A COMPLETE JERK
My coach Toot Byron used to say, "I hate to see him bat. He can score lots of runs in an over and get out on the last ball of that over. A complete jerk."

LOUDEST GRUNT
I have the loudest grunt in cricket while I bat; I match Sharapova decibel to decibel. Infact, I can do better than her.

OVER CONFIDENT
I was suspended for drinking and appearing for the match against Bangladesh, where we suffered a humiliating loss. We still maintain we are the best.

Once while playing a fierce square drive, I ripped off my tendon muscle. Don't ask me what happened to that delivery.

CAUGHT AGAIN
In the recent series with India, I got so frustrated that I attacked a streaker and tackled him rugby-style while on the field. Obviously, the police chose to ignore me. That streaker was fined 1500 $ and said he loved being hit by me.

In the same series, I gave Bhajji a hell of a time - but in all honesty, he came back pretty strong to give a fitting reply to us. That was a forgettable series for us.

I have the record of hitting most sixes in an innings and a match - 16 and 20 for Gloucestershire vs Glamorgan.

After cricket, its fishing for me. I love fishing with Matty (Hayden). I am a fishy character. I am a professional rugby player.
