“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.

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 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.

There was a little element of feeling like a cow.

It is difficult batting in artificial light with a red ball but it’s a horrible task for umpires to make a judgment.

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.

I would be comfortable to bat anywhere.

I’m confused. Really, really confused.

I’ll pay to watch MS Dhoni Bat. Dhoni is not the next Gilchrist. He’s the first MS Dhoni.

I now know what Sachin Tendulkar feels every time he bats in India.

Whilst there’s a competition still on we’re still a chance.

I could live in the woods with thee in sight, Where never should human foot intrude: Or with thee find light in the darkest night, And a social crowd in solitude.

After a prosperous, but to me very wearisome, voyage, we came at last into port.

The ambitious will always be first in the crowd; he presseth forward, he looketh not behind him. More anguish is it to his mind to see one before him, than joy to leave thousands at a distance.

What strikes me about Jesus is that he is a remarkably true person; he never changes his personality to fit in with whatever crowd he finds himself. He is simply himself, and he never plays to his audience.

Today, do just a little bit more. Turn going the extra mile into a habit – it is what lifts most successful people above the crowd.

Chances are, if you are following the crowd, you’re following the wrong path.

Two is company, four is a party, three is a crowd. One is a wanderer.

My eyes find yours in the crowd. Your eyes see the crowd. That is the difference.
