I would take away the Hook !

You finished with a Test average of 40.01.

Would you agree that you were an underachiever?

Yes, I should have scored a lot more runs and finished with a better average, of course.

But I could have played for another four to five years.

As I said, in 2009, I was understanding my game better.
Then my contract was dropped. Then I get dropped in 2011.

Put that into the context.

I don't know if I would have scored one more or ten more centuries.

At the time, instead of sitting out, it would have been much better [to be] playing.

It is hard for me to say where I could have finished.

Do you know in one-day cricket your average is better than Lara's

and only lesser than Gordon Greenidge's and Viv Richards'?


Really? You see, so much more cricket I had left in me!

You once said this about Lara:

"Lara was in a different class by himself. He taught me how to win matches.

He also guided me in terms of which bowler I should and shouldn't take on.".

I get so angry when thinking about Sars. Our system destroys players and manages talent horribly. We insult and fire official coaches, unofficial coaches (Ambrose et al), batsmen, bowlers and union heads. History repeated, over and over again.
