I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player.

In the space of one delivery so much had changed. My confidence was sky-high. I was pumped up and rock'n'rolling.

I think when two people get together, their past is their past. Their reputations are reputations. You can only take someone the way you find them... on face value. I think that was how we were both, the way we were.

With Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, it was better to be friends and make them smile rather than wind them up.

Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.

There are a lot more tabloids in England that like to report other things in your life, some of which are true and some of which are exaggerated and untrue. There have been stories where people claim to have seen me in one place and I wasnt even in that city then. The Aussie press is more judgmental and moralistic.

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