again allow career certainly date full happen pakistan possibly potential quickly
I can't possibly set a date as to when I will play again but I want to try to get my career back as quickly as I can. I couldn't play to my full potential in Pakistan and I certainly couldn't allow that to happen on this trip.
bat bit days early hoping luck nice pick
It's nice to pick up a bat again, but it's very early days so there's nothing to report. I'm just hoping for a bit of luck now.
against australian bodies both came cricket dominated fantastic few game great kept match minds nation pleased series talking team teams three tired tough weeks within written
It was a fantastic game of cricket and we came within a wicket of going 2-1 up. I'm very pleased with the team and the way we dominated the whole match against a tough Australian side. Three weeks ago we were written off and 5-0 we kept hearing. There are a few tired bodies and minds on both teams but it's great the way this series has got the nation talking about it.
against gone proud team
I'm thrilled. I'm proud of this team. If we'd gone 2-0 down in the series, against a team like Australia, we couldn't have come back from there.
best conditions cricket type
It's a different type of cricket and we're going to have to be at our best to get used to the conditions quickly.
again beaten leading next team
If you've beaten the leading team once, you can beat them again -- that's the next challenge.
best extremely hard simon
That's a big loss, he's bowled extremely well. It's very hard to find a like-for-like replacement for Simon because of the way he's bowled. He's probably up there with the best in the world at this minute,
against best forward looking playing summer team
It's a summer I'm looking forward to, because we're playing against the best team there has ever been
best definitely good ideal start test
Its definitely not an ideal start to have had going into the Test matches. He's such a good player, and he was probably our best batsman on occasion, so it's a big blow.
believe few hopefully runs score work
I'm confident. I believe I've done the right work at home. Hopefully it will go well and I will score a few runs and take it from there.
bit few fine four indoors knee last luck rehab running since soft stays sure weeks
The knee is all right. It's been four weeks since the operation. I've done rehab and I've just started running indoors on soft surfaces in the last few days. You need a little bit of luck but if that stays with me I'm sure I will be fine for the tour.
both cannot centre shall situation surrounded
Am surrounded both sides. My centre cannot hold. Situation excellent. I shall attack.
