Speaker 2: Yeah? I had a sleep. Yeah, we got together in

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: the team room last night and had a drink to

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: kind of reflect on the game. And he'd nice to

00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: wake up this morning and to some good messages and yeah,

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: looking forward to what the next few days kind of

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: how that unfolds.

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: And have you spotted for now in this morning? Is

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: he looking like the cat that's got the cream?

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: And I haven't spotted for yet. He's a good sleeper,

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: so I'm sure he'll be tucked away. But that was

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: some summonings and he had to put out a performance

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: like that in a semifinal from him, that was incredibly special.

21
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Cole. You've seen a fair bit of cricket, played a

22
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: fair bit of cricket. Have you ever seen anybody do

23
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: that with a bat before.

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: I've seen him do it against Canterbury once or twice

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: and the domestic stuff. But as I say, like, you know,

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: that's some world class striking. That's as good as it gets.

27
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: And you had to do that on a big stage,

28
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: you know, really special for Finn and supported nicely by

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: Tim Seifert up top and the way that they kind

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: of set that tone in the run chase. That's as

31
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: good a hitting as you ever see.

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cole, tell you what's amazing. If you you know

33
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: probably I mean you you know better than me, but

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: you you almost weren't there. If it wasn't for Mark

35
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Bracewell's injury, you wouldn't have been there. Yeah.

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a pretty well win few weeks to

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: be fair. I was, yeah, sat in the hotel room

38
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: in the cargo before a Ford Trophy match against Otago

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: down there, and yeah I got a call unfortunately, Yeah,

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: Michael Bracewol was ruled out with injury and had to

41
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: get on a flight pretty quickly over here to in there.

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, the last couple of weeks have kind of

43
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: come and been yeah, very quickly, but yeah, very thankful

44
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: for the opportunity and yeah, amazing to be over here

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: and experiencing this.

46
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Okay, if you have to choose between one of the

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: two squads you face, either England or India, who would

48
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: you rather face?

49
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this question was getting thrown around a bit last night.

50
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: A love to be fair, I think i'd personally, I'd

51
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: love to play against India. I think at the stadium

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: there and I meant about one hundred and twenty thousand

53
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: Indians would be pretty special to go about taking them

54
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 2: down and their home home ground. I think they would

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: be ye pretty special. But both teams obviously very very good,

56
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: so we'll see how it unfolds tonight, but that would

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: be my preference.

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cole, thank you very much, man, look after yourself

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,600
