I have felt very frustrated and I would have hoped that my influence in the dressing room might have lifted some of the weight off the shoulders of the captain and coach.

England are going to attack by bowling a foot outside off stump.

There are times when you can get away with a chirp at the batsman and there are times when you should just be quiet. This was one of those times.

But I'm passionate about being involved at the highest level of the game, whether it is with England or South Africa.

Sourav has got a huge role to play in Indian cricket and its success. I hope certainly that he gets back in there because he is a hell of a good player and he still has got too much to offer to Indian cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the world

In my several years of international cricket, Tendulkar remains the best batsman I have ever bowled to. It's been a pleasure to bowl at the master batsman even though one hasn't always emerged with credit from the engagements.

We must maintain the pace and pressure at both ends.

I want to put the whole matter behind me, and carry on working with the high performance structures in South Africa.

I have given much thought to the matter, and have withdrawn my application for the England bowling coach post.
