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.

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

When you bowl at him you are not just trying to get him out, you are trying to impress him. "I want him to walk off thinking 'that Flintoff, he's all right isn't he?" I feel privileged to have played against him.

I have a varied taste, I'll listen to anything. Well, not anything, no techno.

If you're batting and you go off on one it can't really help you.

I'm not really someone who looks forward to the gym. But I realise it's something that I have to do to perform well on the pitch.

It's a big part of my life, listening to music and watching TV.
