When you're managing a team the key is, I guess, to find where those boundaries are, where you're prepared to let people go, to what extent you're allowing them to be a free spirit because ultimately it's all got to be in the greater cause which is making sure the team wins cricket games.

You either back your instincts or you hold off - and you're more likely to back your instincts if you're confident.

Captaincy is a confidence game. When the team is winning and your decisions go well that breeds confidence.

Andrew Strauss Quotes
