Just because you're made England captain, it doesn't mean that you suddenly know everything about captaincy.
My England captaincy was not the England captaincy I wanted, that's what will live with me for a long time.
When you are no longer England captain, you suddenly realise it's over, you are no longer England captain, and you appreciate what you had.
The captaincy thing is brilliant, and I love it. But I didn't start off playing cricket to captain England. I wanted to score runs and stuff.
I resigned from captaincy because I wanted the new captain to get enough time for preparing a team before the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
You know the days when you get the mean reds? Paul Varjak: The mean reds. You mean like the blues? Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you’re getting fat, and maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid, and you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Respect is the most essential thing about captaincy. Respect between the captain and players is important. It is give and take.
You know, just because you're a blonde type doesn't mean you can't suddenly do serious parts.
You'll often hear the phrase "science doesn't know everything." Well, of course it doesn't know everything. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean that it knows nothing.
Obviously, I was disappointed to lose the captaincy. I was very proud to be captain of my country.
We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn't mean I get treated differently.
Maybe they made me captain because I've been here so long. But if I'm supposed to lead by example, then I'll be a terrible captain.
I was captain in Atletico at 19, playing in the same team as Demetrio Albertini, who won three Champions Leagues, and Sergi Barjuan from Barcelona, who had won everything, and they were 32, 33. I was a kid as captain, so I wasn't the real captain, just a kid learning from them.
England was always very special. It was so important because the reason Benny and I started writing was the Beatles. During the Sixties, England was everything. To be number one in England was more important than being number one in America because England set the tone.
I've enjoyed the captaincy when I've done it at Middlesex and with England.
No... the blues are because you're getting fat or because it's been raining too long. You're just sad, that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
No one knows what he himself is made of, except his own spirit within him, yet there is still some part of him which remains hidden even from his own spirit; but you, Lord, know everything about a human being because you have made him...Let me, then, confess what I know about myself, and confess too what I do not know, because what I know of myself I know only because you shed light on me, and what I do not know I shall remain ignorant about until my darkness becomes like bright noon before your face.
