We played well in Kenya. We didn't lose a game and we bowled Pakistan out for 100 twice. We don't need to change much from that for this tournament.

Four hundred wickets is 400 more than I thought I'd get.

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

The first thing is to be patient, which is probably the hardest thing to do. Don't worry if blokes are whacking you out of the park because you still have the opportunity to get him out next ball, even if it's not the same ball.

You have to watch India in India truly to appreciate the pressure that Sachin Tendulkar is under every time he bats. Outside grounds, people wait until he goes in before paying to enter. They seem to want a wicket to fall even though it is their own side that will suffer.

The wickets I have played on for my whole career, most of them have been to suit fast bowlers in Australia.
