Watching some of the bowlers' actions today, I think I might have created a monster.

It's a nice town, especially if you don't bring your wives, because then it is a very expensive trip for you.

We actually want to thank Kepler Wessels. He gave us the motivation.

You were out first ball, run out in the next innings and now you have been shot! What a terrible, terrible first tour!

It was another great innings today. He's a pain in the backside, to be honest.

He's come of age I think, and I have just aged. I have never been hit on my head before.

Next season I'll need a bullet-proof chest pad as Gayle is hitting them like a rocket.

England's first series since the Ashes euphoria of four months ago may feel more like a 'come as you are' street party than a suited-and-booted city pageant.

The captains... say it's a batting wicket, bowlers have no chance. They don't have the bowlers to have a chance

How many wickets has he got? 792. He's confident then, one more Test.

Generally when you find bushes of grass on a pitch it is clearly evident it would behave uneven.

The sad thing is, I'm not sure whether the Sri Lankan board knows I'm completing 20 years today.

I was actually supporting Sri Lanka. My superstition is that whenever I support India, we lose. So I was supporting Sri Lanka.

Off the field he is a little kitten: he speaks the right thing, comes and says 'sorry for this and that' but my message to him is he cannot come off the field and apologise. It is too late.

If there's an appealing XI, Sangakkara would be captain of that as well

If T20 becomes the yardstick for judging players, then Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar won't be India's greatest in the past three decades. That honour would probably go to Yuvraj Singh and Yusuf Pathan.

His variation seems unreal, he could snare 500 wickets by the time people are able to figure him out.

Even in Sinhalese he's very quiet. The only time he's bubbly is when you ask him to come and bowl.

I'll just ask Mahela if he will lend Mendis for a couple of practice sessions.

Vaas is so slow. To be honest, you tend to play before the ball actually reaches you ... It's not any swing or anything ... [it's just] lack of pace. He is a smart bowler as well so you have to give him credit.

I am on the ICC now ... I am not the same guy who would speak out on something like this issue. We agreed the ICC president would discuss this. I cannot comment.
