Lockie Ferguson: 'You play sport to burn calories so you can eat fast food'
The New Zealand fast bowler dishes on his favourite things to eat, the importance of moderation, and the secret ingredient in his pre-workout smoothie - cake
I love Japanese, love sushi!
Sushi (laughs).
Surely Lord's. It's ridiculous - entree, main and dessert. It's tempting for even a professional sportsman. When in Rome...
New York.
Cricketers are notoriously terrible cooks because we eat in hotels all the time. Let me think who has put on a good meal for us [in New Zealand]. Normally, Kiwis are good at barbecues.
All fast food. That's why you play sport, so that you can burn calories so you can eat fast food.
I've only lasted one day in Test cricket (laughs), so in a limited-overs international normally I love breakfast, so I have avocado on toast in the morning with scrambled eggs, and New Zealand coffee is pretty hard to beat. I do love playing at home. Lunch, it's often catered, so it tends to be whatever is presented on the day. I must say I've had some up-and-down days having curries for lunch - some good and some not so good. But no, we do love it when we come to India - they make some phenomenal curries. Everything in moderation is fine.
I can't really eat post-workout. I tend to eat beforehand. Coffee would be the only thing I could get down.
Berries - raspberries, ideally - banana, chocolate protein, black forest cake… it's a protein smoothie.
No, not really. Everything in moderation again. I probably started out my career thinking I can have a whole block of chocolate and a full pizza, but slowly over time I've reduced those serving sizes.
Not really. We get looked after so well at hotels. I guess the only thing is Kiwi Whittaker's chocolate - when I take it or when it's sent to me, it always reminds me of home.
Sushi.
Pepperoni pizza, New York-style.
