"Booing is part and parcel of cricket"

Marcus North said: "It is part and parcel of the game now."

North said: "A lot of us get booed out there. That is the home ground advantage I guess."

"The atmosphere when playing Test cricket here is great even though, without a doubt, the crowd is into us."

"When England come and play in Australia, it is exactly the same for them so it is part and parcel of the game now."

"The atmosphere is great and it is a pleasure to walk out and play Test cricket in front of 20,000 England supporters who actually appreciate the cricket that is being played."

North said: "Obviously it was very disappointing not to get the extra four runs, but very satisfying to have that partnership with Michael Clarke which puts us all in a positive mood for what lies ahead after drawing the game."
