Jonathan Haidt

Comparing 'Christmas Vacation' to 'It's A Wonderful Life' is the silliest thing.

I'm not comparing myself with anyone, but I am very confident about my captaincy, as I have already led India and in the IPL also.

Courteney Cox

I read a statistic that in horse racing, the favourite only wins 12 per cent of their races. I'm not comparing myself to a horse or saying I'm the favourite - although my sister would say I can nag an awful lot - but nothing is guaranteed in sport. Anyone can step up and take what you perceive to be your place in the final.
