I think we have set a really good foundation, |
I was a bit nervous when to take it (the final power play). We got three wickets in that period where they probably went really hard and I think that was more significant than (what happened) at the end. |
I wasn't willing to give them six points, and we got the two points which was a bonus. |
I'm not saying this as a cliche, but we have to get 12 points from the next two games. |
I've always found him a handful in first-class cricket, as I do in the nets. |
If getting out for 99 is the worst thing that happens to me in my life, I'll take it, |
If we were to lose this series 3-1, worst-case scenario, I would look back on this and say it's the best series I've ever played in, |
If you don't experience either of those, it simply means that you are not playing. |
In cricket there is great tradition, particularly Test cricket, and as long as I've played the game the 12th man was usually one of the bowlers if one of your players goes off, |
In this day of professionalism it's just another way of getting the best out of the resources that are available and are within the rules, and we can't argue with it because it's within the rules. |
It hasn't been at the cutthroat edge we're used to playing at. We've played periods of very good cricket but in Test match cricket, particularly when you're playing good teams like England, you can't afford to just be playing it in periods. |
It is different from past injuries in that the bone is actually broken. I need to give it a break and allow it to mend so that I can be ready for the rest of the season. |
It is disappointing to miss a Test match but I have to consider the best interests of the team and whilst I continue pushing so hard to be right, I am not allowing myself to heal, |
It may not be an important game for us, but we won our last one and while we're not in the hunt for the final it's important for us to keep the momentum going. |
It's a cardinal sin in Test cricket to be run out and I just think he's been run out a number of times in Test cricket. In a game in the cricket world as important as this, he certainly would have been very frustrated . . . |
