I bowl my best when I'm fittest and the best way to get fit is
to bowl. That's how you get your rhythm. You can't really find
a rhythm by bowling in the nets.

All you
can do if you're on the outside is make sure you are adding
something to the effort, whether it is being helpful around
the team environment or doing extra training to motivate your
teammates.

Even though
we love to dominate opponents, we also love a fight. When there's
a challenge it brings out your best.

As a Test
cricketer you expect that at times you're going to be heckled,
and you must have a thick skin.

Lady Luck's
a funny woman. She hasn't wanted to know me over the past few
months but she certainly turned up at the SCG on Friday. Maybe
she knew it was my birthday. I had told anyone who would listen
that all I wanted for my birthday was a bagful of wickets and
presto, I walked off with five-for.

My plan,
when I walked out on to the field on Friday morning, was to
just enjoy myself because when I'm smiling and having fun I
generally bowl my best.

I build
myself up with confidence with aggression, and confidence to
control the game. If you're the bowler and you've got the ball
in your hand you're controlling the game, so you've got to make
sure the batsmen knows who's boss.

Captains
started to realise that spin bowling didn't have to be defensive
but they could actually be attacking bowling in both one-day
and Test cricket. I like to think I played a part in getting
spin bowling back into fashion again.

I've never
been a statistically - minded person, though. Through my career,
if I pass a milestone I just give myself a pat on the back and
say, "well done", but the thing that drives me now
is not getting 500. I just play because I love playing and I
try and take as many wickets as I can.

I have lost
10-12 kilos. The reason why I have lost weight is that I looked
at the international schedule and thought that I wanted to play
for another two years. It is a very hectic schedule and if I
want to get through that then I have to be in the best shape
that I can.

The first
thing is to be patient, which is probably the hardest thing
to do. Don't worry if blokes are whacking you out of the park
because you still have the opportunity to get him out next ball,
even if it's not the same ball.

Sachin Tendulkar
is the hardest batsman I've ever had to bowl to because he judges
the length a lot quicker than anyone else.
