At any point, did you consider cutting down on pace to prolong your career? Would you suggest that to any other bowler?
I am a strong advocate of following your natural abilities. If a bowler can bowl fast, then he should. To me, it is the most thrilling aspect of the game. I never thought of cutting down on pace. My team needed me to bowl fast and that is why I bowled the way I did.
In international cricket, you have to take risks. I took one more than a few times and unfortunately it didn’t work out.
