I couldn't care about my own hundred, it was all about winning the series. It was a great wicket, but there was no way they should have scored as many runs as they did.

I couldn't help thinking during the past two Tests that it's been very rare that we've been well and truly outplayed for the majority of two matches in a row and found ourselves under pressure for long periods, ... And basically suffering what other teams normally face against us. It's almost as if we've become those opposition teams, and England has suddenly become Australia.

I don't know what he was trying to achieve out of it, whether he was trying to get under our skin and unsettle us a bit. But when you make statements like he has, then it puts you under a bit more pressure yourself. I guess sitting here right now we've had the last laugh.

I don't know. I haven't thought about it,
|
I don't need to say much about a track where someone like Clarke can take six wickets in no time.
|
I don't think there's anything lost by going back.
|
I expect the wicket down there to be fairly slow and a bit bouncy on the first day and then flatten out and start turning later in the game.
|
I felt like I started pretty well and probably got worse as the innings went on,
|
I guess at different times if they can't (execute plans) well then it might look like I have done something wrong or I am doing something wrong,
|
I guess it's disappointing for that kind of stuff to be coming out now,
|
I had a bit of luck early on, obviously. I probably should have been caught at third slip on zero ...but there wasn't one there. I was dropped on a pretty easy chance not long after. It was a bit of luck along the way.

I had a bit of luck, I should have been caught at third slip when I had two but Graeme (Smith) didn't have a third slip. Then I was dropped on 17 and it was a pretty straightforward catch.

I had said then that it was the biggest upset in the history of cricket. I can't say for sure whether that is true but it definitely has been the biggest disappointment for me.
