When I have a day off, I will have a day off.

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

Whatever was written in the media was beyond me. The only thing I could control was getting fit.

It's far more daunting than bowling to Ricky Ponting or facing Shane Warne

That means I can drive a flock of sheep through the town centre, drink for free in no less than 64 pubs and get a lift home with the police when I become inebriated. What more could you want?

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.

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