I think he felt talent alone would be enough to get him to the top and it is only now he is realising that areas such as discipline, fitness and mental strength will play a pivotal role in moving him from promising youngster to top-class performer.
That is the assessment by Nick Knight of his former Warwickshire team-mate, Moeen Ali, the 21-year-old batsman who now plays for Worcestershire. Knight explores Ali's potential and future in The Guardian, where he says he still has the ability to play for England - and could become a "very successful and wealthy player".
