At the end of my career I always wanted to look back and know that I had given it my absolute best.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
When you've done as much travelling as I have, it becomes hard work - I probably spend 90 per cent of the year travelling.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
There are lots of places I would love to go to in Europe and North America.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I went to Spain with my brother when I was about 17. We stayed near Barcelona and it was terrible. There were floods and I ended up missing my flight home.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I have applied to go to either Durham or Loughborough University to study Applied Physics and would like to get some qualification behind me. But when I do think about becoming professional Essex would be my first choice as I have been very happy playing and practising with them.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I've played cricket seriously since I was eight years old, when I first played for the Essex under-11s. I can't just turn it off.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
When I see people like Pietersen bat, I wish that I'd freed up a bit as a batsman, but it's very easy to say now.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I had good and bad seasons for Essex. I was a real form player: if I got on a run, I was happy and confident, but if I had a bad trot, I was far too analytical of my game, worried about it too much and my form got worse.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
More than playing, my greatest moments and love of the game come from captaining England.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
When you are no longer England captain, you suddenly realise it's over, you are no longer England captain, and you appreciate what you had.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Bowling was my natural skill. I didn't know how I was doing it, but I was spinning it miles and bamboozling people.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
With my bowling, I didn't know how I was doing it, so when it went wrong I didn't know how to fix it.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
From the age of eight until 15 or 16, every time I was out bowling leg spin I was thinking about my dad and when you've done that it stays with you. There are lots of things he did which enabled me to be the player that I was. It wasn't me that wanted to be a cricketer. He made me 90 per cent of the player I was and the person I was.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I am still disappointed when I have let myself down or my team. That will not change at any stage in the future.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Off the field I always thought Mark Taylor was exemplary in the way he handled himself.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I think Andrew Strauss never gets enough credit for what he's done for English cricket.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
If you've got an opportunity to improve your squad before a World Cup you must take it.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I played with Graham Thorpe and Alec Stewart; if anything off the field affected Graham his cricket life was not important and you had to give him a break. But if Alec had issues at home you would never know about it; he would turn up and think: 'This is my job, I can do it.'
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
In the longer term we have got to learn how to bowl on flat pitches if England are to head the ICC Championship table.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I admire anyone who can show they can dig deep. Ballesteros and Sergio Garcia, people who are obviously mentally strong. Or Graham Thorpe. He is your fighter. He's the kid who is bullied at school but will stand up in a fight when it matters.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Trescothick hates it if somebody starts taking the micky or running other people down - which can happen a lot in some dressing-rooms - and he makes sure he stamps it out.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
There have been a few times in my career when I have been close to tears after completing an innings, but rarely when I am waiting to bat.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Pujara is not fashionable, he's very much old-fashioned - he's not great between the wickets and he's not a modern, extravagant, in-your-face character like Kohli, Dhawan or Pandya.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
As a player you always feel the pressure and as a team you are always trying to make sure the opposition are under it.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
One-day cricket is about continuity, team ethic, understanding each other's role, where everybody fields and bats, when and at which end they want to bowl.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
With all my bats I like them to be bottom-heavy, so they help me to hold the line through the shot.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Some would argue the opposite: that with better pitches you should be able to express yourself, a bit like Kevin Pietersen does. Looking back, I wish I had been a bit more like that. But I always had a fear of failure, a fear of getting out, so I tried to eliminate risk from my game.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I think I've broken every finger, and my wrist on a tennis court in Guyana, and at 33 you get other injuries like hernias and tennis elbow.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
I certainly do not want to be remembered as a good captain who perhaps didn't contribute with the bat as much as he might have done.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Pakistan is a very emotional, cricket-loving nation and what Pakistan need is a street-fighter-type in charge of the team.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Learning how to win comes with switching the onus of pressure away from yourselves and then seizing your moment.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
When I first became captain the job was new and refreshing and didn't affect my batting. I was still in the same mental pattern I had had for 10 years; batting came first and captaincy fitted in with that.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
Captaining England is the best job I've ever had and the last thing I would want to do after more than four years is hand the Test job over to someone who wasn't up to it.
Quote by -Nasser Hussain
It's not an issue for me if I captain England in 42 Tests or in 50. It's a question of what is best for the team in Test and one-day cricket.
