“I've always tried to honour my dad and what he did for Yorkshire, which for him frequently meant putting the county's cause before his own. But my late boyhood, my early teens and my adolescence were full of net sessions and practice drills he never witnessed, ups and downs he never knew about and matches he never saw.”

“When I came into the England team I was always being asked whether I 'really' wanted to be a wicketkeeper. It was as though no one had noticed the work I'd already put in to make myself one.”

“The biggest critic I have in my life is my dad, so everything else is just a breeze; it doesn't really matter to me.”

“No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good.”

“We'd just go to church and sing. My dad would get me and my sister Doris, and we would sing together. I sung the harmony, and my sister Doris took the lead.”
