You’re now famous. Are you rich? [Laughs] In many respects, yes. I had the most amazing upbringing. I live in a country that has provided all sorts of opportunities. It depends how you define being rich, but I certainly feel rich in life and experience. I feel that’s all that matters, really. It was recently announced you’d signed a new three-year deal with the Sydney Sixers cricket team. How much of that decision was about money, and how much of it about something else? It was all the other things. I’ve been with the Sixers since its inception and have loved every minute. The chance to – probably – finish my career [with them] was really exciting. It was about the chance to stay involved for as long as possible. It’s wild that you already have to consider retirement at this age. What’s the plan, post-cricket? I’ve had this fantasy for a while, where I pack up my car and do a trip across Australia when I finish playing, just to see more of our country. But besides that, I’m not really sure. I haven’t thought too much about it. What do you buy for yourself when you win a match? Oh, I don’t know if I’ve ever bought myself anything! Maybe the occasional chocolate bar from the servo on the way home.
