You never sit on your laurels. It is always a case of trying to work on your deficiencies as much as working on your strengths.

I have always played into the belief that you are only ever borrowing the jersey; you never own the jersey because someone has gone before you and there is going to be someone after you, so it's a case of giving the jersey maximum respect.

When you are captain, you are never speaking for yourself.

Practise things you're good at. Keep on top of things you're not so good at, but be world-class at your best. Never think, 'I'm very good at this and that, I can leave those for a bit.'

It's rare enough as an older generation player that you're 100% fit - there's always something niggling.

You have perspective when little people come into your life. You take the best things you have and let them overshadow your disappointment.
