Right through school, I was a handy cricketer, a batsman and a left-arm spinner who bowled leg breaks.
The biggest test for any cricketer in England is the weather.

I love to play Test cricket; it's the main cricket.
I do love cricket - it's so very English.
Cricket. Come summer holidays here in Australia not a whole lot else seems to matter. It's good stuff... Some would even go as far as to say, marvellous.

There are not enough turning pitches in India, which is why we are not getting good spinners.

In India, the wicket tends to get a bit slower once the ball gets old, but in England, it's pretty much the same whether it's new ball or old ball.
