Until they go through fitness tests it's impossible to know if they are totally right. If you remember, we all thought Simon Jones would be fit to play at the Oval and he didn't.

He has had a lot of tests done, and we are not quite sure what it is. We did not think he was going to be right in time for the game, and with a big game like this you need people who are going to be 100 per cent fit.

The tests have really taken off. There's been an explosion, to be honest.

We never had any concerns about his fitness levels. One thing they do in Japan is run a lot and train a lot.

I think we are getting some return on better, more scientific fitness methods,

Then we had a change halfway through. It hasn't been a subject that has cropped up in my discussions - which have mainly been about support for Michael - or whatever discussions I've had with Duncan when I've made contact with him in India.
