My philosophy is to respect the opposition off the field and play it as tough as possible on it.

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.

Learning how to win comes with switching the onus of pressure away from yourselves and then seizing your moment.

Batsmen like Gary Kirsten, Boeta Dippenaar and Neil McKenzie have good techniques and can bat for long periods.

How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not surprisingly, the loudest voices are not scientific, and it is remarkable how many economists, lawyers, journalists and politicians set themselves up as experts on the science.

I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.

I read way, way more Andre Norton than could possibly have been healthy. It was a short hop from her to the rest of the library's science fictional and fantastic holdings.

It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature.
