I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

I loved reading Roald Dahl when I was young but I had forgotten a lot about the books. I read the 'BFG' on the iPad the other day and it was so interesting to see his descriptions of clothes and places.

I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.

There is such a belief in the squad that we could really do something.

The advantage does lie with us because we're at home and if we can't motivate ourselves for this match then we can't motivate ourselves for any match. I think the crowd will be up for it as well.

Obviously, it has taken time to work with the players around me and with so many new faces coming in the summer, in a way it's been more difficult.

You remember the finals you lose as much as the ones you win.
