“And I’m 10 matches into my first-class career. I’m never going to be able to do what Warnie did. Warnie’s once-in-a-generation, he’s the greatest to play the game in my opinion.
” I still really feel in the darkness of Shane Warne currently and I’m 129 Test matches in with 530 gates. The point is, I’m delighted keeping that, and I’m comfy keeping that currently. A great deal of us really felt the stress of Shane Warne’s darkness … and it most likely took me an excellent 5, 6, 7 years to recognize that stress is an opportunity. And if you have actually obtained stress, you’re doing OK, appreciate it,” the rewriter included.
