00:00Look, first test match, obviously there are nerves, it's a great honour, as he's already

00:05mentioned that captaining the test side, not many people get that opportunity and he was

00:11phenomenal.

00:12More importantly, I think the way he batted in the first inning, obviously I'm sure he

00:15would have had his own nerves, being the captain for the first time and then getting 100.

00:19So everything that it takes for him to be a successful captain, we've got to just give

00:24him time.

00:25It's still very early days, he's only captain for the first time, I'm sure he's going to

00:28get better.

00:29And these are tough places to captain, so it's like pushing someone in deep sea and

00:33I'm sure he's going to come out as a proper professional.
