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

I'll take my iPod - though I'm not very good with gadgets to be honest - and that has everything I like.

When it comes to sledging, I think people often get the wrong view.

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

It's usually the funny comments which are the better ones - and they are good for the game.

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.

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