Quotes

All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving.

I just play because I love playing and I try and take as many wickets as,I can.

I think when two people get together, their past is their past. Their,reputations are reputations. You can only take someone the way you find,them. . . on face value. I think that was how we were both, the way we,were.

Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling. .
