The bowlers executed the plans superbly.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;We are getting better every year, the people we brought in continue to complement the squad, everyone enjoys the atmosphere at the Royals,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Asked about taking over the reins from Steve Smith, who was the stand-in captain, he quipped: &quot;I didn&#39;t ask him (about getting captaincy back from Smith), but as a caretaker he did a splendid job.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
