The goal was to have matches that would stand the test of time.
It's something that I've wanted to do for a while, play Big Bash. Unfortunately representing the Proteas for the bulk of my career over Christmas time we've always got Test matches on, the Boxing Day and New Year's Test matches. So I haven't been available.
I love the multi-format series. Within it they've found a way to retain Test matches and England v Australia in the Test arena, they were always my favourite matches to play in.
When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.
As it is, I have a busy schedule, and I don't think I have the time for Test matches.
In Test matches, you have to play consistent cricket for a period of time.
I firmly believe Test series should never be two Test matches, three is enough.
I always wanted to be involved with music that would stand the test of time, being on one of those definitive things that you have to have listened to at some point.
When I hear about some sensational new writer I sort of think, Shut up ... you've got to be around for a long time before you can really say you're a writer. You've got to stand the test of time, which is the only real test there is.
During the time I didn't play for England, they were losing Test matches, and the Yorkshire committee were telling me that I should be batting for my country. Then, when I decided to make myself available to play for England again in 1977, and Yorkshire lost a couple of matches in my absence, they criticised me for not being there.
I have no real desire to play Test cricket, and the reason I lost this desire was because I was not selected consistently for Test matches.
Other countries are developing well-being economies - we should do the same. That is the way to create a society which would stand the test of time - for everyone.
Flair and I would work with one another sometimes seven nights a week, and with four weeks in a month, we had to keep changing up the matches with fans following the circuit every night. It would always test me and Ric to do something different.
The only way to create a foundational document that could stand the test of time was to build in enough flexibility that later generations would be able to adapt it to their own needs and uses.
After 114 Test matches, 228 ODIs, and 78 T20 Internationals, it is time for others to take over. I have had my turn, and to be honest, I am tired.
My aim is to play Test matches. For me, there is a different feel of Test cricket as it tests your character. You come to know about your mental toughness, and most importantly, there is another level of satisfaction as a player.
Older readers will remember there used to be matches on Christmas Day. I remember leaving the fireside and the presents to watch matches on the day as a boy but such matches were rare by the time I began playing.
