As Andrew Strauss has said before both these games, nearly every tour he's ever been on, England have gone terribly in these warm-up games and don't get anything like the practise and momentum we need out of the games going into a series
Winning the series would be an incredible achievement. In some ways we are going to have to play better than we have ever played in my time as an England player to manage that. It is a bit of a step up for us and comes at a good time.
Our confidence took a huge knock before we went to Australia. It's crucial we don't allow that to happen again. I don't think it will because these are completely different circumstances. We've got a young side who are extremely driven and that comes all the way from the top with Andy Flower and Andrew ...
In some ways we will have to play better than we have played, certainly in my time as an England player ... That's a bit of a step up for us. We are all aware at this stage of our development we are not the finished product by any means.
It's something that (coach) Andy Flower and (captain) Andrew Strauss have spoken about and addressed, in the way we prepare, to try and get the consistency right. Hopefully this squad can start to do that.
The perception of the post-2005 period is that we took our eye off the ball quite badly. I'm not comfortable with that myself ... I remember that Pakistan tour and how hard we worked at it. We had a number of very crucial injuries which didn't help. If you look at our performances over the last 12 month...
The only batting fixtures in their side that I can see are Andrew Strauss, Alistair Cook and Kevin Pietersen
As captain I’m very happy that the 15 players I’ve got are committed to playing for England and representing their country and that is the way it should be.
There has been talk that Andrew Strauss might take the Bangladesh tour off next March
We only select one tour at a time and the South Africa tour is a massive one
England captain Andrew Strauss recalling Angelo Mathews and New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori withdrawing the run-out appeal against Paul Collingwood reflect the magnificent spirit in which the matches were played.
This series in South Africa is going to be a huge pointer to where we are and how far we need to go ... We say we want to be the No1 side in the world – and that's a very easy thing to talk about – but to get there means playing consistently against a hugely varied array of players and consistently comi...
It's a surprise. I didn't perform at my best in the Ashes. I seriously expected guys like Andrew Strauss to be ahead of me.
Ian Bell came in under a huge amount of pressure and in some ways had to bat ugly for one of the first times in his career, take a few blows on his body.
Andrew Strauss was right to deny Graeme Smith a runner at the climax of England's outstanding win over South Africa
The tour to South Africa is going to be a particularly testing one
Alongside the aerial photographs, there is information about each ground, the history of the county which plays there and recollections by famous cricketers of playing at their favourite ground. Interviewing these cricketers — ranging from 98-year-old Cyril Perkins to the current England captain Andrew ...
The information we have got at the moment is that he is getting better quite quickly now ... We are very hopeful he will be making the trip to South Africa, hopefully playing some part in the one-dayers and then a full part in the Test series. That is great news for us. We have sorely missed him and the...
When you lose six wickets for 100 runs, it is hard to stand in the game. We needed three-four early wickets, but didn't get. Watson and Ponting played magnificently. We have played some good cricket but Australia was too strong today
It's hard to look past Australia, it's hard to beat them. They are the defending champions. There's lot of variety in their bowling
It's hard to look past Australia ... They are on a great run and are hard to beat.
When you lose six wickets for 100 runs, it is hard to stand in the game. We needed three-four early wickets, but didn't get them. Watson and Ponting played magnificently. They did a throughly professional job. We have played some good cricket in the tournament but ultimately Australia was too strong tod...
We are all incredibly excited about taking on Australia again ... This is a great chance for us to come out and nab a victory off them and seal a place in the final.
There are some great players in there ... Sachin Tendulkar is one of the legends of the game, so to be named in that side is pretty humbling for me. It’s a pretty special thing.
