The one-day series is a big challenge for us. India is a great one-day side but we are looking forward to carry forward the momentum of the Test series.
This has been a little while coming, to be honest.
I think there'll be a result and if we play like we have done there's no reason why we can't win it from this position,
I want to thank everyone, including the Australians. On a personal level, I am very happy, but it takes 24 players to make a great series.
He is very laid-back person, but there is a steely side to him and that means he has the respect of the players
I have worked hard trying to counter-act his plans. I am better for the experience, which is the great thing about playing the best side in the world.
It was a fantastic effort from three pretty young, inexperienced bowlers. To get India five down early was the key to winning the game and they deserve great credit.
The heat got to a lot of us, including me. But this is India and it was a good experience for us.
The guys are all pretty confident about their techniques,
The key was to get a good start, keep wickets in hand and we were able to do that. A lot of credit should go to the seam bowlers. They set the game up for us. It was a very flat wicket and they did a great job first up.
I just can't imagine a guy who's made more than 70 international centuries turning up at Lord's and getting booed.
