00:00Well, it's difficult to say. I've not really got a choice, have I?
00:04No, I think that it's important, or was important for me, that I try and put in some good performances to finish with.
00:12I loved being out on the field with Lancashire last week, always loved playing for Lancashire, always have.
00:18Coming off the back of seven for last week, obviously I feel like I'm still bowling as well as I ever have.
00:26But I knew it had to end at some point, whether it's now or a year or two years.
00:37The fact that it's now is just something that I've got to deal with and accept.
00:43As I said, I'm actually really excited about what I can contribute to this team, certainly for the rest of this summer,
00:51and who knows, maybe further than that.
