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.
We're quietly confident but a couple of quick wickets early and the West Indies are right in the game,
I'm happy about the record, but more pleased I got a couple of crucial wickets when we needed them.
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've slept with a couple of people and made some poor choices and put things in jeopardy with [...] what I was happy with, and that's my own fault. I've got no one else to blame about that stuff.
I've played in 120-odd Tests and the series you remember are the close ones,
Criticism is never nice, but you accept it because it comes with the territory. Stories that are completely unsubstantiated and untrue are another matter,
Every time there's been a script written, I've just about done it. I suppose I'm allowed one that I don't get every now and then.
Even though we are the home side, the pressure will be on England. I can't remember how long it is since they reached the final of a leading tournament, so there will be so much expectation on them now.
Everybody would like to know where they stand and what the side is as early as possible, which helps everyone prepare,
At the moment we're still the best side in the world,
At the moment my kids are the most important thing to me,
There have been little tiny things where England have outplayed us, ... With 20 runs more, we might have won the last Test. And even at Old Trafford, if we had contained England to 25 fewer runs we probably would have won.
I wasn't that happy with the way I bowled, I struggled for rhythm, I even bowled a few no-balls and things like that.
