In all my life, my hands have never been perspiring as much as they did when I went up to get that award. In the whole series, even on the last day at the Oval, I was not as nervous as then.

The pitch was typical first day wicket, but little two-paced on one end and skidding on at the other end. I would have preferred a nice unbeaten 60 at the end of the day.

These are amazing scenes and it's fantastic what is happening to English cricket, ... I'm taking it all in and this is great for the game of cricket.
