I have the kind of personality that I always look ahead than look at what's happened. It does help a lot, especially when you've done badly or you've failed. It's instinctive of me that I look at what's next, I look ahead a lot, and start preparing for that, in victory and in defeat.

I was given a talent to play cricket. I don't know why I was given it. But I was. I owe it to all those who wish it had been them to give of my best, every day.

There are so many fans and so many people who care deeply about this game, and it is because of these fans that we are who we are as cricketers.

I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.

If you don't ask for the best, you don't get it.

You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

You don't play for revenge, you play for respect & pride
