He writes in the book 'It was during a Test match in the 2010-11 Ashes series in Perth. I was batting really well, and I was on 95. It was a beautiful wicket to bat on and the ball was coming on so nicely as it normally does at the WACA. At this very moment in time, I started to think, "Wow, this is going to be my first Ashes Test hundred, how am I going to celebrate? How amazing is this going to feel? What am I going to do?" My mind moved to the outcome, to this expectation that I had always set for myself. "I'm going well. I'm nearly there. I am so close to achieving one of the dreams that I have had since I was a kid. How am I going to get to a hundred? With six or a boundary or just get five singles?" Whereas up until this moment, I had not been thinking about how I was going to score runs.
I was just in the moment, trusting my instincts with aggressive intent, ball after ball. This mindset was what had got me to 95.
