00:00 This is the biggest moment of my life. Of course, it is.
00:02 There is no doubt. It's in the back of my mind.
00:05 You can't hide from it.
00:07 In sport, there's nothing more satisfying than hearing a big crowd go solemn.
00:11 And that's the aim for us tomorrow.
00:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:38 I don't believe in that aura and all that.
00:43 Like I said, you have to come to the ground well and play good cricket.
00:48 I don't believe in what we did in the last 10 matches.
00:52 Of course, it's important to have confidence in such matches.
00:55 We played 10 matches well.
00:57 But again, if you make a mistake tomorrow,
01:00 then whatever good work you did in those 10 matches,
01:02 it's a chance to be wasted.
01:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:14 Every time he comes to the park, he does something special.
01:17 And just how consistently he's been able to do it for the past 10-15 years
01:23 is what is really inspiring.
01:28 And I think for me, it's not so much about the skill that he has,
01:33 but it's more about the hunger when he goes there
01:35 and the intensity at which he plays the game is what inspires me.
01:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:50 Yeah, I think with experience,
01:52 and fortunately, some of that experience is playing in World Cups
01:56 where we've been dominant.
01:58 We've won before.
01:59 We've had to fight for every win, but we've found a way to win.
02:02 And different players have stood up at different times.
02:05 So I think taking that confidence,
02:07 knowing that we don't have to be at our absolute best
02:09 to challenge any team, we can find a way through.
02:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:22 Has it sunk in? No, not yet.
02:24 I think it'll take a long time for anything like that to sink in.
02:27 And I think Paddy summed it up pretty well,
02:29 and the rest of the group, it was almost an honour to be there on that day.
02:33 And you'll be able to talk in time around, "I was there for that moment."
02:36 Probably the greatest one-day innings, you know, ever.
02:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:53 Needed a play from both sides with Aaron in 2003,
02:56 so that feels a long time ago.
02:58 But we know it's going to be a packed house.
03:00 There's going to be 130,000 fans here supporting India.
03:05 So it's going to be awesome.
03:08 They've been playing really well, undefeated this tournament.
03:11 But we know at our best, we can give them a good shake.
03:16 We've played them quite a lot over the last couple of years with success.
03:19 So it's all building up for a nice final.
