It will go down as one of the great moments in sportsmanship. He could have hugged his mates and celebrated, but he chose to put his arm around me.

But once I was out there I felt in control of the situation, adrenalin kicks in and you know what your job is, although when Warne is bowling like that it's tricky.

I can be your hero baby . . . I can wash away your pain.

I think going to that next step of having a specialist batting coach and a specialist bowling coach would definitely be a benefit to us.

He's a good guitarist and has a nice voice.

I build myself up with confidence with aggression, and confidence to control the game. If you're the bowler and you've got the ball in your hand you're controlling the game, so you've got to make sure the batsmen knows who's boss.

I reckon he's fantastic. The only thing he needs to do is learn to bowl good length. He's not bowling his yorker enough. The way I understand is that they're being coached to concentrate on the top of the off stump.

Whilst I am disappointed that I can't play the final match in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series, I am grateful that I can return home and give priority to getting my health right.

I loved it. You couldn't get the smile off my face.
