MANCHESTER (AFP) - Toby Roland-Jones has insisted his dream England debut will be put to one side when he next plays Test cricket.
The 29-year-old Middlesex seamer took eight wickets, including twice removing star batsman Hashim Amla cheaply, during England s 239-run win over South Africa in the third Test at The Oval.
That left England 2-1 up in the series with just the fourth Test at Old Trafford, starting Friday, to come.
But Roland-Jones, whose hat-trick against Yorkshire sealed Middlesex s County Championship title triumph last season, is knows that one good return is no guarantee of future success.
"I approach every game in the same way, I m someone who looks to be as simplistic as possible in the way that I approach and my processes for bowling," Roland-Jones told reporters at Manchester s Old Trafford on Wednesday.
"It s a case of reverting back to type, starting from scratch again and hopefully doing what I can to try and help the team win up here at Old Trafford."
But after a heel injury to Durham fast bowler Mark Wood finally gave Roland-Jones his chance after he d twice before been in the Test squad without getting a cap, he was understandably proud of his debut.
"(It was) nice to have a day or so just to process everything," he said. "Obviously winning a game in any England side is always going to be a pretty special feeling on debut.
"From a personal point of view it was pretty exciting game to be a part of and I was pretty happy with the way that I performed."
