What's it like going 30 00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:42,813 Speaker 3: up against Bears and Bears ball? 31 00:01:44,173 --> 00:01:46,893 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, they're a strong outfit and obviously they are 32 00:01:46,893 --> 00:01:48,653 Speaker 4: a team that likes to take the game on, so 33 00:01:49,013 --> 00:01:51,533 Speaker 4: I'm sure they'll look to do that. And I mean 34 00:01:52,093 --> 00:01:54,173 Speaker 4: the positive thing, it's always going to be exciting cricket. 35 00:01:54,293 --> 00:01:57,493 Speaker 4: So no, we're looking forward to the challenge. Yeah. 36 00:01:57,533 --> 00:01:59,493 Speaker 2: And what's happening with the keeper situation. 37 00:01:59,173 --> 00:02:01,853 Speaker 4: Matt with the keeper? 38 00:02:01,933 --> 00:02:03,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Wikie keeper. 39 00:02:02,853 --> 00:02:05,933 Speaker 3: The English English keeper. There's been some some movement there. 40 00:02:06,853 --> 00:02:08,853 Speaker 4: Oh yes, yeah, yeah, so I've so are best all 41 00:02:08,933 --> 00:02:12,573 Speaker 4: coming in? Yeah? Well, he's obviously a destructive player in 42 00:02:12,613 --> 00:02:15,733 Speaker 4: the white ball and he'll get an opportunity in terms 43 00:02:15,733 --> 00:02:17,933 Speaker 4: of the Test stuff, so you know, I'm sure he'll 44 00:02:17,933 --> 00:02:20,133 Speaker 4: be looking for to getting into Test cricket. 45 00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:22,173 Speaker 3: How much research have you done and do you do 46 00:02:22,693 --> 00:02:24,773 Speaker 3: with each of the batsmen? And when when there's a 47 00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:27,132 Speaker 3: change in the lineup, a different person at number three, 48 00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:28,852 Speaker 3: how much does that change what you do? 49 00:02:30,373 --> 00:02:32,373 Speaker 4: Well, the beauty is with there's so much cricket now 50 00:02:32,373 --> 00:02:35,013 Speaker 4: in flottage, so you obviously you can put plans in place, 51 00:02:35,093 --> 00:02:37,653 Speaker 4: but the key thing is probably the decisions you're making 52 00:02:37,693 --> 00:02:40,493 Speaker 4: out there and the ability to adapt. So that's the 53 00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:42,453 Speaker 4: beauty of county cricket. A lot of a lot of 54 00:02:42,573 --> 00:02:45,213 Speaker 4: us have played county cricket, so if you guys have 55 00:02:45,213 --> 00:02:48,373 Speaker 4: played with him, and I think you do what you 56 00:02:48,413 --> 00:02:51,053 Speaker 4: can do in the planning sense, but the main thing 57 00:02:51,133 --> 00:02:53,053 Speaker 4: is you're actually playing the game that's put in front 58 00:02:53,053 --> 00:02:55,013 Speaker 4: of you and the player as well, so hopefully we 59 00:02:55,093 --> 00:02:57,692 Speaker 4: can yeah that. 60 00:02:58,293 --> 00:03:00,333 Speaker 3: So there's a bit of a changing regard of the 61 00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:03,693 Speaker 3: bowling attack. You're now you're now leading it and it's 62 00:03:03,733 --> 00:03:06,893 Speaker 3: your opportunity to shine in every game. What about the 63 00:03:06,893 --> 00:03:07,853 Speaker 3: guys backing you up? 64 00:03:09,453 --> 00:03:11,933 Speaker 4: Oh, look, I think a volume group has been strong 65 00:03:11,972 --> 00:03:16,613 Speaker 4: for a long time now, and it's with him retiring 66 00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:18,173 Speaker 4: at the end of the series, I think it's just 67 00:03:18,213 --> 00:03:21,093 Speaker 4: a great series to probably celebrate what's been an amazing 68 00:03:21,133 --> 00:03:23,173 Speaker 4: career for him. And we've still got some young guys 69 00:03:23,213 --> 00:03:25,893 Speaker 4: coming in as well be able to get that knowledge 70 00:03:25,893 --> 00:03:29,093 Speaker 4: from him. And yeah, I think it's shown with Ben 71 00:03:29,173 --> 00:03:32,653 Speaker 4: Sears and Willow Rock coming in that there's been that 72 00:03:32,653 --> 00:03:35,213 Speaker 4: that depth and that I suppose that young time as well, 73 00:03:35,253 --> 00:03:37,533 Speaker 4: and they've shown on the world stage what they can do. 74 00:03:37,733 --> 00:03:40,813 Speaker 4: So yeah, just an exciting time to be a fast 75 00:03:40,813 --> 00:03:41,693 Speaker 4: bowl in New Zealand. Really. 76 00:03:41,813 --> 00:03:44,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hagley is your home hunting ground, Matt beautiful Oval 77 00:03:45,053 --> 00:03:47,053 Speaker 2: that one.
