A cricket ground is a flat piece of earth with some buildings around it.

Out in the field, you haven't got anyone whispering into your ear saying all sorts of things, you've got to do it yourself.

The hallmark of a great captain is the ability to win the toss, at the right time.

But I think the only thing that annoys me about that is if I suddenly find someone on commercial radio or something like that, mimicking my voice or actions and trying to promote a product and pretending it's me doing it.

The only thing that really annoys me is when all of a sudden you hear yourself on the radio advertising Smith's tyre shop or Blenkinsop's jam. They simply can't do that. And in Australia, occasionally I have to take action.

In fact, as a spin bowler, you have to work on the batsman over after over.

When my hair is long enough to be cut, I go to my wife's hairdresser, and she generally pays for it.
