Off the field I always thought Mark Taylor was exemplary in the way he handled himself.

From the age of eight until 15 or 16, every time I was out bowling leg spin I was thinking about my dad and when you've done that it stays with you. There are lots of things he did which enabled me to be the player that I was. It wasn't me that wanted to be a cricketer. He made me 90 per cent of the player I was and the person I was.

I am still disappointed when I have let myself down or my team. That will not change at any stage in the future.
