But it has to be earned. You’ve got to make sure you’re a good leader and when you get there, you have to be tested. I can’t get there and learn on the job.
You have to also be extremely watchful with how you bat as well in terms of the lines and defending your stumps
You’ve also got quality bowlers coming at you all the time whereas at franchise level you don’t have that.
That’s what disappointed me, not the players or management.
There’s also quality spinners and the guys in general are just ruthless in terms of how they execute their skills and their basics are sharp.
That’s what I would give to guys. Everyone has their own challenges and they’ve got to find a way to work through it.
I do think most of the pitches the guys have got on have been quite tough. As a batsman in England, it’s tough.
Obviously I’d love to captain the Proteas one day. I think any player would like that privilege.
I actually thought: ‘I’m here, I’m going to do this’. And then suddenly, it didn’t happen.
I then realised it is what it is and that it can’t be changed. The only thing I can do now is grow as a cricketer, no matter what happens.
We just need to apply ourselves, get really focused, make sure that we’re present at the crease all the time
I was told that the world owes you nothing, whether it’s right or wrong
The only thing that really upset me was the disappointment. I felt the dream was within touching distance.
Captaincy helped my game. I now know I won’t go out and try to hack the ball. It helps me focus more, I like leading from the front
