00:00Joff Rarcher is back, how excited are you by that prospect?
00:04Yeah, really exciting. I think it's great for English fans but also for Joff. It's been
00:15a long time coming for him. I think the way in which he's handled the injury setbacks
00:23over that period has been very commendable and then the way in which he's got himself
00:29back onto the field and playing cricket over a long period of time now. It was exciting
00:35to have him back into the squad and in contention for last week but now that we can say he's
00:40in the playing XI, very exciting for the group but also I think a pretty great day and I think
00:46Joff's going to be pretty proud of himself that he's managed to get himself back here
00:50after two pretty big injury scares. Whenever he does get the ball in his hand there is
00:55that change in the game. I think the opposition feel it as well because they know what he
01:01can do in a spell. So yeah, I don't think there's any reason as to why we can't see Joff Rarcher
01:09operating at a level like we've seen here in Lawsona's debut.
