Tim Paine pleased with unbeaten record

"Really happy. Anytime you win a Test by an innings, you have done a lot right. We have started well and to maintain our record at Gabba is excellent. Very pleasing. Throughout winter we relied on Steve really heavily. We have some real quality in our batting w and it is all about putting it toger in middle. Fantastic to see Davey back over from his struggles in England. We knew Davey in Australia is a different proposition and he played superbly. y (Warner and Burns) have a really good connection and you can see that even with ir running. y love batting toger and set tone for us in Test match. Everyone in team is really proud and happy for Marnus. y ( bowlers) were pretty good but we hold m to high standards and would have liked to clean m up earlier today but two guys in middle batted well and ball also got soft. We kw we have an excellent attack and once again y have gotten us 20 wickets", said Australia's skipper Tim Paine
