I have been trying to lose weight for the last two-three months and it has gone really well. In the last 6-12 months I have been in the best form in quite a while.

Never give up; just absolutely never give up.

It was bloody difficult getting followed around all the time.

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

Rahul Dravid being known as 'The Wall' is pretty much spot on. 'The fortress' could also describe Rahul. Because once, Dravid was set, you needed the bowling equivalent of a dozen cannon firing all at once to blast him down.

I also think there's too many players who say the same boring answers, they don't even have to turn up to interviews because journalists answer their own questions the way they ask them. Unfortunately the way it is now players are so afraid to say anything, but I'd like them to be honest.

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