"Good we're coping with breathing now. The altitude is really high here."

"Confidence is high. We're looking forward to it."

"First of all, we are not favourites. Kenya and Zimbabwe are top favourites of the Tournament. So every game will be tough. At the moment, we are preparing for the entire today Tournament, not just one team. We will play Zimbabwe first on Saturday, then we play Uganda and Zambia to round up the day. The finals will be played on Sunday. We just want to concentrate on the next game and hopefully we'll put up a good performance."
