I think center is a critical position.

Center is a very tough position to play.

If I liken the Pacific War to a football match, I can say to you that the first half is over, we have kicked off after the interval, and we are going to carry the ball into enemy territory for a smashing victory.

Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.

There are a lot of undecideds in this country that are hopefully right of center, not left of center.

The players have to come and play. Today we did.

Think off-center.

I would put myself towards left of center.

Each game we approach like a final. Today it was the opening game at home, we won and showed outstanding football qualities. We will be preparing for the next game the same way.

I don't see pitches down the middle anymore - not even in batting practice.
