If I'm playing well I'll get through a bat in three weeks. I batter them.

I'm not keen on making predictions.

Sure, you can do without the hard personal comments, but it doesn't really happen apart from a few isolated incidents.

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

Personally I prefer to work things out by feel, by instinct.

I'm not someone who needs to bat and bat to be in form.

I'm completely different from Pietersen. He would turn up to the opening of an envelope
