award bad best both couple dropped fantastic great innings lucky maybe player respect six summer win
It's fantastic for me and great to get this award on the day we win the Ashes, but respect to every player from both sides. I dropped six catches this summer so maybe it's not a bad thing I got lucky a couple of times today. That is the best innings I will ever play.

It was only stares and swearwords really, nothing serious. I just laugh about it because they can hardly speak proper English.

We're not convinced with the way we've played, our one-day performance needs consistency.
came gained great lee tried
Lee tried to kill me and that wasn't nice. I came through it and I gained great heart.
nice pitch preferred typical
The pitch was typical first day wicket, but little two-paced on one end and skidding on at the other end. I would have preferred a nice unbeaten 60 at the end of the day.
