He's bowling well at the moment and looks in good form. But we're not thinking about what they will do to us. We're more interested in what we can do to them.
It has been frustrating. The last game I played was on April 17.
I admire the work he does off the field as well, especially in Calcutta, and I'm sure people back home would be wishing well for him.
I think I have already spoken a lot. Now it is time for me to play.
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 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.
I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.
It is important to understand that if you do fall, it's important for you to get right back up again.
Making an effort is in your hands. Giving 100% is in your hands.
Great individuals and great performances build a team, which produces brilliant performances.
I want to give my six hours of serious cricket on the ground and then take whatever the result.
Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.
Obviously if you're positive, then there's positive energy flowing in your body. The moments are smoother - thought process is smoother. But if there is doubt, then also your body's not going to move that well, your thought process is not clear.
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.
