I need at least two months to try and figure out where the centre of the bat is.

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

My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

From the spinners, Anil and I have been together for a long time and I respect him a lot.

I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches.

There are a few players who don't like to think about the game.

As a kid I loved John McEnroe. They called me Mac because, while everyone else liked Borg, I was crazy about McEnroe. I tried wearing headbands and sweatbands, and whooping at people. It didn't quite work.
