Above all, I want to captain England in more Test victories than anybody else.
Captaining England is the best job I've ever had and the last thing I would want to do after more than four years is hand the Test job over to someone who wasn't up to it.
There have been a few times in my career when I have been close to tears after completing an innings, but rarely when I am waiting to bat.
Trescothick hates it if somebody starts taking the micky or running other people down - which can happen a lot in some dressing-rooms - and he makes sure he stamps it out.
I certainly do not want to be remembered as a good captain who perhaps didn't contribute with the bat as much as he might have done.
Some would argue the opposite: that with better pitches you should be able to express yourself, a bit like Kevin Pietersen does. Looking back, I wish I had been a bit more like that. But I always had a fear of failure, a fear of getting out, so I tried to eliminate risk from my game.
With all my bats I like them to be bottom-heavy, so they help me to hold the line through the shot.
Learning how to win comes with switching the onus of pressure away from yourselves and then seizing your moment.
If you try and cover all your bases, like the ECB tend to do, you end up with muddled decisions.
I think I've broken every finger, and my wrist on a tennis court in Guyana, and at 33 you get other injuries like hernias and tennis elbow.
It's not an issue for me if I captain England in 42 Tests or in 50. It's a question of what is best for the team in Test and one-day cricket.
You should not be flat playing for your country.
As a player you always feel the pressure and as a team you are always trying to make sure the opposition are under it.
When I first became captain the job was new and refreshing and didn't affect my batting. I was still in the same mental pattern I had had for 10 years; batting came first and captaincy fitted in with that.
Pressure is the biggest single factor in Test cricket.
Pakistan is a very emotional, cricket-loving nation and what Pakistan need is a street-fighter-type in charge of the team.
I want to play 100 Test matches for England.
Batsmen like Gary Kirsten, Boeta Dippenaar and Neil McKenzie have good techniques and can bat for long periods.
I admire anyone who can show they can dig deep. Ballesteros and Sergio Garcia, people who are obviously mentally strong. Or Graham Thorpe. He is your fighter. He's the kid who is bullied at school but will stand up in a fight when it matters.
One-day cricket is about continuity, team ethic, understanding each other's role, where everybody fields and bats, when and at which end they want to bowl.
