I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time he creates a separate identity for himself.

I told another ESPN friend here I love all sports. I can't think of any I don't love. I've even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don't know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing.

Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested Crystal Palace being one but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.

I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.

To me it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport enjoy it be positive and try to win.

I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket which is my life. I will continue to play cricket.

I half knew what to expect when I saw the cricket ground in the morning. It was when I started to talk to people working out there I began to find what I was looking for.

Spirituality does two things for you. One you are forced to become more selfless two you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.

Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.

The future of Indo-Pak cricket will depend on how the peace process goes.

When there is time to think about cricket I think but when there is time to be with family I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.

One afternoon when I was 9 my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan.

Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago but I didn't understand what they were talking about.

With just about every player in Australia his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.

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've just got to be careful - with all sports let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.
