The wickets I have played on for my whole career, most of them have been to suit fast bowlers in Australia.

The first thing is to be patient, which is probably the hardest thing to do. Don't worry if blokes are whacking you out of the park because you still have the opportunity to get him out next ball, even if it's not the same ball.

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.

Find a way to get back in to the game, find a way to build a partnership, find a way to catch a ball, find a way to stop it.

All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving.

With Australians we're saying we're going to win before we start playing and pretty much keep on saying that.

My only problem is the fear that opposition bowlers might go for my fingers and that's why I was scared of the short ball. Now I am struggling with the ball pitching up and swinging away. I just keep nicking that one.
