lock low mean moments
There are some low moments in every player's career, but that should not mean I would lock myself in and brood.
boys captain century confidence cricketers days faith field good high mean nobody rare rest score support
The captain has a big role. It is important to keep the boys' confidence high and to keep one's faith in them. I try to give my support to the youngsters because nobody comes in as a world beater. Okay, some rare cricketers score a century on debut, but that doesn't mean the rest are not good enough. We have to give them more opportunities, which was not there when I started out. Captaincy these days is more off the field than on the field.

I haven't scored runs for many innings but I know I'll get over it.

Only time will tell. It's not right for me to make a statement now.

(Michael) Vaughan is lucky that Gilchrist has not shone with the bat. We were also similarly lucky in 2003-04 when Gilchrist couldn't get going.

That's what the itinerary we have been provided with. We just followed the schedule which we was given,
captain less responsibility
But yes, it's a different phase. The responsibility is less because as a captain you have to do many other things. But it is the same for all other captains.
