I watched children dying. That will be the image that will stay with me

If I'd done a quarter of the things of which I'm accused, I'd be pickled in alcohol, I'd be a registered drug addict and would have sired half the children in the world's cricket-playing countries

The people in the villages had turned in on themselves. You can understand it. When you have a bad day on the field, what do you do? Talk to your teammates.

Sport can bring communities together and can release a lot of pent-up emotions

I think we are going to see exciting cricket all the way. We are watching the two best teams in the world-and I think England will eventually go on to pip Australia by a single Test

I want to stress again one aspect of the game which is most important. Never argue with an umpire.

I don't think I've actually drunk a beer for 15 years, except a few Guinnesses in Dublin, where it's the law.
