“Test cricket tests you physically and skill-wise, but also mentally. A...” — Glenn McGrath Quote

“Test cricket tests you physically and skill-wise, but also mentally. And you have to be solid on all three to do well.”

“The difference between first-class cricket and international cricket isn't skill, it's attitude and the way you go about things.”

“I'm expecting big things from our bowlers, from Peter Siddle, who plays the enforcer role, Stuart Clark, Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee when he gets fit again. In batting, there's Phil Hughes, whose already done well for Australia and scored hundreds for Middlesex.”

“There is no point playing in the IPL when I have retired from international cricket. I did not want a youngster to miss out because of me.”

“I only have a family pack; never really felt the need for abs or something like that because, to my mind, being fit in terms of cricket is far more important than anything.”

“I want to thank all my team-mates as well as the opponents in red ball cricket. It has been a privilege to play with and against them.”
