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

I'm ugly, I'm overweight, but I'm happy

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

I can lose my temper from time to time, but I try not to lose it on the pitch because it can't help.

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.

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

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.
