I have played for 15 years and it has been a dream.

Shoaib Akhtar has been playing for 5, 6 years and is an experienced bowler.

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.

I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.

When I was 15, I started playing first class cricket and always dreamt of being a Test cricketer, wanted to do something for the country, married in 1995, have 2 kids it's been great.

I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.
