“Gary Sobers was unsurpassed as an all-rounder, he always played cricket the way the Gods intended - absolutely straight, absolutely hard, but never with malice.”
“It was a question of endurance, ... We were extremely keen to win the Ashes, because Australia had held them for a long time, and there were moments in the series when it was vital to last out. Everybody has different ways of doing that sort of thing, and my own was to expect every ball to be a good one. Therefore I would simply keep it out. That was my philosophy.”
