You don't meddle with the referee just before you go on the pitch.

['Higginbotham told the referee] He never touched me, I dived out the way ... I don't care, get off the pitch.

I pitched alright because I didn't really have the off -speed pitch, but my fastball was better than most days.

I don't like to meddle in my private affairs.

I would also like to say that the referee behaved very well.

the world's best referee.
