I really enjoyed the role. I enjoy thinking about. 177 00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:57,427 Speaker 5: The game, kid deeply about the side, so it was 178 00:08:57,507 --> 00:09:00,547 Speaker 5: nice to have a real privilege to lead the side 179 00:09:00,587 --> 00:09:01,747 Speaker 5: for a period of time. 180 00:09:02,227 --> 00:09:03,947 Speaker 2: I think my favorite memory of yours actually was a 181 00:09:03,947 --> 00:09:07,107 Speaker 2: white ball Game seven for thirty three against him in 182 00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:09,987 Speaker 2: Wellington at the twenty fifteen Cricket World Cup.

Where, Yeah, just a dream day. A 187 00:09:22,707 --> 00:09:25,707 Speaker 5: World Cup in New Zealand was special. 188 00:09:26,227 --> 00:09:28,307 Speaker 4: The cricket we were playing at the time and. 189 00:09:28,227 --> 00:09:32,507 Speaker 5: That sort of, I guess, sort of ignited our World 190 00:09:32,507 --> 00:09:35,147 Speaker 5: Cup that that that day, I think not only the 191 00:09:35,187 --> 00:09:38,187 Speaker 5: way we bowl, but also the way that Brendan particularly 192 00:09:38,187 --> 00:09:42,067 Speaker 5: went out and really sort of sort of took it 193 00:09:42,107 --> 00:09:44,787 Speaker 5: to the English bowlers and really put a statement on 194 00:09:44,787 --> 00:09:48,347 Speaker 5: that tournament.
