I've had plenty of lean patches over the years and it's a tough one.

The game of cricket is built around a player failing more often than they succeed, if we judge it by 50s, or 100s or five wickets.

I think from the batting side, it's really about it getting it back to (taking it) one ball at a time and watching the ball.

Players will look at me and go, 'oh, here he goes again'. You want something more but it really is about trying to keep it as simple as possible.
