“I don’t know about magic but I did get some big batters out with my bowling. Ricky Ponting, Hayden, Hussey, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Dilshan, Lara and some top batters. I once dismissed Adam Gilchrist round his legs in Perth. The big ones did fall to me sometimes,” he said.

He further added that he was upset when Kohli dropped a regulation catch at midwicket once. He said he was angrier than when he missed a triple-century.

“I actually felt quite sad when Virat Kohli once dropped a dolly off me at midwicket once. I would have probably gotten to some bowling milestone but he ended up putting it down.
