If you're looking for a quantum leap, you're looking for it from blokes who have been in the system for six or seven years, who have not really taken the game yet by a stranglehold who may have the ability to do so.

Adam Derbyshire was absolutely sensational and we tried six blokes back there on him today.
We actually had a barbecue that Sunday. I was out in the garden while a lot of the other blokes were inside watching the cricket on TV. Every now and then someone would rush out and shout, 'Another wicket's gone.' I was struck by how weird it all seemed. I really was no longer a Test cricketer. I was just some ordinary guy looking after his barbecue while this momentous battle unfolded at Trent Bridge.
The first thing is to be patient, which is probably the hardest thing to do. Don't worry if blokes are whacking you out of the park because you still have the opportunity to get him out next ball, even if it's not the same ball.
They've benchmarked the bloke in the overalls against Singapore and China, but they've benchmarked the blokes in the suits against New York and London.
It seems like the older bands are bigger than ever. We get a mixed crowd where you have kids and old blokes like me.
There are a lot of very busy blokes about who wear a suit for work, who go through a lot of wear and tear and who'll want this because of convenience, The customer is time-compressed and, in middle America, also pocket-book compressed.
I don't find offensive that I'm being labelled a babe by blokes. I'm absolutely flattered.
Sad old blokes, I'm told, now dream of me with a whip in hand.
I'm not sure how they would like a two year old to have a needle produced in front of it with two 14-stone blokes hanging off its ears as it's ready to compete in a Blue Diamond and think that wouldn't affect its performance.
We are close to being in the finals of the one-day competition and we still can't get anyone in the Australian side. We have one of the leading run-scorers Mark Cosgrove and blokes who are getting wickets.
I think Tait and Michael Clarke are two blokes who have to go to South Africa.
Maybe if I'd not been able to kick a ball it would have been different, but I doubt it because all my mates are decent blokes now, just normal fellas with families.
I would think if the Chicago Mafia came to Australia today, they would probably think that it was full of blokes who go around wrestling crocodiles - whether that be Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin. But one thing they would not be wondering about is where they could go to get a pizza.
