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

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 think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.

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

To win in Australia, for me, has to be the ultimate success because the Aussies live for sport

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.
