Gibson admits to fatigue factor

"More tired than anything else," Gibson said. "Everybody, throughout the day when they were called on, really put it in. It meant that at the back end, a little bit of fatigue started to set in and fatigue sometimes plays with the mind. But overall, the guys stayed strong for most of the day. A really good partnership was formed between Watling and Craig and we just have to ride that out.

"That's what Test cricket is all about. That's what I have been preaching for a long time. Curtly Ambrose has come in and he's saying the same thing. That's why it's called Test cricket. It tests your character, your fitness levels, your skills. The way Watling and Craig played this evening meant that we needed to be a little more skillful. The guys got a little bit tired, you could see that. But we come back tomorrow, hopefully the rain stays away and we get the job done."
