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