  6. I was really looking forward to my first cap (in 1999) and didn't start feeling nervous until the fireworks went off when Australia came onto the pitch ... Once the whistle went for the start of the game all those nerves evaporated. I still have those nerves - if you don't the mind isn't sharp.
