How little money really changes things. It buys doctors but not health, clothes but not taste, makeup but not beauty. When I was young and didn’t have anything, I imagined money had more power.

The way I left English cricket. I was scapegoated for the Ashes tour in 2013-14 and there was a bitter battle between the England Cricket Board and me for a few years.

My biggest disappointment would be living with disappointment. What a burden to be shackled to. I would be truly disappointed if I didn’t (as the song says) pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again.
