How did your love of cricket come about as a child?
Like most guys I expect, playing in the backyard with your brother(s) and your dad.
Who were your cricket heroes growing up?
Brian Lara for his pure batsmanship and Justin Langer for his doggedness.
But also looked up to most guys playing for NSW as a kid.
