Quotes There are little things you learn throughout your career Having that responsibility now has made a massive difference for me I will be 1,000 per cent behind Rooty and I'm really looking forward to what this Test side can do. If supporters get frustrated, imagine how frustrated I get It's something I've been really trying to work on, trying to assess conditions quicker, and read the surface better. To go out there knowing what shots are going to be hard and what is going to be easier I practise every single shot and have done since the age of eight. In the nets, I would do a 360 challenge with my dad. He would throw balls and I'd have to try to hit it to a certain place: that corner, then that corner. I have the ability to hit it everywhere, I just have to figure it out quicker in games. Just treat people like grown ups, and if they don't behave like grown ups, then the first thing you do is fine them, and then the second thing you do is leave them out. There's nothing good that happens with curfews because someone will end up breaking it. A professional sporting outfit shouldn't need a curfew, and it just shows how bad a place they were in that a curfew was put in. I don't want to say it has helped me, but it has made me realise how big it is to be England captain. It's not just the leadership on the field. It makes a massive difference if you can lead with responsibility off the field. I feel like the character that I showed throughout that period to go out there and still perform and lead the white-ball side fairly well - I was proud of myself and the team. The decision to make Rooty captain is the right one. I'm actually really excited to see what he can do. He's definitely the right man to take over that job. I'm really looking forward to working alongside him.
