My only problem is the fear that opposition bowlers might go for my fingers and that's why I was scared of the short ball. Now I am struggling with the ball pitching up and swinging away. I just keep nicking that one.

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

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

The IPL is just pure, intense. You don't need all the other stuff. I don't believe in coaches in international cricket.

Rahul Dravid being known as 'The Wall' is pretty much spot on. 'The fortress' could also describe Rahul. Because once, Dravid was set, you needed the bowling equivalent of a dozen cannon firing all at once to blast him down.

It was bloody difficult getting followed around all the time.

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