I am keeping myself in a permanent state of readiness - on a "war-foot", if you will - just on the off-chance I get my opportunity to step up to the plate and offer my services.
It's a difficult balancing act, staying ready without actually "sallying forth", so to speak. That teetering on the edge - it's all tension and gritted teeth, let me tell you.
I put my success so far down to my mental discipline, reciting in my mind the names of the England World Cup winning squad as a diversionary delaying device. It can make all the difference between staying firm of purpose and simply going off half-cocked.
My greatest fear? That I could suddenly get pulled off.
But it's a risk I'm willing to take.
