It's his debut, he's bound to be nervous. |
It's never happened before, we're pretty pleased with the 11 that's played for us in the games so far. Over the last few years, Australia has had an 11 they play very, very regularly. If they change it, I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. We'll just have to wait and see. |
It's nice to pick up a bat again, but it's very early days so there's nothing to report. I'm just hoping for a bit of luck now. |
It's nonsense. I hope to play for a long time yet. |
It's obviously disappointing to lose Giles who is our most experienced spinner. |
It's the first net and it was nice to pick up a bat again. It's early days and I'm just getting used to jogging again. I'm just hoping for a bit of luck now. |
It's the second time in two tours that I'm going to be traveling home with an injury. This one is really similar to the one in Pakistan. Unfortunately the workload has increased on this trip and the knee hasn't withstood that. It's time to go back and see the specialist, do whatever we can and make sure I come back fitter. |
It's very hard to find a like for like replacement for Simon because the way's he's bowling, he's right up there with the best in the world at the moment. |
Its definitely not an ideal start to have had going into the Test matches. He's such a good player, and he was probably our best batsman on occasion, so it's a big blow. |
Marcus left the tour, had a few problems and an illness, now let's look forward. |
My next biggest challenge is to survive another night with Freddie. |
My warmest congratulations to you, the England cricket team and all in the squad for the magnificent achievement of regaining the Ashes. |
On our last tour of India, we came close to winning. |
Our batters, and especially our bowlers in the heat - it has been a real team effort. [on winning the South Africa series, 2005] |
Our bowlers put in an outstanding effort in the field. It was not an easy pitch to bat on, but they still put the ball in the right areas. |
