I've always maintained - a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.

As a captain, I think it's important that the players really know who you are and what you stand for, what your beliefs are, and to be consistent in those if things are going good or things are going bad.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.

The big upside to being captain is it's a huge honour, but the downside is that there is definitely extra pressure.

The team should have implicit confidence in the captain's decisions.

You know, an opinion can be right or wrong.

I don't ever give my opinion. Opinions I have about anything are in my personal life.

Being the vice-captain, you see a lot of things on the field. You have to try and help the captain as much as you can and lead by example on the field. Small things like getting a run-out or taking a catch makes the other boys try and lift their standards. So yes, I do have an important role, even if I'm not captain.

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.
