00:00To the Indian guys, I just want to welcome you guys, probably a bit late, but welcome

00:17to Australia.

00:18I think the way, your spirit and the way you guys have played your cricket has been fantastic

00:22and it's certainly helped the Australian public fall back in love with cricket in the last

00:26few months.

00:27You've played a huge part in that, so thank you very much for playing the style of cricket

00:31you have and for being part of it and helping us build up our public.

00:41Thank you guys.

00:42Now it gives me great pleasure to introduce, I've got a total cricket crush on this guy,

00:50but Mr Bharat Kohli, known worldwide as the best batsman in the world and the passion

00:57he brings to the pitch and on the field, it's just so exciting to watch, even though I hope

01:03you lose.

01:07That was a lovely introduction.

01:09Indeed a great pleasure to be here, it's always an iconic afternoon and something that we

01:13really look forward to, so thank you very much for that.

01:18Just a little bit on us coming to Australia and playing here, I think it presents to us

01:24probably our biggest challenge in world cricket, purely because we're not only playing against

01:28the Australian side, as we all know, when you step into that stadium and you're walking

01:32the bat, the whole stadium wants to get you out.

01:37And that's something that you're up against and that's the greatness of the sports culture

01:40and the cricket culture here.

01:43So I just want to tell our boys that what we have done in these first three tests and

01:48the way we have been able to play is something that's very special and something that will

01:52stay with us for life.

01:54Speaking a bit on the Sydney test, for us, as the Prime Minister said, no pressure at all.

02:02It's something that, yeah.

02:06Dog agrees as well.
