“I have never been a stats person. It’s nice to have these numbers but I have had a lot better moments in my cricketing career. Winning games for my country has always been objective number one so the job’s not over yet. I love what I am doing right now, even if it’s in 40 degree heat and the ball is staying ankle high. It’s not bouncing and it’s very slow but I would rather be here than anywhere else,” the top-ranked Test bowler added.
