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

I just play because I love playing and I try and take as many wickets as I can.

My life was falling apart and then to come out and play and have my best ever - 40 wickets, 250 runs... But the only reason I could do that was because of the way I thought and I think I'm pretty strong mentally. I think I am anyway, pretty strong to get over whatever it is.

I didn't think much about batting average when I was playing.

I don't think I ever worked harder at any match during my career to get runs as I did then, nor did I ever have to face in one game such consistently fast bowlers as the Australian pair, Gregory and McDonald.

I'd bowled a lot, but I never really had proper lessons.

I played quite a bit for my home team, Morriston, in my teens. I batted and bowled, but I suffered the utter humiliation once when one of the Pontarddulais batsmen hit 32 runs in one over against me.

I'm proud of the fact that I pitched almost 3,300 innings.

Wickets are like wives. You never know what to expect from them.
