Quote

A lot of the lads have a bat for the nets, a bat for facing the bowling machine and a separate bat for the match. I'll just crack on with a bat until it breaks - then crack on with another one.

But there is no danger of my not concentrating on cricket. I'm comfortable on the pitch, and that will never change. I have to remember what I do for a living

While I'm at second slip I'm not just thinking of what I'm going to have for tea. I'm considering the match as well, wondering how I can help, if there is anything I can offer.

I like to think I'm calm. Sometimes I have arrived at the ground in the morning in a bad mood - you're not always going to be in the best of moods are you? - but by the time you get into the ground and you have a brew then it's normally fine.

I'm not too good with packing. I always have every intention of doing it the week before and then leave it until the last moment - but at least I do it myself, I don't leave it to the missus.

I'm not really someone who looks forward to the gym. But I realise it's something that I have to do to perform well on the pitch.

I'm not really superstitious - I don't have any lucky charms or a mascot.

I have a varied taste, I'll listen to anything. Well, not anything, no techno.

We have to take care of our own game. There's only one place we've got to stick up for ourselves and that's the pitch.

It's far more daunting than bowling to Ricky Ponting or facing Shane Warne

I've read a lot of Irvine Welsh - Trainspotting, Glue - he's written some beauties.

There are times when I have felt the pressure, but at the moment I play cricket the only way I can.

I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to facing Brett Lee again. He bowls at 95mph so enjoyment is not the word I would use.

I always listen to music before I go out to bat. Any track, really, just whatever I feel like at the time.
