I think he's a class player. He's proven he's one of the best fast bowlers for as long as we've been playing and I'm sure he'll be in the World Cup and lead the attack as he always has and do well. He's a big-match player, when the World Cup comes around McGrath will take the new rock and do extremely well. I don't think there's any doubt about Glenn McGrath being there.
But when it's Glenn McGrath, arguably the best fast bowler in the world, you want to give him every chance to play and if that means it's a last-minute decision then it's a last-minute decision.
At the moment we're still the best side in the world,
They are basically now the second best side in the world and it takes a bit of time to adapt. It is different when you approach a series and suddenly your own expectations and everyone else's expectations are that you are going to win.
That's nearly seven (wickets) a game in that time, so I must be doing something pretty right, ... If I keep bowling like I'm bowling -- and we've been playing against the best players of spin -- and I'm taking wickets at a better rate than I have in my life, then 700 is a possibility.
There are two ways of looking at it, like a heavyweight title fight if Bangladesh beat Australia in a one-day game they'd be the best side in the world,
I think Cameron is a future Australian Test player, provided he sticks to the way he plays and doesn't try to be someone different.
I think they will be disappointed they are not 2-1 up. I think the pressure is on England and not Australia. At the end of the day, they have to win. We only have to win one (of the last two tests).
I think everyone out there thinks that there's been hundreds and hundreds and thousands of women. That is not actually the case.
Over the last few years especially there haven't been a lot of five-day Test matches, so you're not exploiting the conditions late (in the) fourth day and fifth day,
I think he would be the first to say he had a bit of luck, ... He hung in there and toughed it out, which is one of the hallmarks of the series.
It didn't really worry me whatsoever what he was saying. You can take yourself too seriously, take it for a bit of fun.
It is definitely on my mind but, if it doesn't happen, I will still be happy if we win and I take a few wickets along the way.
I wouldn't be prepared to say that. It would have been very nice to see Shane captain, and where he's had a chance to captain the side he's done very well.
