We spoke about his love for cricket and what cricket does to influence the world.

The main thing is if we can rotate a bit and not necessarily before a series is decided. If we play against India and we happened to be three up, you are going to see a chance where guys are given a rest.

I think the guys are all geared up. I think we understood where we all went wrong in Melbourne and we are working at it. We've got a couple of new faces, a new captain, and I think it is more of your natural ability comes out in the Test arena rather than the one-day arena.

Australia came out victorious but I'm sure you'll agree we've got a good group of young players, very exciting players, and guys who want to represent their country.

I think I was selected to lead the team but it was a bit unfortunate that the higher authorities did not see it that way.

The good thing is that a lot of the inexperienced players did really well, Devon Smith and Ryan Hinds with the bat and Tino Best and Fidel Edwards with the ball.
