But I did not mean to say that others were going after cheap wickets as had been made out to be.
I'm not a big stats man but my stats over the last couple of years bowling on day one, two and three, stand up to any stage in my career,
I'm just a humble cricketer with no claims to omniscience or omnipotence.
Back in April I said this guy has got the X-factor about him and I think he's very, very dangerous,
That's nearly seven (wickets) a game in that time, so I must be doing something pretty right, ... If I keep bowling like I'm bowling -- and we've been playing against the best players of spin -- and I'm taking wickets at a better rate than I have in my life, then 700 is a possibility.
Criticism is never nice, but you accept it because it comes with the territory. Stories that are completely unsubstantiated and untrue are another matter,
It will start spinning as the game goes on, and I think Ashley Giles will be a major player for England.
There's a lot of thick green grass on it, and it's pretty hard.
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.
A clean sweep is a realistic dream in the coming years,
It's been a general trait of all (South Africa) captains over the years, especially Smith. That's the way they play.
It's been played in really good spirit. Everybody's clapped everyone's runs, wickets, clapped people off. I think I've been one of the most aggressive players to play. I like throwing the ball at batsmen's heads and things like that all the time and I enjoy that, but you can also play in the right spirit.

They are basically now the second best side in the world and it takes a bit of time to adapt. It is different when you approach a series and suddenly your own expectations and everyone else's expectations are that you are going to win.
