I was always fiercely determined and driven to succeed.

It's always good to win a Test match and if you win it comfortably, it can leave a few psychological marks on opposition sides.

I think any time you lose an Ashes series, especially with the hype and build-up surrounding it and the pride we have as Australians playing against England, that's always hard to take.

Every decision you make in life, not just on the sporting field - a lot of time and energy goes into it. You think things through before you make decisions and you always think the decision you make at the time is going to be the right one.

We're nowhere near our best yet but we still came away with a good win.

We'd like to think the game would be a sell-out. We're certainly looking forward to the game.
