When I was last here covering cricket for Sky TV, we stayed at a house on the beach. It's no longer there. The fishermen, the stalls along the road, the boats, they've all gone. You look at the cricket ground and remember it in splendour. Now it looks like the surface of the moon.

I can remember Tony Jacklin getting a hole-in-one-the World Cup final in 1966, Kenny Barrington getting runs, and the one thing which will always stand out, Muhammad Ali.

Given the amount of pressure and scrutiny umpires are under these days, let the third umpire use video technology to call no-balls. The umpire in the middle has enough to do as it is.

You cannot believe the extent of the devastation here, or the trauma. Those kids at the cricket ground this morning, their faces were glazed, they couldn't speak, they didn't ask questions. God knows what they had gone through.

I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.

All people seem to want to talk about is the current Ashes series, and whether England are going to reverse the trend of recent series.

I'd like to have been a caddie for Tom Watson or Nicklaus in their famous duel for the Open at Turnberry in 1977. It was a monumental match, which Watson won. I'd love to have seen it at firsthand, close-up.

Retiring for good wasn't difficult. I knew at the time it was right. I was no longer capable of achieving the standards I'd set myself and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.

Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.

Tiger Woods... The way he handles himself and conducts himself while performing brilliantly is a credit to him.

England versus Australia has captured the imagination of the public. I was talking to Sir Alex Ferguson the other day, not about the new Premiership season but the feverish excitement of this Ashes.

I watched children dying. That will be the image that will stay with me.

There are two things I would like to see change in Test cricket. For a start, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh should not be playing at the highest level and cluttering up the system.

Genghis Khan was a fascinating man and way ahead of his time.

The resilience of these people is amazing. I am a great believer that the sooner we get things up and running in terms of sport in this area, the better.

You can't imagine the horror; and the walk through the village earlier, where they'd put up welcome signs and the dancers led us up the street and anyone not lining the road was waving from their homes or what was left of them. It was sobering, humbling.

I think we are going to see exciting cricket all the way. We are watching the two best teams in the world-and I think England will eventually go on to pip Australia by a single Test.

Sport can bring communities together and can release a lot of pent-up emotions.

If you can change three lives in 10, three lives in a hundred, that's got to be good, hasn't it?

There will be no politics, no ifs and buts; if we see something and feel that work needs to be done, we will get people here we can rely on and ensure it is done in the same thorough way as our other projects.
