I'm not sure I can go that long. We'll wait and see. |
I've obviously got a psychological advantage being a spinner against those guys, with the record that I've got against South Africa. If they want to juice [the wicket] up and negate me, I'll take my 0 for 40 and we win in three days. That means a series win and a couple of days of golf. I'll take it every time. |
I've played in 120-odd Tests and the series you remember are the close ones, |
If he (Smith) wants to continue to make ridiculous statements and look like an idiot, he must just continue in this vein. |
If Ricky said to me at some stage 'look we really need you', then I would think about it, but I don't think it would ever come to that. |
If they start to get affected then everything will stop. |
If we can keep this side together and the boys continue to play the way they have - and a couple of our young players start to make some runs - we'll be as good as anyone around. |
If you're doing well it doesn't matter how old you are, ... There was all that stuff at the beginning of the series about how we wouldn't be able to stand up to back-to-back Tests. I'm the oldest in the side and I've done OK so that's rubbish. |
It didn't really worry me whatsoever what he was saying. You can take yourself too seriously, take it for a bit of fun. |
It is definitely on my mind but, if it doesn't happen, I will still be happy if we win and I take a few wickets along the way. |
It was a pretty good day, I think we are just probably slightly ahead, |
It was nice to get the record in a place where it's always been difficult. |
It will start spinning as the game goes on, and I think Ashley Giles will be a major player for England. |
It's a big blow for us. |
It's an important day, |
