I have developed a Samoan mentality. You have to be a gentleman everywhere but on the field.
I'm mostly a quiet person by nature and don't like letting my emotions come out on the field.
I have made my thoughts on it (sledging) well known over the last couple of years. We are more than happy to be talking to opposition players in the field so long as it is not personal or abusive.
Off the field I always thought Mark Taylor was exemplary in the way he handled himself.
Indian coaches are strict on the field, but off the field, they take very good care of you.
Sometimes people say things on the field that they might regret, but they should stay on the field.
Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.'
When I'm away from the field, I show a little more emotion and stuff.
It's all you hear on a cricket field - 'Knock his head off, knock his head off.' Cricket has gone too far. It shouldn't be posturing, abusing.
