WRT to the bowling comment, look at the examples he cited. Mendis. Ajmal. Really unique bowlers who can be well nigh impossible for batters. Unorthodox. No matter how hard he tries he won't get to be one of that. He's honest. He admits he can be as good as Swan, who lest we forget, has been the #1 spinner for a number of years. So he's not exactly setting a ceiling here. Remember this is the same guy, who, despite coming from a footballing family, decided he was going to be a cricketer as a teenager. Why? "Because in cricket I can see myself playing in a WC" This is the same guy who Rabeed Imam selected as one for the century when he was just 16. Why? Because of strength and clarity of mind. Self awareness need not be self-limiting.
