Strauss played very well. He hung in there and toughed it out.
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.
It will start spinning as the game goes on, and I think Ashley Giles will be a major player for England.
I think in the back of their (England's) minds they will think they have played very well but we have held on for the draw and only lost by two runs when we were outplayed,
I don't like to sledge other players - but that was absolutely stupid,
It's been played in really good spirit, ... Everybody's clapped everyone's runs, wickets, clapped people off. I think I've been one of the most aggressive players to play. I like throwing the ball at batsmen's heads and things like that all the time and I enjoy that, but you can also play in the right spirit.
The one thing I'll remember from this series is the way it's been played and the spirit it's been played in.
Gamesmanship, banter, trash talk, sledging... whatever you call it, has been part of cricket for a long time. We will play hard to win and anybody who plays us will be tested both physically and mentally. If they aren't up to it, we'll win easily.
If we can keep this side together and the boys continue to play the way they have - and a couple of our young players start to make some runs - we'll be as good as anyone around.
I've played in 120-odd Tests and the series you remember are the close ones,
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.
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).
He was trying to be funny but he's the one we'll probably look back at next year and I bet we'll be laughing at him like we did tonight.
All Graeme Smith did was say some ridiculous stuff.
