This is the start of the silly season, I suppose ... All I can say from our point of view is that we are excited about our challenge against Australia and we think we can do pretty well out there. Predictions ultimately mean nothing.
Andrew Strauss has said that if any players are found guilty, they should be banned for life
I honestly think the best thing is to let the dust settle. It is easy to get emotional about these things at the moment
I have not yet spoken to (England captain) Andrew Strauss and the players but there are talks underway
We are going to have to sit down and talk about it.
I came back from the one-dayers [against Australia and Bangladesh] and was delighted to make a hundred against Middlesex - with (England captain) Andrew Strauss in the team. Then I got the niggle in my knee, and had to have two-and-a-half weeks out.
They are only allegations at this stage, but they are allegations of the worst kind ... For those of us who love cricket, it's not a good thing. A lot of allegations are so hard to prove, but if someone is found categorically guilty, the only way - for me - is for them not to be able to play internation...

With these sorts of allegations
I thought it would be overturned, but everyone else thought it was stone dead. I was hoping it was clipping leg. But like I always tell Straussy (captain Andrew Strauss), I am never wrong.
With these sorts of allegations ... you start questioning things you shouldn't be questioning.
All the lads thought it was stone dead, but like I told Straussy (England captain Andrew Strauss), I am never wrong!
the gloss had been taken off this victory ... We will celebrate as much as we can tonight.
We have good replacement wicketkeepers and it is time to try them out. Kamran's keeping was horrific and the moment he dropped Andrew Strauss he came under pressure. Even after so many years of international cricket his basics are wrong and he keeps on committing the same mistakes
We've seen things that put cricket on the front pages for the wrong reason before and we don't like it ... It's a shame the series finished in this way. We're happy to have won but we don't feel happy.
England cricketers Andrew Strauss, Alistair Cook and Eion Morgan put the Jaguar XJ through its paces
