Not scoring one for the whole calendar year last year was a bit disappointing but I didn't really feel any pressure to get my first one as skipper,.

If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair.

I have made my thoughts on it (sledging) well known over the last couple of years. We are more than happy to be talking to opposition players in the field so long as it is not personal or abusive.

I was disappointed over my dismissal, given that it was at a crucial stage of the game and I had worked very hard to get to that point,.

It's always good to win a Test match and if you win it comfortably, it can leave a few psychological marks on opposition sides.

I think we've been a lot more disciplined with our bowling. Our batting at times has been more disciplined as well.

Although we lost it has been a great Test and one of the best I have ever played in. Hopefully the next one will be exactly the same.

Ganguly is a very good leader. His return to the field brings a spring in the steps of the Indians. He is a great player.

I know when I've been playing a lot of golf it takes me a while to get back into cricket again. It's not so much the different shape of the swings, more the fact that you are stationary when you hit a golf ball. In cricket you have to move forward or back, which is an instinctive timing thing.

To have a week off in the middle of the season feels like a lot longer I think, so I feel really good. Hopefully I can go out there and get some runs.

I had big shoes to fill, but the way we have been playing has made the transition easy.

I was always fiercely determined and driven to succeed.

How much golf I actually play depends on whom you ask. My wife says I'm out there every day. If you ask me, the cricket is getting in the way of the golf.
