"I am probably scared of bowling to MS the most in the nets, but influence wise the coach has been good," the Australian said when asked about who had influenced him the most.
He added: "My father back home has had a big part to play and all the coaches along the way have been great, but over here, it is probably just challenging to bowl to MS."
"It is has been fun over the last 12 months I suppose. I had some good results in the Big Bash back home in Australia and that led to the Australian selection. It was good to get back into the national team and very fun being here as part of the CSK and the IPL," he told the IPL website.
And asked what is his most lethal weapon, he said, "My yorkers are normally quite good if I land them and my bouncers are kind of effective but not so much here because the wickets here are not as quick as they are back home.
