It's a hard life as a professional cricketer. It's not as easy as everyone makes out. To survive you need a tough hide.

I don't like waiting in airports for my bags. Even worse, I don't like waiting in airports when my bags are lost.

Geez, I just played cricket because I loved the game. I never thought about it much, never really had any formal coaching.

I keep a lucky red rag in my pocket when I bat, which has been a good luck charm for a few years.

It doesn't matter how pretty you look it's how many runs you get.

Money does not motivate me as long as I can provide for my children.

You've got to have dreams to keep you going.
