Sidebottom has become England's key bowler (Getty Images)

Nottinghamshire bowler Ryan Sidebottom insists he will not get carried away with his match-winning performances on England's tour to New Zealand.

Sidebottom, who took 24 wickets and was named player of the series, told BBC Sport: "Things have gone well and I had a great time in New Zealand.

"But I'll try to forget about it now - I've only played 13 Tests.

"It was a nice thing to achieve but I'm back with Notts now and just need to start afresh."

My move to Notts has been key. I've had four great years Ryan Sidebottom

And Sidebottom, 30, is in no doubt his move from Yorkshire to Notts has been a major factor in his elevation to England's number one bowler.

"My move to Notts has been key. I've had four great years," he said.

"I've learned from a lot of people, it's a great club with a family atmosphere and they've allowed me to work hard on my game and enjoy my cricket."

But although Sidebottom goes from strength to strength on the pitch he admits his talents to do not extend as far at helping with the organising of his wedding.

He marries fiancee Kate on Saturday but says he has been far less successful with helping with the preparations than he was in New Zealand: "I can't wait for Saturday but I've been hopeless - Kate has organised everything."
