Growing up, my education about Test cricket came from dad's video of the 1981 Ashes series - and Ian Botham's incredible match at Headingley.

Getting past 30 as a sportsman, the end could be just around the corner.

There is a lot of talk about how Twenty20 has changed batting techniques in Test cricket. But it has also had an impact on bowling.

This game's a lot easier early on in your career because people haven't seen you play. Things got a lot harder when people saw what I did with the ball and began to think about how to bat against me.

We train and work so hard in our sport, we would be nothing less than a warrior. Day in, day out, this is our life. It's everything. The Olympic dream.

I don't want to say names, but there are certain companies I won't work with because of previous people they've worked with. I don't want to be put in the same category as another athlete that I don't necessarily think is a good role model.

I love sports, as all Bostonians seem to. I love books and movies, as all writers seem to.

Pretty surreal experience to see the impact football has had globally.
