morning team party
I am not bound by material things. It's being successful that drives me forward. I love success. I don't wake up in the morning thinking 'Great - I've got one million pounds in the bank'. I wake up happy because I am a successful part of a successful team. It's that success that brings all the media coverage, the first-night parties, the endorsements. I will never lose sight of that. It has come very quickly - sooner than even I expected. But it's great to know that if I continue in the same vein, then I can do exactly what I want with the rest of my life. I will be financially secure.

hands last nervous
In all my life, my hands have never been perspiring as much as they did when I went up to get that award. In the whole series, even on the last day at the Oval, I was not as nervous as then.
The England team is a team that never, ever stops.
India buzzes for its players and that makes you feel special.
