I remember Chris Cairns against New Zealand when Australia leaked a one and it called him mentally fragile.

Everyone was waiting to talk to Chris Cairns.

And he came up with a beautiful reply.

He said, hey, of course I'm meddling fragile.

I could have told him that 10 years ago.

You don't think that's a big exclusive, do you?

So he played it down nicely.

But it does get in, Gerard, doesn't it, you know?

Yeah, exactly.

And he was the coolest cat, wasn't he, in international cricket, Hashim Amla.

I mean, Usman Khawaja's favourite ever rival player.

But he had that brilliant... He was so calm about everything he did.

Like, fast bowlers used to sit next to him on the bus on the way to the ground because they just felt this chilled-out vibe.

But he was motivated by that to prove them wrong.

You can go two ways, can't you?

Shane Warne used to broadcast...

his game plan for Nasser Hussain to him at the crease.

Like he would say, now, Nasser, you can see what I'm trying to do here.

I'm trying to drift the ball into you and get it to snap back to get that edge.

That's why I put a silly mid-off in.
