       Henry says today I just got it right, don't know how but I did
       it wasn't really a bad injury, just some inflamation in my knee
        which has settled down over the fast few days, it wasn't a career
        threatening injury
       Comm; which wicket gave you most satisfication
       It must have been Graeme Hick
       I planned to bowl it in that area and it came off
       I'll cherish this match for a long time
