The best compliment for me is when someone says they'll pay to watch me play, And I can say that I'll pay to watch MS Dhoni bat. MS is not the next Gilchrist. He's the first MS Dhoni
I now know what Sachin Tendulkar feels every time he bats in India.
I'll pay to watch MS Dhoni Bat. Dhoni is not the next Gilchrist. He's the first MS Dhoni.
I would be comfortable to bat anywhere.
It was an amazing win and testament to the character of the team. From the position we were in it must be one of the greatest comebacks.
There was a little element of feeling like a cow.
I have done all the work I usually do and a little bit more, so hopefully that will produce results in at least one of the last two Tests.
Whilst there's a competition still on we're still a chance.
No no no no no. RIP Phillip Hughes.
I guess they have had 16 years when they haven't even been close in an Ashes series but we have found some sections of the crowd to be scathing and harsh. That has not been overly enjoyable. We have seen a pretty ugly side in some supporters.
And I can say that I’ll pay to watch MS Dhoni bat.
I'm confused. Really, really confused.
It is difficult batting in artificial light with a red ball but it's a horrible task for umpires to make a judgment.
