I really like Iceland. One of the nicest things about it is that I hardly ever had to reach for my credit card. There's practically nothing there to go shopping for.
Sometimes I need to look at the scoreboard to figure out whether I'm batting hundred-plus or whether I am on zero.
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.
Any team sport, there are certain team targets and those targets should always be in the forefront.
Along with the talent, you also need direction.
In any profession, there are always ups and downs.
It's important to work hard - there's no short cut around that.
I have never thought where I will go, or forced any targets on myself.
I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.
Lara's done very well recently and I never had any doubts about the abilities of Lara or Waugh.
Hansie Cronje. Honestly. I got out to Hansie more than anyone.I never knew what to do with him
I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it's a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.
I am a Maharashtrian and I am extremely proud of that. But I am an Indian first. And Mumbai belongs to all Indians.
