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.
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,
You look at the form of them since the Ashes series, they have won only one Test match.
I've played in 120-odd Tests and the series you remember are the close ones,
After every Test match, we've both been celebrating together.
This ground has special memories for me. I have never lost a Test match here and there have been some pretty special individual moments for me here as well,
I love Sri Lanka. I played couple of Tests against India in 1991-92, in Australia, and then I came here for my first overseas tour in 1993.
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.
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.
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 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.
