Yeah, I've played a lot of my cricket with Joe for England played a lot of cricket against him when we were younger grew up
00:05
together
00:05
To score that many runs you'd think that they'd have to be a little bit selfishness about player
00:09
But everything that he does when he's got his bat as a hand is all about team
00:12
I remember a couple years ago where he was getting stick left right and center for not converting his 50s into hundreds
00:19
But he was averaging over 50. I just couldn't get my head around it
00:21
There's the amount of times that he's won us the game with the bat
00:24
Never mind the conversion rate because you know converting these 50s into 100 doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win the game
00:31
But the selflessness that he has
00:34
Is an incredible attribute for him?
00:37
He always puts the team first and the fact that he has got so many runs
00:41
It's just a bonus for us. He's 33. I
00:45
Don't know how many games he's I he's played a hundred
00:49
Whatever games in a row, so that's an amazing thing
00:52
So 33 you think he could easily go through these 37 38 maybe in 39, so you know if he plays all the test matches
00:59
From from now until then I don't see why not
01:03
He's too good of a player to not at least get close to but I personally would be backing to go past it
