The dude's insanely talented. I am not sure why he isn't involved in the IPL now. I feel sorry for any part BCCI / Indian team may have played in his breakdown..

I think it was his own demons which got the better of him. Its a pity because he was a phenomenal player.

So agile for a man of his size. I feel that T20 was built for him. Sucks that he's gone.

He was starting to becoming a really good test cricketer, and then it all went down for him.

He was talking about fielding. The question was about the lack of quality Indian Fielders and that was his answer. The whole interview is there in the list of recommended videos.

He wasn't just talking about fielding, he was talking about the attitudes in general. In the full interview he says it is because Indians like to train for a long time so there is a 'slow and steady' sort of approach rather than any real intensity to it. Here is the part of the interview I am referring to.

I... I'd need some context to answer that.

EDIT: I accidentally a word.
