I have been proud of what I have achieved right through my career but it is nice to have this sort of occasion on your 100th game. |
I have got no idea and it's not important if he does. |
I have made my thoughts on it (sledging) well known over the last couple of years. We are more than happy to be talking to opposition players in the field so long as it is not personal or abusive. |
I have never been one who has sat back and taken all the accolades when the team has gone well. I think it would be unfair if it was my fault we lose this Ashes series. |
I just don't think that will happen, I don't think we'll bat for long enough, to start with, for that to happen in this series. |
I knew Shane would do that for us. He loves that sort of occasion, and Brett bowled his heart out. |
I know I am not going to keep everybody happy along the way, but as long as I look after the guys in my dressing-room I'm okay. |
I know Shane has had some discussions with the selectors about it. He has certainly spoken to me about it going back eight to 10 months. |
I still feel we are the best team in the world in both forms of the game. |
I still rank England second, |
I think he's probably had a good look at his game and had a look at how he got out in Australia, and tried to rectify that. It's up to us to come back with something different. We've spoken about him and we know what we want to do. |
I think listening to him before the game he wanted to be more economical and not go for as many runs which probably meant he wanted to drop his pace, |
I think there's a good chance that Glenn will be OK. |
I think they've just slightly had the edge over Sri Lanka and I think Sri Lanka probably rely on too few players and I think South Africa have got more depth. |
I think we have to be really sensible the way we handle it. The guys who are fielding on the boundary, it is important that they are being sensible. We'll talk about it in the lead-up to our first game over there. |
