Cricket is full of theorists who can ruin your game in no time.

I don't ask my wife to face Michael Holding, so there's no reason why I should be changing nappies.

Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.

I can remember running around at the age of 3, wanting to play golf, cricket and football. I was always active, one way or another, driving my parents mad.

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

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

Retiring for good wasn't difficult. I knew at the time it was right. I was no longer capable of achieving the standards I'd set myself and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
