How much do you know about the current players in the New Zealand team?

• I can name them if you want — there’s (Martin) Guptill, (Peter) Fulton, (Neil) Broom, (Grant) Elliot, (Ross) Taylor, (Brendon) McCullum — they all are good batsmen.

Their bowling attack is also very good — (Iain) O ‘Brien , (Ian) Butler, (Daniel) Vettori of course, and then there’s Kyle Mills. I was watching the Australia-New Zealand ODI series on television and I can easily identify their first XI. That’s a good place to start from.

• If we play to our potential, we’ll definitely win this time. We have a good streak in recent times and hopefully we can create a bit of history.

•You and Harbhajan were fined by on your arrival at the airport last time because of dirty shoes.

• (Laughs) I’m carrying everything brand new this time — from shoes to helmets.
