I hate when a batsman plays a pull shot off my bowling.
You need to understand the batsman, where he plays his shot usually, which is his release shot, and then change the angle, vary the pace, line and length. You cannot always react after being at the receiving end.
It is one thing being scrutinised for playing a bad shot as a batsman or bowling a bad spell as a bowler, but the captaincy adds an extra dimension. The criticism is slightly harder to take.
A great shot is when you pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it.
There weren't many plays for me. A lot of my stats came off broken plays, or when I didn't allow the options to play out and just took the shot.
My biggest strength is I never look at the batsman's name when bowling.
In 2004 in England, there was one catch that was very special to me. I was bowling in a league match, and the batsman hit the ball over my head. I had to run back to between mid-off and mid-on to take the catch, and I did.
If you think like a batsman, you have an upper-hand over the man you're bowling to.
Part of the art of bowling spin is to make the batsman think something special is happening when it isn't.
If you ask me, a batsman has very few opportunities as compared to a bowler. A bowler knows, if he gets hit for a six or a boundary, he has another delivery left to get back and take a wicket. For a batsman, one loose shot, and you are out. A bowler will always have 24 opportunities.
What I intend to do is to launch a batting academy. I have been a batsman throughout my life, and I can't open a bowling academy after all!
I think it's related. Batting and captaincy or bowling or captaincy. If you are doing your job well as a batsman, then the same confidence comes in to what you do as a leader.
We had this little yard, and during the summer holidays, when my mum and dad were working, I spent hours bowling a golf ball at a stick. Just bowling, bowling, bowling. And I got to where I could hit the stick every time, repeating the same action. That's where the darts came from.
Bowling, I like bowling. I've been getting into this bowling thing. It's kinda fun.
Cristiano is an unbalancing player. His confidence allows him to pull off the plays he does. He naturally always looks for the best solution.
I like bowling. It's just one of those things where I can do so many jokes about it because I do know bowling. Somebody once said, "The whitest things in the world are Jim Gaffigan and bowling."
For a lot of people looking at a 19-year-old model, there's a feeling that 'I can't pull that off.' But there's so much you can pull off if you can find the confidence to look at fashion in a different way and make it unique for yourself.
