Steve Waugh on the upcoming Ashes, his 801page autobiography(Out of my Comfort Zone), his departure from cricket, his charity work and strangely some words of praise for the English cricket team.

Some excerpts:
Well, Stephen, do you think England can do it again?

'Gee, I don't know,' he says. 'It's a pretty tough one. I think Australia will have the edge purely because they're focused on it, really keen to make amends. But England have definitely got a show. The Barmy Army will bring huge support, so it's almost not like an away series.

This is the best England team I've seen as a group. As individuals, they've had just as good players in the past but haven't gelled as a team. They have matured as a side and they realise their strength lies in their unity, not their individuals. In the past there was a mentality of "well, if I do well, I'm in the next Test match", rather than "how are we doing as a side?"
