I am always committed to West Indies cricket.

The Caribbean is all Third World islands and it's very tough to raise the money for sports.

Getting into your 30s, you don't feel the same as in your early 20s.

I have been knocked down so many times, as a player and as a person, and I have had the strength, I suppose that has come from my parents, to be able to pick myself each and every single time and go out there in the face of adversity and try my best and perform. I didn't read it up in a book. It's deep down and it's part of my family trait.

I would like to be remembered as someone who came out there and tried to entertain.

I believe cricket is a harder game. If at age six you started both sports you'd excel at golf more.

Records are made to be broken. It's great when they are broken by attacking players.

I first took up golf in 1994, and used to play intermittently. I couldn't devote as much time to it as I would've liked.

In cricket, you should keep your wrist as straight as possible, unlike golf.

Pretty early, when I started playing golf, I was compared to Garfield Sobers, who played both cricket and golf.

Yes, golf is a weird game. I was capable of dealing with moving and bouncing cricket balls, but this little silly ball, sitting on the ground, gave me quite a headache early on for few years, but taught me how to be disciplined in controlling the ball.

I have never played a Test match at the Eden... It's such a big shame and disappointment.

I don't think there is any 16-year-old who is going to embark on the sort of career that Sachin Tendulkar has had and walk away from the game at 40 with such great achievements. He's the Muhammad Ali and the Michael Jordan of cricket.

Tendulkar has had the greatest cricket career of anyone who has ever played the game.

Even I lost a series of Test matches as skipper.

Disability should not be considered a hindrance to achieving one's goals.

Attacking players are the ones who are best suited to break a record.

People want sport that they can go on an afternoon and watch with their kids.

For people coming in through the turnstiles and people sponsoring, we are entertainers and that's where the game is going.

Having a decent place to live is fundamental for families.

I grew up at a time when West Indies dominated the world. For 15 years from 1980, the West Indies never lost a Test series.

The highest-ranked team in the world has the responsibility to ensure that the integrity of the game is upheld every single time they play. And that the spirit of cricket is with them every time they enter the field.

What you have to understand is that the first day I picked up a bat I made an impression on my older sister Agnes and my dad. It was about seeing people satisfied by what you're doing. I was creating a fan base.

It's a cliche that cricket is the only unifying force in the Caribbean. It is but there are a lot of other factors that keep us apart. Success in sport and war will always unite but you need to have a greater foundation and greater core.
