To be honest, I wasn't very smart about things. At that stage I was still averaging 40 after nine Tests or so and with the Packer players away, most of the other guys in the Aussie Test team were very new to the team. I thought it was up to me to compete with the Packer boys. When the Packer catchcry was "Lillee getting wickets and Hookesy clearing pickets" I felt that anyone who was coming to watch me play needed to be entertained. I probably played more aggressively than I should have. My feeling was I wanted to give the crowd something to look at when they came in the gates. I should have been more circumspect. In a lot of cases I was happy to get out for 30 or 40. But I felt we needed to compete with WSC boys.
