But he seems very confident and positive. |
But I just don't see how it is an important matter. When I was caught on the boundary at Old Trafford it was by Brad Hodge, who was on as a substitute. |
He is getting on very well. I think he will play, |
He's a great leader. We respect him, |
I am not bound by material things. It's being successful that drives me forward. I love success. I don't wake up in the morning thinking: 'Great - I've got one million pounds in the bank'. I wake up happy because I am a successful part of a successful team. It's that success that brings all the media coverage, the first-night parties, the endorsements. I will never lose sight of that. It has come very quickly - sooner than even I expected. But it's great to know that if I continue in the same vein, then I can do exactly what I want with the rest of my life. I will be financially secure. |

I thought the boys played brilliant cricket today [on hitting 91 not out off 65 balls to sink the Aussies, 2005 one day series] |
I was not feeling 100 per cent fit, yet I wanted to play considering the situation we were in. I hate missing international matches and I just wanted to go out there. |
I'm flattered. I honestly didn't think I was going to get this award, |
I've dropped six catches and nobody's given me a beer. |
If we bowl them out in a couple or two and a half sessions, we might be chasing 150 to 200 in the second innings, |
