I'm a very loyal, parochial Australian and I can never say we're going to lose a series.
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.
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.
I think the important thing for budding cricketers is to always put in 100 per cent - to continue to be your best, work hard, don't ever think you are at the top of your ability, you can always improve.
