On his day he has been great to watch.

Perhaps Glammy will make an offer.

Asked to bat at numbers 1 to 9 in Test Matches apparently, must be some sort of record.

Why now though, with the Ashes just around the corner and England being short of Spinners?

He's mentioned he's found it all a bit too much Max.
Fair play to him for being honest unlike some like Swann and Prior who let England dowm jumping ship half way through a tour.

Very badly treated at times by England. I don’t blame him for concentrating on where he can make the most money before he retires fully.

Excellent, wide ranging interview here.

How Joe Denly got capped is beyond me. Great county player but nowhere near Test level.
