As a coach now, I often think of Symo and I and always try to coach more like I am coaching Symo. When talking to players, I like to talk more about what they are capable of and less about what their limitations are. I certainly don’t blame coaches for the way that I played, but I would have to say that in many ways, they shaped the player I became
The greatest positive example I have of this as a player was when I went to the Cricket Academy in Adelaide and was coached by Rodney Marsh. Rod was my hero and the reason I changed from being right-handed to left-handed (at an early age), although things didn’t get off on the right foot
