At this moment he is bowling well.... but I would like to focus more on what we have to do rather than what they will do to us.
I fail sometimes, I succeed sometimes, so that's fair enough. It's a package deal. It comes with that package: failures and success.
I'm confident and I trust my instincts.
To me, pre-match preparation is extremely important because that's something which is within my control.
In any profession, there are always ups and downs.
Along with the talent, you also need direction.
It's important not to take anything for granted.
I'm really focusing now on how I can get to the next level as a batsman. How can I get even more competitive? How can I get even more consistent? How can I get better?
Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.
Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.
If you don't execute on your plans, then you don't reach anywhere.
Dressing room discussions should not come out. If it has come out it was absolutely wrong.
Early in the day, my kids woke me up and took me to their room, which they had decorated for the occasion. It was a pleasant surprise.
I think I have already spoken a lot. Now it is time for me to play.
