England hero Ryan Sidebottom claims he still hasn't come down from the high of claiming eight wickets in his international comeback against the West Indies.

The Nottinghamshire left-arm seamer recorded match figures of 8-86 on his return to his former home ground of Headingley for the second npower Test last week.

And the 29-year-old admitted the match went better than he could have hoped, saying: "I had confidence in myself that I could take some wickets but not like it turned out.

"I was very happy to be told by Michael Vaughan that I'd be taking the first over, and the cheer I got from the Headingley crowd when my name was read out to bowl the first over gave me an extra boost.

"I was able to settle into a rhythm straight away, and tried to do the same things that have worked for me with Notts. I got the ball swinging and everything went from there.

"I'm absolutely delighted and the family are chuffed to bit. I'm still in dreamland a bit and haven't yet come down from a high.

"But I know I really haven't achieved anything yet. It was only my second Test match and I wanted to prove to myself I could do the job at international level.

"I've still got a long way to go yet and I want to win as many international caps as possible."
