I remember playing a Twenty20 game in Australia in 2007 and Matthew Hayden smacked one back at me.

Having two bowlers who can exceed 90 mph is a mouth-watering prospect - and something batsmen will not relish one bit.

The Oval 2018 was one of the most extraordinary Tests I've been involved with.

I remember my first meeting with Alastair Cook clearly. The entire Lancashire side, some of them pretty mild-mannered, really laid into him. He'd just scored a double-hundred for Essex against Australia in a warm-up match before the 2005 Ashes. For some reason, we all assumed he must be really arrogant.

I'll tell you something about Glenn McGrath - he was a much better bowler than me. This is not false modesty.

But you have to simulate match situations. What about when the ball is 60 overs old, the sun is blazing down, the pitch is flat and there's not a hint of movement?

I've spent most of my life watching fast bowlers - initially as a kid on TV and later in the flesh when I started playing top-level cricket.

The time to think about personal achievement is at the end of your career.

I've played in Test matches before after injury without first playing a county game or warm-up of some sort.

I first got into cricket by watching Test matches on TV and listening to overseas tours on the radio. The sport really grabbed me - and it didn't matter that England weren't hugely successful back then.

Lord's is such a special place and to get my first and now my 500th wickets here is something that will live with me for a long time.
