We've seen in the papers that we've been smashed by England. All credit to them: they played fantastically well. But if we actually dissect exactly what happened, it came down to a couple of edgy draws and a game where we were beaten by two runs. It was a lot closer than everyone made out.
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.
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 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.
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.
