It's a privilege to be on the same field as guys like Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad when they catch fire like they can do. Two of the best there has ever been.
It's very hard to reflect properly when you're still playing but the hundreds one - when I got my 23rd in Kolkata - felt the most special because it broke a benchmark that had stood for a very long time. It felt good to do something no Englishman has done before.
I like to watch batsmen who will entertain and, as things stand, an opening spell from Jimmy Anderson is about as good as it gets.
The biggest test for any cricketer in England is the weather.
I'm looking forward to the new challenge that playing T20 cricket in England will bring.
Roland-Jones is a good, old-fashioned English seamer. He's not especially quick, but he pitches the ball up and swings it away, which is always dangerous.
And my job is to look at the future of English cricket and develop a side that is capable of winning important series and tournaments in the next four years. And that is what I am going to concentrate on doing.
I think Andrew Strauss never gets enough credit for what he's done for English cricket.
You turn up to an Ashes series and put everything you can into it.
England's full of cricket tradition. I follow the game there hugely.
A lot of teams see Lord's as a special place and up their games to try to get their names on the honours' board.
In world cricket, I think Joe Root is a fine captain.
I heard a lot about Ian Botham's Ashes, in 1981. Everybody still talks about his performance.
I love playing England. The teas at Lord's are good quality.
No one has ever doubted Kevin Pietersen's abilities as a player, he has been a phenomenal player for England for a long period of time, his record stacks up to anyone's in English cricket and he should be very proud of his record.
A batsman's skill and technique are judged on how he faces the Duke ball in England
In 2004, we had a great year, with Samit Patel, Liam Plunkett, Tim Bresnan, Luke Wright, Alistair Cook. Some groups are not quite as strong.
The Ashes are the biggest Test series played in the world.
A lot of the things we do in Test cricket revolves around planning for the Ashes series down under.
I didn't have a good time with Lancashire in 2000. Probably I'd played too much cricket and should have taken a rest, but I went there when the offer came because I had always had an ambition to play the county game in England. And I was a bit jaded. And I didn't do myself justice. I want to put that right before I finish my career.
Village cricket spread fast through the land.
During my years of professional cricket in England, I realised that although the Australians were talented players, tactically they were a bit naive when compared to those who played full-time on the English circuit. You might find this arrogant, but that was the reality then.
Every young cricketer from our county dreams of playing for Yorkshire and going on to represent England.
I want to captain England in more Tests than anyone else.
For a spinner growing up in England, it is challenging to become an off-spinner. The line and length needs to be altered on each of the four days of county cricket or five days of Test matches.
