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.
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.

It will start spinning as the game goes on, and I think Ashley Giles will be a major player for England.
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.
I am not sure, but I think the way the South Africans play, I don't think the players are 100% per cent behind (Smith) so far because I don't think they like his tactics.
I don't like to sledge other players - but that was absolutely stupid,
With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.
I also think there's too many players who say the same boring answers, they don't even have to turn up to interviews because journalists answer their own questions the way they ask them. Unfortunately the way it is now players are so afraid to say anything, but I'd like them to be honest.
I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player.
Sachin Tendulkar is, in my time, the best player without doubt - daylight second, Brian Lara third.
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.
