00:00 You said you needed ways to counter baseball.

00:05 So how do you think you played regarding that in this game?

00:09 Just a little bit better than the last game.

00:13 Look, I think they're playing very well.

00:15 Whether you call it baseball or whatever you call it, it's not.

00:18 I mean, I know it's just a term.

00:19 I'm not sure how happy they are about it.

00:21 But they are playing really good cricket.

00:23 I mean, let's be honest.

00:24 I think they've played well.

00:26 They have obviously shown good skills.

00:32 I think it's not just about-- it's not like it's wild slogging.

00:36 They're actually showing some very good skills.

00:38 Some of the shots they're playing require a lot of skill and ability.

00:41 You can't just come there and execute those things

00:45 and just say, "Oh, I want to play attackingly"

00:47 and not have the skills to execute it.

00:49 So I think there's more to it than just attacking cricket.

00:52 And I've seen at times they know when to pull back.

00:55 They know when to attack.

00:57 So they're playing slightly differently, no doubt about it.

00:59 But they've been very successful, and they're playing it well.

01:04 So they know how to do that well.

01:05 They know how to find that balance.

01:07 And we know we're up against a challenge, and we're looking forward to it.
