I look at my clarinet sometimes and I think, I wonder what's going to come out of there tonight? You never know. ↗

When I was playing the game we never had the benefit of TV or video to analyse our techniques or look at faults, we depended on other cricketers to watch us and then tell us what they thought we were doing wrong. ↗

Although some of my books are supposed to be hated, no one ever tells me. ↗
