Sport is something that crosses all boundaries and can really bring people together.

My experience with Australia in the 1997 Ashes series taught me that fighting back is a combination of technique and mindset.

The Sydney Cricket Ground is my favourite ground in the world, my home ground, and growing up in the bush all I wanted was to play at the SCG.

You still have to enjoy the tour games. If you go out there and just go through the motions, you can easily get into bad habits, you lose a bit of rhythm or a bit of form and then things can go pretty bad pretty quickly.

That was how we categorised ourselves in the dressing room – you were either a nerd or a Julio. Julios have got to look perfect – the hair has got to be perfect, they’ve got to have the right gear on, it’s all about their appearance. The nerds weren’t bothered about how they looked.
