It is definitely on my mind but, if it doesn't happen, I will still be happy if we win and I take a few wickets along the way.
The pressure's on us as far as I'm concerned. We have to play well for five days. If we don't play well, for the first time in nearly 20 years, we've lost the Ashes. Hopefully that'll make us respond and the guys will soak it up and see it as a challenge rather than fear it.
I enjoyed living in England but I have to weigh up the whole package, the travel and so on,
But when it's Glenn McGrath, arguably the best fast bowler in the world, you want to give him every chance to play and if that means it's a last-minute decision then it's a last-minute decision.
But it's very hard being on the road. It's very lonely.
If we can keep this side together and the boys continue to play the way they have - and a couple of our young players start to make some runs - we'll be as good as anyone around.
If they start to get affected then everything will stop.

The numbers have been pretty good, ... But however well I've been bowling and batting, that's irrelevant now. Now everything comes down to one match, and for me these are the situations I thrive on.
It was a pretty good day, I think we are just probably slightly ahead,
It was nice to get the record in a place where it's always been difficult.
