Now, two years have passed and the situation is completely different: no one wants to organise this match.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This match is about sport and I separate that completely from politics.
More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than any other cause.
I hate any match that isn't a traditional Tag Team Match or a traditional Singles Match, because anything can happen. It's truly one of those deals where it's all about being in the right place at the right time.
The World Cup is every four years, so it's going to be a perennial problem.
I am just focusing on one match at a time.
Football is made up of all kinds of conflict. In a dressing room, between players, between us and the manager, between us and loads of people who don't seem to matter. It's constant and harsh sometimes.
Each match I approach like a new one. The work is so immense that you don't have time to sit and ponder.
It is amazing how the public steadfastly refuse to attend the third day of a match when so often the last day produces the best and most exciting cricket.
We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.
The most important competition is always the next match.
