I still get butterflies when England are playing.
There is a lot of luck in football. Following England is like following Wycombe Wanders or Leyton Orient. You hope for the best and hope you are lucky.
It's surreal to think that no one has played as many Test matches for England. I suppose it's a credit to my longevity.
If someone taps me on the shoulder and tells me they don't want me to open the batting for England, it's going to hurt.
Playing for England is such a huge honour - it should always remain that.
Physically and mentally, it's quite hard. But I'm playing cricket for England. It's what I dream about doing.
Just because you're made England captain, it doesn't mean that you suddenly know everything about captaincy.
All I ever wanted to do was play cricket for England and be successful.
Learning on the job as England captain is hard.
You're there to score runs. If you don't do that over a period of time, people will look elsewhere. That hasn't changed and that'll never change, whether it's myself or Jimmy Anderson, you've got to play to a certain level to be picked for England or even Essex.
