I want to give my six hours of serious cricket on the ground and then take whatever the result.

I couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn't control my tears of joy.

At the start of my career, when I used to toss and turn at night, I was fighting that feeling and wanting to go to sleep. Now I know that's normal, so I'll just get up and watch TV or something. I know it's just my subconscious mind getting ready for a game.

Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

There have been ups and downs, but it has taught us a lot in life. Going with the team through those ups and downs is a terrific journey.

I'm really focusing now on how I can get to the next level as a batsman. How can I get even more competitive? How can I get even more consistent? How can I get better?

New Zealand's Daniel Vettori is a very good bowler.
