If you're free of mechanical thoughts and free of knowing that your body and bat are going to be in the right position at the right time, you can freely focus on the ball. It's a great feeling.

There are times when your mind isn't ready to go but your body is, and times when your body is ready to go but your mind isn't. You try to get the two in sync as much as possible.

It's a great feeling when your work is appreciated.

Going to the gym is great for your body, but it's also great for your mind.

It's your body and your life and you have an absolute right to do with it as you choose.

We're in a great position and I've got a feeling the wicket's going to get harder to bat on and we've got three of the best fast bowlers in the world, and not a bad leggie either, so Sri Lanka's going to be in for a tough time when they bat.
