00:00Joff Rarcher is back.
00:02How excited are you by that prospect?
00:05Yeah, really exciting.
00:07I think it's great for English fans, but also for Joff.
00:13It's been a long time coming for him.
00:16I think the way in which he's handled the injury setbacks
00:23over that period has been very commendable.
00:26And then the way in which he's got himself back onto the field
00:29and playing cricket over a long period of time now.
00:32It was exciting to have him back into the squad
00:36and in contention for last week,
00:37but now that we can say he's in the playing XI,
00:41very exciting for the group, but also I think a pretty great day.
00:46And I think Joff's going to be pretty proud of himself
00:47that he's managed to get himself back here
00:50after two pretty big injury scares.
00:53Whenever he does get the ball in his hand,
00:55there is that change in the game.
00:57I think the opposition feel it as well
01:00because they know what he can do in a spell.
01:04So yeah, I don't think there's any reason
01:06as to why we can't see Joff Rarcher operating at a level
01:09like we've seen here in Lawson's debut.
