(Michael) Vaughan is lucky that Gilchrist has not shone with the bat. We were also similarly lucky in 2003-04 when Gilchrist couldn't get going.

Credit to them, they played very well. It was not an easy wicket to bat on early on - but they played like real champions.

It was one those bad days for them [the wicket takers]. I think they bowled a bit too short, but all credit to them. They bowled splendidly well throughout the tournament [the World Cup].

There are some low moments in every player's career, but that should not mean I would lock myself in and brood.

From my past performances. From my past success. I know all days cannot be rosy and what keeps me going is the support from my team. [Answering from the question: Where did you get the strength to fight from?]

The captain has a big role. It is important to keep the boys' confidence high and to keep one's faith in them. I try to give my support to the youngsters because nobody comes in as a world beater. Okay, some rare cricketers score a century on debut, but that doesn't mean the rest are not good enough. We have to give them more opportunities, which was not there when I started out. Captaincy these days is more off the field than on the field.
