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.
I've never seen an England squad more motivated to go out and win games of cricket
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
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
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 ...
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.
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 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
The only batting fixtures in their side that I can see are Andrew Strauss, Alistair Cook and Kevin Pietersen
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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 ...
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.
It's one thing beating a side at home, it's another thing beating a side like South Africa away on their own patch
We only select one tour at a time and the South Africa tour is a massive one
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...
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.
