The reason why I have lost weight is that I looked at the international schedule and thought that I wanted to play for another two years. It is a very hectic schedule and if I want to get through that then I have to be in the best shape that I can.

My life was falling apart and then to come out and play and have my best ever - 40 wickets, 250 runs... But the only reason I could do that was because of the way I thought and I think I'm pretty strong mentally. I think I am anyway, pretty strong to get over whatever it is.

Never give up; just absolutely never give up.

I still eat pizzas, I still like pies, I still have spaghetti hoops for breakfast... but it's in moderation now.

We played well in Kenya. We didn't lose a game and we bowled Pakistan out for 100 twice. We don't need to change much from that for this tournament.

To me, cricket is a simple game. Keep it simple and just go out and play.

The IPL is just pure, intense. You don't need all the other stuff. I don't believe in coaches in international cricket.
