00:00Angus, mate, what a game, another flag, back to back, how are you feeling?

00:04Emotions are just running hot at the moment, but yeah, pretty surreal to go from 6 for the 30 odd,

00:12and then to pull that off with Eddie and then Arco at the end, it was just, I don't know,

00:18a couple of words can't explain it right now, it's pretty, yeah, very surreal.

00:21What was the messaging out there between you and Eddie, you had a big job to do,

00:24was there a lot of faith or were you just...

00:26We just did one ball at a time, it was the old school, just every ball, watch it,

00:31it was chipping away, 10 runs, get off there, leave the spinners there, come on boys,

00:36yeah, it was just very basic cricket, but we knew if we batted out the whole way

00:41that we should make the run, so that was our aim, our plan, yeah, no, pretty basic, yeah.

00:47Yeah, you must have been proud, Eddie's only 16 I'm told.

00:50Yeah, that was a lot of pressure though, there was a lot of heat on when we were out there,

00:54it was not easy cricket, but yeah, their bowling was landing on a dime every time,

00:59so for us to get through like that, I don't know what we put on,

01:02but it was a hell of a partnership, yeah, batted well beyond his years,

01:06he's got a lot of good cricket ahead of him.

01:08And I've been told you missed a bit of cricket this year, you're a new father,

01:12how's that treating you?

01:13Yeah, Jerry's three months now, yeah, he's just starting to give us a little bit of trouble at night,

01:19but no complaints, it's so good, and it probably just puts things into perspective a little bit more,

01:25seeing how we enjoy it, he's got my medal right now, so it's, yeah, nothing better than that,

01:30being a parent's pretty cool, but to do this with him, just newborn, it's, yeah, things you only dream of.
