We spoke about a number of things from conventional swing to reverse swing and different lines and lengths.
We've seen in the papers that we've been smashed by England. All credit to them: they played fantastically well. But if we actually dissect exactly what happened, it came down to a couple of edgy draws and a game where we were beaten by two runs. It was a lot closer than everyone made out.
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.
