00:00I think there's just always going to be a moment in a test series where something does heat up, you know, it's a massive series.
00:05You're playing a game you're playing to win and there are a lot of emotions involved.
00:13It was a very good win for us last week.
00:16Nice break and hopefully we can continue the efforts that we've been putting in.
00:25I think the efforts we put in obviously gave us the reward at the end of the game.
00:29Yeah, look, we'll be looking to put that same energy and effort into this week and hopefully we can come out on top.
00:36Never easy, you know, when there's a bit of injuries going around in the squad.
00:41Like you said, Nitish is going to miss out the series and Akash is also unavailable for this next match.
00:50So is Ashri. But I think we have got enough good players in the team to be able to firstly get 20 wickets.
00:59It's not something that we're going to purposely go out and look to start again because then that will take our focus off what we actually need to do out in the middle.
01:05But by no means that, you know, we're not going to take a backward step and let, you know, many opposition try and be confrontational towards us and not try and give a bit back.
01:17I think that goes for most teams to be honest anyway. So it's not like we're the only team who does that.
01:21I don't think there is much chance for the wicker to try that much out. So I think there would be a little bit more for the bowlers and generally on this venue, it's a little bit quicker than the other venues.
01:31We have seen there's a bit more pace and bounce. So we'll have to see how the test match pans out.
01:36Joe Root is 120 runs away from becoming the second leading run scorer in Test history. So really just a word on him and the incredible achievement.
01:44Sometimes like with those, less is more maybe. I don't think I need to say anything else except he's just the absolute GOAT.
