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 see why, if you look at how the Australian culture and psyche is, that we can't be amongst the most generous, from the grassroots up, nations in the world.

What's fascinating about the Australians is they have this quality that they are impervious to majesty. They're not awed.

Australians and the British are very similar: If you try and stand out in any way, and you try to reach for success, someone is gonna be there to cut you down.

I haven't met everyone from all different cultures, but I do know Aussies are very tough.

I think Australians like a bit of vulgarity.

I don't find it hard to stay humble.
