I think everyone is vulnerable to a moving ball. It's about just trying to find a way to have a solid defence and a game plan that can work in those conditions.

That's pretty important to me - to make sure I'm leading from the front.

My record probably is better when I'm captain than when I'm not. That sort of pressure doesn't really bother me.

I am comfortable with five-days. I like the challenge of a five-day Test.

It's nice to have someone to come home to and get the honest truth about all aspects of life.

I don't like watching others batting and scoring runs I could be scoring. It is nice to see guys being successful but at the same time I want to be the one out there doing it.

I actually think I play better with pressure, that extra pressure when the team needs something more and things like that.

I would call myself a cricket nuffie. I love watching cricket. But I've found other things in my life.

An Ashes series is huge for Australian cricketers - and English cricketers for that matter - and there's always that added pressure.

There are a lot of carbs in beer.
