00:05Yeah, he seemed fine, so he's ready to go. He's going to have another hit now, but yeah,

00:09finger held up well. Fielding still potentially needs to manage a little bit, so he might not be

00:13in the slips too often. Maybe for the spin, he'll be okay, but quicks might need to wait another

00:17week, so yeah, you might see him running around a bit more. I mean, that's one of his great strengths.

00:21He's scored runs all over the world, and that means whilst he's not maybe played a game here,

00:25he seems to work out pretty quickly what needs to be done and where your scoring areas are,

00:28so of course having that knowledge is going to be helpful, particularly for guys that

00:31haven't really played too many tests or first-class games on similar games.
