The biggest relief off my shoulders was when I retired from Test cricket and I knew I didn't have to bowl 40 overs in a Test anymore.
我最大的解脱是当我从板球测试中退役的时候，我知道我不再需要在一次测试中多投40分了。

I love winning. Maybe it's more that I hate losing?
我喜欢赢。也许我更讨厌失败？
I'm lucky because not only do I have the chance to experience the thrill of winning, but I also get to bowl really fast. Those two things are the best feelings in the world, better than any drugs - not that I've tried any.
我很幸运，因为我不仅有机会体验到胜利的快感，而且我也能很快地打到保龄球。这两样东西是世界上最好的感觉，比任何药物都好——我从来没有试过。
I want to be a good cricketer, but I am a person first and a cricketer second. I won't always be a cricketer, but I will always be a person.
我想成为一名优秀的板球运动员，但我首先是一个人，其次是一名板球运动员。我不会永远是一个板球运动员，但我会永远是一个人。
From the moment I became an established international cricketer I always had a strong feeling that I should be doing some 'good' while I had that profile, using it to try and make a difference.
从我成为一名成熟的国际板球运动员的那一刻起，我就有一种强烈的感觉，那就是我应该做一些“好的”事情，同时我也有这样的形象，用它来尝试改变自己。
I enjoy taking wickets more than most people can understand. I'm addicted to that feeling.
我比大多数人都能理解的更喜欢拿柳条。我对那种感觉上瘾了。
Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock were my heroes, so I thought averaging 22 or 23 and taking five-wicket hauls was normal.
艾伦·唐纳德和肖恩·波洛克是我心目中的英雄，所以我认为平均22或23岁，拿五个边条是正常的。
