I just don't think that will happen, I don't think we'll bat for long enough, to start with, for that to happen in this series. [on the possibility of Hayden reclaiming the world record for most test runs in an innings] This England side [2004-5] have a different feel to them. They have a bit of a winning habit and winning culture which they haven't had for a while. They're [England] number two in the world now and have played excellent cricket of late, and I think both sides match up particularly well. I have made my thoughts on it (sledging) well known over the last couple of years. We are more than happy to be talking to opposition players in the field so long as it is not personal or abusive. We've got a lot of thinking and a lot of work to do and not much time to do it. [After being totally humiliated by Bangladesh in a one dayer, 2005] It will probably not be a good idea to read the papers in the morning Although we lost it has been a great Test and one of the best I have ever played in. Hopefully the next one will be exactly the same. [on losing by two runs to England, Edgbaston, Ashes 2005] The brand of cricket has been really aggressive, stand-and-deliver stuff. |
