Sporting culture is needed where marks are given to students for sports in schools, jobs are assured for sportsperson, and sponsors are willing to support them through rough times.
As a cricketer – or any sportsperson, for that matter – you like yourself to be tested and get better all the time.
Ask José Mourinho, he wouldn’t know a thing about me, my sport – he knows football, and to get to high levels you have to be insane, nothing else means anything.
I welcome that attitude. Can you name a sportsperson or an amazing success anywhere in the world that doesn’t have a bit of attitude?
