You can't go on living in past and having regrets. Its better people have a positive influence on other people's lives than worry about themselves.

I'm a very loyal, parochial Australian and I can never say we're going to lose a series.

Australia play best when they've got a bit of mongrel about them, when they play hard out in the middle, when they don't give an inch, when they play an aggressive brand of cricket.

By the time I made my international debut Tendulkar was already being counted among the best batsmen in the world. Most bowlers knew that his was the crucial wicket in an Indian batting line-up that boasted of many talented batsmen.

When you've got a team who are making a concerted effort to make a batsman feel uncomfortable it can look pretty ordinary.
