[And what about those two Gayle sixes?] I got the length slightly wrong, a little bit too full and wide, ... He's the type of guy who can do that but he can get out just as easily. He is a dangerous batsman but I probably learned more than he did by hitting those sixes. |
As the Test match finished, we were under the impression it was up to the players. But the selectors are keen for us to play this match, so if that's the way it is, then the players are happy to play, |
Cricket now is definitely a professional sport, |
Glenn's not home, I'm waiting for him. It is now a police investigation, which means I can't say anything. |
I am aiming to be back for Trent Bridge at the worst. I am looking forward to continuing my good bowling in this series. |
I am not trying to think about the possibility that my tour might be over, but the next 48 hours should settle the issue once and for all, ... While I have more or less conceded it is highly unlikely I will be fit in time to play the third Test at Old Trafford, I still have my sights set firmly on the fourth Test at Trent Bridge. |
I don't really care much for all this 'are they closer?' I really believe that it's all about us - if we are executing our skills I don't believe there's a side that can get close to us. |
I felt good this morning, especially in that first spell and I hit my rhythm in the fifth or sixth over and then I was on my way, but I just tried to remain a bit more patient and tried to get the ball in the right areas. |
I first saw Rudolph in South Africa and I think he made a double ton against us in a tour match. He's always had that potential. He is a pretty decent player. He showed yesterday that he can bat for along time and really knuckle down and save a test match. |

I guess having been a reasonably accurate bowler in my day, I can identify with Glenn's bowling. I would certainly love to spend a few minutes with him to teach him to let the ball go with a bit more angle on the seam and every now and then make the ball bend away in the air. |
I guess it is disappointing that there are people out there that would do it, |
I know I'm public enemy No.1, but they were my letters and I'm entitled to sell them. |
I obviously want to be there for the Ashes and the World Cup, then we'll see how we go. I haven't felt better all season. That's a big positive for me. |
I think on his day he still can be (as good as ever), it depends on how he is going, how much he wants it, and how things go out in the middle, he is still a dangerous batsman. |
