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

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.

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

With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.

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.

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

I am no dummy, mate, that's for sure.
