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

I always listen to music before I go out to bat. Any track, really, just whatever I feel like at the time.

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

We have to take care of our own game. There's only one place we've got to stick up for ourselves and that's the pitch.

My family is not a distraction. They're the most important thing in my life.

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

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