In terms of conversion rate it&#39;s a mental thing, I have to make sure when I get to 50 I get greedy, selfish and make those starts count. I have to keep working hard to get in those positions, knowing I&#39;m a good enough player to turn them into match-winning contributions.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It was quite a frustrating summer where I didn&#39;t quite get going but I feel my game is in a really good place and that something big is around the corner. It&#39;s being patient, enjoying it as much as I can and enjoy leading a side that&#39;s improving all the time. That&#39;s the exciting thing, the amount of cricket we have this year is a real rarity and something we&#39;ve not had for a while - a lot of cricket in Asia, which is a great challenge,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n",
