It was a ball that took off like nothing had in the Sri Lankan innings over the previous day and a half,of course it roughed him up and got him out but he wasn't expecting it at all as the pitch hadn't done anything like that.Perhaps that shows how badly we had bowled but no other deliveries did that so you can just put it down to being an unplayable ball.

He seemed to cope fairly well last winter and in 2005 against Lee the piethrower so why would there be a problem in future?
