View Photo »We tend to divorce ourselves from a one-day series defeat if we thereafter prepare for a Test series and I'm sure South Africa will do the same
I’ve been very impressed with Andrew Strauss ... The captaincy has had a very positive influence on his batting. It’s gone to a different level. With Pietersen injured, he’s been the number one player in the England side.
Winning the one-day series in Australia was quite a big highlight, given it had been such an arduous and difficult tour
Crowds cheer the home side and by the time they realise that Trott has emerged from the pavilion alongside Andrew Strauss they can hardly switch into hostile mode. Graeme Smith and his colleagues might think they were booing them
Andrew is an intelligent guy, with a lot of common sense ... He's provided a lot of stability for England and has gone about it the way we have expected. We've managed to keep a little hold on him in terms of his batting - he still hasn't scored a fifty against South Africa in one-day cricket, but he's ...
It's nice to be involved. I know that I'm going as number two keeper. But it's a great chance for me in nets to impress Andrew Strauss and obviously Andy Flower.

We've managed to keep a little hold on him in terms of his batting - he still hasn't scored a fifty against South Africa in one-day cricket, but he's ...
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
Since we've been in South Africa, it's been abundantly clear how close the World Cup is
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 ...
Jonathan Trott and Paul Collingwood both played exceptionally well
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.
I've never seen an England squad more motivated to go out and win games of cricket
The only batting fixtures in their side that I can see are Andrew Strauss, Alistair Cook and Kevin Pietersen
I like the brand of cricket we're playing. If we carry on, we'll put South Africa under pressure - there's no doubt about it
There has been talk that Andrew Strauss might take the Bangladesh tour off next March ... Hypothetically, if it was the case, I'd love to give the captaincy a go but it's not my only goal in cricket.
When you come to South Africa you expect things to be said in the press ... No doubt there will be more of it as this tour develops. We've always refrained from making big comments about the opposition because the world is round and they can come back to haunt you pretty quickly.
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.
The 4-0 victory in England was a long time ago in very different conditions but we can take some confidence from the fact that we beat them in a pressure situation in the Champions Trophy
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.
The 4-0 series win in England was a long time ago, in very different conditions. But we will take some confidence from beating them in a pressure situation out here in the Champions Trophy
Andrew Strauss was right to deny Graeme Smith a runner at the climax of England's outstanding win over South Africa. It is down to the umpires to decide if someone can have a runner and, as I understand it, they were not happy for the South Africa captain to have one, so why should Strauss step in?
James Tredwell is definitely an option. Being a right-arm off-spinner and with quite a few left-handers in the South African line up, his ability to spin the ball away is important
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 ...
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.
