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.
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.
For people coming in through the turnstiles and people sponsoring, we are entertainers and that's where the game is going.
People want sport that they can go on an afternoon and watch with their kids.
Attacking players are the ones who are best suited to break a record.
Even I lost a series of Test matches as skipper.
Tendulkar has had the greatest cricket career of anyone who has ever played the game.
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.
I have never played a Test match at the Eden... It's such a big shame and disappointment.
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.
Pretty early, when I started playing golf, I was compared to Garfield Sobers, who played both cricket and golf.
In cricket, you should keep your wrist as straight as possible, unlike golf.
Records are made to be broken. It's great when they are broken by attacking players.
I believe cricket is a harder game. If at age six you started both sports you'd excel at golf more.
Getting into your 30s, you don't feel the same as in your early 20s.
The Caribbean is all Third World islands and it's very tough to raise the money for sports.
I am always committed to West Indies cricket.
It doesn't matter how many runs one person puts together. We want to get partnerships and get 400 runs on the board. One person can't get 400 runs on the board if there is nobody at the other end.
You don't need a group of superstars, you need a team working together to bring you better results.
I had to work hard... but I knew I had strong support.
