As a Test cricketer you expect that at times you're going to be heckled, and you must have a thick skin.

You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he walks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just waves it around like it's a toothpick.

My plan, when I walked out on to the field on Friday morning, was to just enjoy myself because when I'm smiling and having fun I generally bowl my best.

I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. That's how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.

Since the start of the Ashes I have had a hectic workload. I've played almost every game, but I'm thinking that after South Africa and the Bangladesh series I can clock off for two or three months. It's like Friday afternoon for a guy who goes to work all week.

If you can’t get the wicket of Rohit Sharma, you are struggling in life

Sachin Tendulkar is a guy you don't want to chat to period, because he will knuckle down...

If u can't get along with Dravid, u're struggling in life

I build myself up with confidence with aggression, and confidence to control the game. If you're the bowler and you've got the ball in your hand you're controlling the game, so you've got to make sure the batsmen knows who's boss.

Growing up, you look at guys like Jeff Thomson as heroes, so going past him is pretty special.

It's always a fine line. If you overdo (aggression) it's 'ugly Australians', but if you have a smile on your face it's Australia being too nice.

Sachin Tendulkar the best yesterday, today and forever
