Good surface, a fast outfield on a smallish ground - that's just naturally what happens. So, I don't think you have to suddenly transform faster than you need to. I'm sure we can get batters to come in with a decent platform to launch of, we'll be good. That's probably something that we need to just focus on - making sure we're not losing wickets at stages where we feel we constantly need to be rebuilding."
