fire in the belly!

I am fan of Cricket and having grown up on a healthy diet of cricket all my life wherever I am like most Indians I try and keep up with cricketing news, like the current matches between India, Sri Lanka and West Indies and ofcourse the Ashes. I just came across this article and I re read these lines again and again

When asked about his pain, Lee pointed to his heart and said: "I'm hurting more here. We knew we had to take a few on the body. I'd do it plus tax again to make sure we give everything we can to make Australia win."

I can only imagine how badly a sportsman psyches himself up just to play well. I just love the spirit with which Australia play the game.
