00:00There's going to be fantastic

00:02Entertainment around the game. So it's going to be just a really wonderful festival and just encourage everyone as we saw with the border

00:09Gavis car jump online and show your support for these two exceptional teams

00:15So it's now my great pleasure to

00:19Introduce Ash Gardner. Thank you

00:30a

00:36Little bit like

00:42Yeah, definitely I don't think we go into any to a wanting to draw

00:48Certainly the way that we started through the test match winning the first t20

00:51we were in the box seat and then just got outplayed in the white ball series and certainly going forward with

00:58Spoken a lot about what we can do better

01:02Coming up against probably our fiercest rivals and a team that we have a lot of great competition against

01:08Certainly the white ball series is going to be a big focus for us

01:12But even just looking at that test match to finish. Hopefully the ashes is in a balancing spot by that point

01:18And then we can really fight it out to win that test match and then hopefully come away with the ashes

01:28It's probably just winning those small moments that sounds really cliche

01:32But I think teams that play in the white ball format really well

01:36They do the 1% is really right and I know how to get other out of those tough positions

01:41I know with the ball looking back in England. We probably didn't execute well enough, but we've certainly done a lot of talking

01:48We've yeah, I guess got some players that are playing different roles at the moment with the ball in hands

01:53But then I think with the bat as well

01:54It's making sure that we're taking the game on and we're not kind of worrying about the consequences

01:58And I think just looking back more recently at the ODIs that we've just played

02:03I certainly think we did that different people are stood up in different times and it's super exciting to say where this team can be

02:17Yeah heaps and

02:18Certainly the top four throughout probably the first series would have loved to have yes spent heaps of time out in the middle and then

02:26We got to see what Annabelle Sutherland so good at and I guess you're pulling us out of some tricky positions

02:31And even someone like Tylee McGrath who was batting in a different position

02:35Found herself having plenty of time in the middle and scoring some really important runs as well

02:41So I think from a batting point of view

02:43I guess our top eight want to spend as much time out in the middle as possible

02:47Certainly for I guess our top order

02:49They want to get us off to a really good start and then

02:51Plays like myself through the middle can kind of just play with a bit more freedom

02:58I think it's good. She's obviously playing in the GG's match

03:02To I guess prove her fitness and just to make sure that she's where she wants to be

03:07But yeah, she obviously showed through that New Zealand series

03:12What she's capable of what we've kind of missed the top of the order sometimes when she's not there

03:16She really just takes that power play on and

03:18Certainly from her leadership

03:20Perspective as well. She's she's such a

03:23Experienced head out on the field and in those tough moments. Yeah, she's certainly someone that steps up

03:28I

03:42Mean if she wants to keep throughout our series, no

03:45Yeah, she's she's kept her whole career

03:47So I don't see it necessarily being a risk

03:49But it's more so probably just peace of mind for her peace of mind for our medical staff that she can do it

03:55We obviously have seven games throughout the Ashes series and potentially keeping in the test match is going to be

04:01Literally the biggest test for her

04:02So hopefully she gets through the GG's match fine and then has some confidence coming into the Ashes series, which is so important for us

04:13Yeah, exactly right moons is someone that's a very good feeling not that she's by any means of feeling

04:19But yeah, we obviously know that if if midge isn't right

04:22We do have someone that's pretty good to step up behind the stumps

04:39That there's probably been more chat towards the t20 stuff, which we've obviously played a lot more recently

04:44I think ODI crickets one of the one of the formats that we do play really well

04:50And it's probably just finding where people's roles are and I guess the most suitable spot for them

04:55And we had a bit of a change around in our batting order obviously seeing bells you go up to five
