I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player.

I just play because I love playing and I try and take as many wickets as I can.

We've just got to be careful - with all sports, let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time, but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.

Sachin Tendulkar is in my time the best player without doubt - daylight second, Brian Lara third.

With Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, it was better to be friends and make them smile rather than wind them up.

Sachin Tendulkar is the hardest batsman I've ever had to bowl to because he judges the length a lot quicker than anyone else.

Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.
