'What we thought about Pakistan was wrong'

Taking the wicket of Shoaib Akhtar [at Rawalpindi in the third Test, seen in the picture] was the most unforgettable incident of the entire tour for me. So also was the seven- wicket haul [in the same Test]. I can never forget that.

I still cherish the two sixes I hit off Shoaib Akhtar and [Mohammad] Sami. They are the fastest bowlers in the world, and I hit them for sixes.
