The era of playing aggressive cricket and to have the mid-on up is gone. You now try to read the mindset of a batsman.

You need to protect the best players in the country. When there is so much cricket, we must work on ways to prolong their careers.

Geez, I just played cricket because I loved the game. I never thought about it much, never really had any formal coaching.

Equally, though, there are guys who play England Under 19 who don't even play First Class cricket. It is a watershed in the careers in many ways.

The only thing I've ever been interested in teaching anyone in life is cricket.

Since childhood, I have been a cricket fanatic.

Cricket has become more popular, not me... When the game grows, those who've played it also 'grow.'

During my years of professional cricket in England, I realised that although the Australians were talented players, tactically they were a bit naive when compared to those who played full-time on the English circuit. You might find this arrogant, but that was the reality then.

I don't study cricket too much. Whatever I have learned or experienced is through cricket I've played on the field, and whatever little I have watched.
