He also effected the run out of Matthew Hayden and Michael Hussey during Australia's innings. He caught Brett Lee from the bowling of Harbhajan Singh to take his first catch in test cricket. [22]

His defensive shots are so assured. And he looks comfortable of both front and back foot. And when he attacks, he doesn't go hard at the deliveries. I can see why this young man is playing.

—Former Australian captain Allan Border [23]

Middle years: comeback and test regular

"My main focus was on getting out of the habit of those scores of 30s and 40s because they really haunted me. I had a chat with my coach, Jaykumar, during which we came out with three points: shot selection, shot selection and shot selection. Nothing was wrong technically with my batting, it was only the shot selection that went wrong. Then it came down to fitness - whether I was throwing it away because I got tired? We worked on small aspects like that and it is paying dividends now."
