I keep a lucky red rag in my pocket when I bat, which has been a good luck charm for a few years.

I don't like waiting in airports for my bags. Even worse, I don't like waiting in airports when my bags are lost.

To me, being Australian is about looking after your mates, taking care of the less fortunate, supporting the underdog and enhancing the spirit that makes all Australians unique.

You've got to have dreams to keep you going.

I'd like to try to inspire the youth, that's obviously where our future is and the kids are the ones you can mould and you can give them ideas and opportunities and I'd like to try to inspire all the young kids because I had a dream when I was young, that was to play for Australia.

Money does not motivate me as long as I can provide for my children.

It doesn't matter how pretty you look it's how many runs you get.
