The players deserve everything which comes their way. |
The players will have to make some technical changes to do well after their win at home. |
The real test will come when I start running, twisting and bowling but I am confident I will be on the plane for India next month. |
The response the public has given us throughout the whole summer means I am not too sure cricket will ever get to the same level again. |
The right decision now is to get things sorted out fully and make sure that when I come back I'm able to play a full part. In Pakistan I felt I couldn't play to my full potential because of the knee and I certainly wasn't going to allow that to happen on this trip. |
There are not many draws between these two teams because of the manner in which both play the game. |
There were plenty of nerves in the dressing room, |
These are new conditions for a lot of our lads and they are excited about trying to do well in Pakistan, who have improved in the last year. |
They were three fantastic deliveries which got the first three wickets. We said to the lads just hang in there, try and make them get us out, |
They're young and they do enjoy their cricket, |
This has been the toughest series by a long shot |
This is going to be a challenging series for us playing in different conditions, |
This is probably the first time the knee has felt like a concern. I'm very optimistic and enthusiastic about the game of cricket, so I'm certainly not going to say it's the end of my career and I won't allow it to be. There's been older and better players than me that have spent years out of cricket with injury and come back pretty well, so, hopefully, I'll be the same. |
This is so special to come to the palace, meeting the queen here and being here with all the rest of the boys. |
This is so special to come to the palace, meeting the Queen here and being here with all the rest of the boys. She was saying she watched the series avidly - but not all the time, because it all got too tense for her and was a bit nerve-wracking. It is fantastic to be here for the whole side. |
