I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. That's how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.
Sachin Tendulkar the best yesterday, today and forever
I build myself up with confidence with aggression, and confidence to control the game. If you're the bowler and you've got the ball in your hand you're controlling the game, so you've got to make sure the batsmen knows who's boss.
I am keen on helping Indian bowlers but I am not seeking a full-time role. But yes I am really keen on helping out pace bowlers across the world,
I think going to that next step of having a specialist batting coach and a specialist bowling coach would definitely be a benefit to us.
I felt like the rhythm hasn't quite been there the last couple of games. I worked pretty hard in the nets working off my long run.
He's a class act - a bloke that I thought had the perfect action. Just the way he went about his business - he had aggression when he needed it and then he could go back and bowl his line and length. He's a fantastic role model for the kids.
He's a good guitarist and has a nice voice.
Jacques Kallis is brilliant - he's also very patient, and has the ability to turn a match around. When Stuart Clark got his wicket, it set the whole snowball effect going. We were really lifted again - we'd been a bit down for a while because we weren't really playing to our normal standard. But as soon as we got that wicket, we picked up a cog, and that was great.
We spoke about a number of things from conventional swing to reverse swing and different lines and lengths.
I was nervous out there. It was pretty scary towards the end.
Whilst I am disappointed that I can't play the final match in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series, I am grateful that I can return home and give priority to getting my health right.
When you are bowling at such a high velocity and trying to get momentum through the crease and try to bowl a yorker you only look at a slight variation in your trajectory to the wicket.
I loved it. You couldn't get the smile off my face.
