00:00What boards can you do?
00:02And give me the language of two boards.
00:04No, of course. If you have a special spinner, a match winner, you would go to that, especially even in key terms of winning.
00:10Because it's not just about creating that impact in two boards, you have 24 boards as a boarder.
00:17And that's something that I'm sure if you have a genuine match winner, you'll be able to create that impact.
00:22So, that's one. But I think looking at this idea itself, I've been very impressed with Rukhra.
00:28He's someone who, I think, has the ability to not just board four overs, but also has the quality impact.
00:36And he's done that in this idea as a camera.
00:40And as the other aspect that you've seen in this pillar is, is he also okay to board in different cases.
00:47And he's someone who boards in pathway.
00:50Because you need to, in this format now, the modern T20 back is the way they're back.
00:56You need that option for a skipper as a spinner to be able to board in person.
01:00So, that's something that you're also looking for in a spinner.
01:04Speaking of boarding, in all phases of having, in fact, their full Australian great boarders,
01:10with their staff, with their companies, with their fields of work.
01:12In this season of the IPL have had that incredible impact for their teams.
01:17And will continue to have chosen some forestry level for half a hundred years.
01:21I mean, that process of transition, is there a talk behind it?
01:25Are there conversations happening in terms of working at the back?
01:28Well, I guess there is.
01:30Yeah, to a certain age, it's inevitable that there's going to be change in the team.
01:33But they're pretty well looked after those guys.
01:36You know, Pat Cummins, they're very well managed.
01:38They don't overplay, they don't play shield cricket.
01:41I mean, back in our era, overpaid us and stuff.
01:44Every time we had a chance, we'd play shield cricket.
01:46And then if we didn't play shield cricket, we'd play great cricket.
01:49So, these days, they're well managed.
01:52I mean, they play a certain amount of games each year.
01:54We're well looked after.
01:56A lot of support staff.
01:57So, their careers are going to be longer.
01:59So, I think someone like Pat Cummins can play for four or five years.
02:02Hayeswood, probably the same start, but they'll play for a couple of years.
02:06Yeah, they've been an amazing attack.
02:09And put together Nathan Lyons, probably one of their greatest ever bowling attacks.
02:13But it's not for brevet.
02:14So, we're going to start planning for the next phase of bowlers.
02:17And I'm not sure who they are, but it's hard to replace those guys.
02:21They're legends.
02:22It's good luck.
02:23They're trying to replace Ashwin.
02:25And Jankoli and Shaman.
02:27They're legends of the game.
02:29It's not easy to replace those sort of players.
02:31But there's enough depth in Australia to recover for that.
02:34With our T20 side, I think we've got to be consistent and pick a team that plays together for a while.
02:39While our T20 team, every time we see the team on TV, it's a different side.
02:44So, they're not used to playing with each other.
02:46They've got to get a settled combination if they're going to be the best side in the world.
02:49So, I think that's a weakness in the Australian team right now is that the guys don't play a lot together as a T20 unit.
02:54And it's pretty hard to come together for a World Cup and to do the business and to be consistent and together.
03:02So, I think our team needs to pick a solid combination, stick with that and play more regularly together to be successful.
03:09Yes, a few more questions before we wrap up.
03:12We'll go to the next one.
03:13Just based on what Steve just said, you had three that stepped away after the T20 World Cup, three very iconic years in T20s.
03:21And you had a T20 side that was completely different to the one that had won the T20 World Cup and still continued to dominate.
03:28So, that period of transition for you to quickly, it doesn't mean you can set up Robin.
03:33And when you just look at the areas that still need a little bit of work on one of those areas.
03:38Certainly, I think there's one more pillar there in Jaspi's Boomer.
03:44If that pillar goes, then there's a big void to fill.
03:47I think as far as T20 is concerned, I think bowling becomes very, very critical.
03:53And I'm someone who believes that you win, batters win you matches, but bowling and bowlers win you championships.
03:59And so, you want to have a very solid bowling line-up.
04:03We've seen a couple of fast bowlers coming up through the ranks in this round of IPL.
04:07The likes of Makassar Krishna, who's really impressed.
04:11Arsteep Singh has continued to interest him.
04:13Arsteep is someone who's peer ahead the entire year.
04:16I think Bumrah looks out for himself.
04:18And I think he can go for another four or five years.
04:21But I'm surprised how, with that kind of an action, he's only managed to have one injury so far.
04:26You say these days.
04:27You say these days.
04:28There's no more.
04:29No more.
04:30I think.
04:31Right.
04:32I reckon, you know, in the morning the clock, you'll see a few more youngsters coming up through the next,
04:37and over the next couple of years, we'll be probably pretty sure.
04:41Now, if we can do that, then I think we will ask that's a good statement.
04:44Well, it's going to be a great tour, a great supper, a great event.
04:47The families definitely are looking forward to, because they always enjoy, love traveling the street,
04:52and I'm pretty sure they're going to feel some pretty impressive statements, because that never stops.
04:57I've got a story about Stephen Ward once here.
04:58Do you meet yourself now?
04:59Definitely.
05:00So you always remember the first thing that anyone says to me.
05:01Sounds very complimentary.
05:02Stephen Ward's first comments to me as I smashed him down the ground before it began.
05:03You've already exaggerated there already.
05:04He said, this isn't still pretty now, fat boy.
05:05I think that's after he played Mr. Peter, but I can't recall anything down the ground.
05:06But I've got a more favorable story, probably one more relevant to the scene.
05:08Yeah.
05:09It's a great story.
05:10Do you meet yourself now, or...?
05:11Do you meet yourself now, or...?
05:12Definitely.
05:13Yeah, yeah.
05:14So you always remember the first thing that anyone says to me?
05:15Sounds very complimentary, whatever.
05:16I suppose you were going to play the game together.
05:17Stephen Ward's first comments to me as I smashed him down the ground before the
05:20end.
05:21You've already exaggerated there already.
05:22He said, this isn't still pretty now, fat boy.
05:24I think he just asked me if he played Mr. Peter.
05:27I can't recall you hitting me down the ground.
05:28But I've got a more favorable story, and probably one more relevant to this evening.
05:30But I've got a more favourable story, and probably one more relevant to this evening.
05:35He said one of the most inspirational things I've ever heard in my life.
05:38We were sitting around the huddle, and I think it might have...
