need to look too deep into what's going to happen. You're going to get a cricket game here on Tuesday, you'll enjoy it and so will we."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Brad Haddin, Australian wicket-keeper:

"We get back to playing the game we love. I don't think we need to complicate any more than that. You get back to playing cricket. We all love the game, that's why we're all sitting here now. It's a great game, it's been good to so many of us. So, our job is to go and play cricket, and enjoy that. We need the support of, the Australian public and everyone leading into this first Test. We're looking forward to playing, and we need the help of everyone to enjoy the moment and just enjoy the game of cricket."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Brad Haddin, Australian wicket-keeper:

"We just got back to cricket. We can try to complicate it as much as we want, but we got back to cricket training. Everyone did what they needed to do yesterday. We got a bit of volume and a bit of miles in our legs. We needed to feel that cricket hurt in our legs again, so we got that yesterday and yes, it was a good day back training."
