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

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

I'm proud of what I've achieved in cricket, as once I didn't think I was good enough.

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

I think when two people get together, their past is their past. Their reputations are reputations. You can only take someone the way you find them... on face value. I think that was how we were both, the way we were.

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.

My life was falling apart and then to come out and play and have my best ever - 40 wickets, 250 runs... But the only reason I could do that was because of the way I thought and I think I'm pretty strong mentally. I think I am anyway, pretty strong to get over whatever it is.
