He will go down as one of the greats of Western Australian cricket not only for his efforts with the gloves and the bat but also for his leadership and team spirit.
He will be considered for a return to international cricket later in the summer,
He has not bowled as yet. We are monitoring his progress closely and we will take a decision (on playing him) keeping in mind this series and the amount of cricket coming up.
He has been playing club cricket at home and he has been batting and bowling, so he is fine.
I think SACA fell in love with the idea of having a cricket icon as their coach,
It doesn't mean he's finished. Also we'd like him to concentrate on his long-form-of-the-game batting and reignite that partnership that he has with Justin Langer because, after all, in Test match cricket they've been fantastic in being the cornerstone behind a lot of big scores.
I still have a desire to undertake some coaching role within the AFL-VFL system, but my primary time commitments will be to my position at Cricket Victoria. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stint as Box Hill Hawks coach and I wish them well for season 2006,
We are looking forward to the World Cup also. We hope the big event would do a lot of good for the cricket at grass roots level.
We believe that's the best way that cricket can show it's remorse, can show the people of the countries that have been affected that we're thinking of them and we're concerned to do whatever we can to ease the suffering at this terrible time.
We are at loggerheads with Australia and the International Cricket Council is aware of it.
