In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game. It tests you mentally, physically, emotionally.
I'm a bit undercooked when it comes to keeping in Test cricket, but I've had a lot of experience in T20 and ODIs for my country, and my keeping has improved a lot.
A disciplined, patient, defensive period in a Test match is not old fashioned and boring - it's essential.
The atmosphere and the first days of Test matches against Australia are incredible.
Since my international debut in 2014 the miles on the clock have probably crept up and Test cricket is the level where the pressure and scrutiny are greatest.
I've definitely grown into the job after that difficult first Test against Pakistan. I'd been captain for the Sri Lanka one-dayers, which hadn't gone well, and all the talk was that I only had that one Test as captain.
I think the more common players who have been around for a while - Joe Root, Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad - those guys I know of, they're fantastic players.
It was always a dream to play Test for India, and I was very happy when I got my first wicket.
It's not an issue for me if I captain England in 42 Tests or in 50. It's a question of what is best for the team in Test and one-day cricket.
If you're playing Test cricket you could bowl 20 overs in a day. I could play about five T20s in that space.
I had to stop being a student idiot and become more sensible and organised and that definitely improved my batting. I also reacted far more quickly to situations in Test cricket because I'd been a county captain. It made a huge difference.
I keep learning from my mistakes and take advice from my seniors Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq because I want to be better and better in Test cricket.
Pressure is the biggest single factor in Test cricket.
Test cricket gives ultimate satisfaction that I don't think any other type of cricket does due to the nature and longevity of it.
I have batted well in Tests and always wanted to do well in ODIs, too.
T20 is fast-paced and a wonderful vehicle to attract wider audience. On a technical level, it probably has impacted Test cricket.
It always gives you pleasure when you score runs in Test cricket.
Test cricket is still important, so are ODIs, but T20 should be there too because of the crowd factor.
I think my general view of day-night Test cricket is that there is definitely something there that the ICC can keep looking at because it moves the game forward with timing and allows more people to come and watch.
Certain cricketers are meant to play Test cricket.
For me, growing up and watching Test cricket and absolutely loving it, that's been the pinnacle for me with cricket.
In Test cricket, you have to be adaptable.
I like to watch batsmen who will entertain and, as things stand, an opening spell from Jimmy Anderson is about as good as it gets.
When you think of the great eight-wicket bowling figures in Test history, the names of Michael Holding, Shane Warne and Stuart Broad spring to mind.
If you play 100-odd Test matches, there's going to be little periods when you don't score runs, and I've always managed to turn it around.
