“We’ll take a victory. That was a good turnaround for us. A fantastic performance. We had a couple of meetings to wrap up from last night. We rose to our feet. I’m very pleased with the bowlers. They made my life easier by picking up wickets. I wasn’t juggling too much because they did an excellent job. There’s a massive barrier out there. We needed to remember the left-right combination “Miller stated this during a post-match presentation.
