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

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.

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

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

If you go out to bat against Australia, they come at you hard.

Cricket is great, but I'm not as comfortable with everything else that goes with it.

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
