What are you reading or current TV series?
I don't watch or read anything really - I just work.
What's the best piece of advice you've been given?
Never premeditate a shot.
Always treat every ball as though you haven't faced it before.
What's the biggest challenge to cricket?
Coping with the pressure of playing A grade and going out there and trying not to disappoint anyone at the same time as having fun.
Best player you've played with? Why?
Travis Nicholson because of the way he bats the ball really well, and he's been doing it a really long time so it's good to get advice from him and watch the way he plays, and learn off him.
Favourite cricketer? Why?
David Warner. I like the way he hits the ball.
He hits it pretty well when he's on.
Superstitions?
None.
Signature dish in the kitchen?
I'm good at cooking ravioli. I love ravioli. I'll have it often. It's cheap.
