"I'm just taking it in my stride, but when you sit back and think about it it's pretty ridiculous. I'm here now and just keep going. It would be nice to have a couple of performances for Australia, but the World Cup is still a long while away. And if I have a good IPL then there's every chance I could be in that World Cup squad." he was quoted as saying by 'Perth Now'.

"I think what I did in the Big Bash is hopefully going to be good enough. I can use the confidence from that finals series to go in and hopefully perform tomorrow night, and if I get the opportunity at Optus (Stadium in Perth) to perform there as well. I'm looking forward to the challenge, and I've got some confidence going into the game definitely." he said.
