In any profession, there are always ups and downs.

Chase your dreams .... but make sure you don't find shortcuts.

I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.

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

I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about.

I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.

It's important not to take anything for granted.
