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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
