Occupation: Cricketer Birth: June 27, 1980
I need to rein myself in sometimes..
I am very fortunate having the job that I do and I want to do it for as long as possible..
I have played a lot of Test cricket with Paul Collingwood over the past year. I seem to be spending more time with him than my fiancee..
It's the weight of expectation that's the hardest to deal with, really, from my point of view..
Big players want to play in front of big audiences..
I always say that things are meant to be and everything happens for a reason, so I don't have any regrets..
I can never sit still for five minutes..
Everyone is into male grooming..
I have no interest in anyone who wants to criticise me, or doesn't like me despite never having met me..
I am who I am, in terms of shooting from the hip occasionally..
A good four to six weeks is about right for a proper break..
The boys are so well-rounded, they're so self-disciplined, there is so much camaraderie.
I've seen how Rahul goes about his innings & that's something I want to get myself involved with..
I have some real big goals with England..
I think I had about a month off when I broke my rib in Australia, which was magnificent..
I'm a very proud person..
I love England and I love cricket..
