    "I have commented on that (ECB) dossier. One word - "embarrassing" - job done

    "I am just excited by the fact that the people can get to see the real story. I have not been allowed to give my side of the story for years because when you are in a regime, you are not allowed to voice opinions against the regime. Especially against the leader of the regime, you are not allowed. And I knew it and I have been saying it for months and months and months. I said there will be a time when - revenge is a dish best served cold - when this will be the time for me to come out and speak. So I am in such a happy place. And the reason why I am also in a happy place is not because I have said it - because I have had so many people back me up on it. And you have now got opposition - people, players from opposition teams. The captain of Australia, the great Ricky Ponting - I know Graeme Smith has come out today and said that the South Africans used it as a tactic against us. 'Get on top of England - they will fight with each other - they will battle against each other.' I mean so for me to sit here now is just ... yeah, I am very happy with what I have done."

    "You do not treat every single person in a team exactly the same. And unfortunately in Flower's regime that was the case and that was wrong."

    "I think the new managing director or the new boss has got to come in there and have a look at the whole system. And I think that he has got to come in there and he has got to come in with his own views on it. He has got to have a look at it. He can't turn up like (Paul) Downton did on his first day in the job. And three or four days later know that he was going to sack me. He can't come into his job and do that straight away. He has got to look at the whole situation. And the ECB I think needs a big shake up. Because the whole situation is not being handled properly."

    "I have been blessed with an amazing talent which I am very, very lucky to have. And I am going to fulfil everything that I can do. I love playing cricket, I love batting and I feel totally free when I bat. So I will bat as long as I can."
