You are a seam bowler and this Perth Test showed how well you managed this young attack. But how would you manage Piyush Chawla and Harbhajan in the coming ODIs?

• I am a bowler first, and the basics remain the same. If Piyush is not getting the ball to turn or is bowling more on his legs, you know immediately where the fault lies. That is where the coaching qualifications come into play. I have been able to help the spinners as much as the fast bowlers.

You met your coach Dennis Lillee here, and what was the conversation all about?

• I met him here on the morning of the second day, and it was nice. I was under him at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai. He told me how to use the breeze here and I passed that advice on to my lot.
