To play quick bowling you must have courage, you must have that type of the boxer attitude. You know you can get hit !!! But you are not willing to trade the tunnel. You got to stand & you are going to fight it.

And I start working on my cricket and I start saying to myself, hey look !"If you are an opening batsman, you got to have that courage , to go & play against the quick bowlers.

And I learned a hell of a lot from the opposition, the likes of Sunny Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath,Ian Chappell and these guys, you know I used to watch them how they played against all odds. And then I used to watch the master blaster.
