Generally a likeable chap.
He did have a book released like a year after he started playing international cricket, and it was littered with statistics and averages highlighting his own achievements among fine company such as Bradman and the like. I do remember chuckling to myself and thinking 'mate, play more than a year and let's see how your averages are. Bit soon to be grouping yourself with legends like that'. Try-hardesque.
In that same book, I read a begging and pleading letter to Steve Waugh asking for the secrets to mental toughness, which I found slightly amusing. I do not know whether Steve replied to this or whether he turfed it with all the other fanboy mail, who knows.
He does strike me as the sort of man who would rock up to a party with his own bottled water, before leaving at 8:00.
I'm sure, too, that he remembers his 462* scored against David in the Hussey backyard in 1983, and that he assembled his own blackboard-scoreboard in chalk (which still hasn't been rubbed out) to commemorate this.
BUT
I like him very, very much. He can bat anywhere. His body language in the field is fantastic for the team. He's a handy bowler. It's a freaking damn shame his career only started in his 30's.
The above stuff was only poking fun at him, you know, taking the pee Aussie style.
