I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player.

I've slept with a couple of people and made some poor choices and put things in jeopardy with [...] what I was happy with, and that's my own fault. I've got no one else to blame about that stuff.

I also think there's too many players who say the same boring answers, they don't even have to turn up to interviews because journalists answer their own questions the way they ask them. Unfortunately the way it is now players are so afraid to say anything, but I'd like them to be honest.

I think we have got the wood on South Africa, but that does not mean they are not a good team. They intimidate a lot of teams but we intimidate them. There is no disrespect for South Africa they are a very good team.

The reason why I have lost weight is that I looked at the international schedule and thought that I wanted to play for another two years. It is a very hectic schedule and if I want to get through that then I have to be in the best shape that I can.

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.

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

I still eat pizzas, I still like pies, I still have spaghetti hoops for breakfast... but it's in moderation now.

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

Find a way to get back in to the game, find a way to build a partnership, find a way to catch a ball, find a way to stop it.
