“The shorter the game is then the bigger the chance of an upset.”
“The best player I've played with would be Graeme Swann, just because he's proved that regular finger-spinners can take wickets in international cricket for England.”
“I think that the older I get, the more I play, you realise when it's your time.”
“It is a proud moment to lead England out any time you do and on a world stage it gives it an extra oomph as well but it will be down there with the biggest lows if we don't win.”
“I play cricket for the competitive side of it.”
“When I watch sport I like to see the likes of Wayne Rooney when they show a bit of passion. It shows they really care when they're playing for their club and their country.”
“I need to keep moving my game forward, because Test batsmen will keep moving their games forward.”
“If someone wants to try to hit a spinner over mid-on, with the ball turning away from the blade, there is a chance of taking a wicket.”
“Our training schedule can change quite a bit throughout the year - if you're going into quite a heavy Test match workload a lot of it's based on recovery and a lot of aerobic work is done in that period.”
“I turned out to be a very good cement-mixer.”
“I really like watches and have about eight.”
“It's very important in international cricket to be able to hold a bat, not just hold up an end, but have the ability to score runs.”
“I am more aggressive than others, being a sportsman.”
“You have got to try to make the batsman feel a bit uncomfortable to get him out.”
“I have watched games at the Gabba since I was a youngster, staying up for the first 10 minutes until I fell asleep.”
“You have to have a part of you like that as a bowler - that fire in you to keep going.”
“If you are the sort of character who likes to feel you are in a battle, then make sure you do that.”
“International cricket and Test cricket in particular is hard and you are going to get injuries but, if you've got a strong pool of players to pick from who can all come in and do a job, well that can only be a good thing for English cricket.”
“When you are performing at the top level you don't get many chances to go back to basics as you are in elite performance mode. It's hard to break your technique or action down when it always needs to be at a match intensity.”
“Marcus Trescothick. No question. I hate bowling to him. I pitch it up, he drives me through the covers. I bowl back of a length, he runs me down to third-man. I go short, and he lifts me over the keeper or pulls me for four.”
