played in my life. "but on the other aspect – my position in the australian side – it seems, [from looking at] the players that the australians picked for the establishment, i think i could have made it and probably could have finished up financially about the same – for playing less cricket. but i don't think it would have done my game any good because i know that playing world series cricket – it was tough – i think it made me a lot better cricketer."
