Throughout Yorkshire's history, the committee had not been known for its visionary approach. They just assumed that because Yorkshire had been fantastic in the past, and the county was full of kids wanting to play cricket, everything would be okay.

I always loved the Yorkshire members and was passionate about playing for the county, but the people who were running the club made it at times unbearable for me. The rulers had a history of doing what they wanted and sacking players seemingly on a whim.

We've got to get the public back into watching Test matches - speeding up the game with innovation is one way forward.

I've known people with exceptional talent - and some have wasted it. Ambition spurs a man on.

I pray for forgiveness. For help and guidance. To be a better person. For the health of my family. For the world to be a better place.

I did a term at Cambridge University studying medicine, so I could potentially have followed in Mum and Dad's footsteps and become a doctor.

Just like you need to strengthen your core physically with exercise, you also need to strength your core spiritually.

Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be.
