00:00 I guess aside from the occasional playing here in the Gardens,

00:03 quite a lot of history about the club,

00:06 but obviously the more important one is coming up against EDF,

00:11 who are an informed side, very informed side,

00:17 and we look forward to the opportunity to test our skills against this Indian team.

00:25 Pepper, just on your own form, the rest of the guys are all making big runs,

00:31 just from your own self-belief perspective,

00:35 how are you feeling about how you're playing and wanting to make a contribution to this side?

00:40 Yeah, you always want to be making contributions,

00:43 like you said, the other guys are smashing it at the moment.

00:46 I think, I take comfort in the fact that I've been involved in some partnerships with Cunha at the front,

00:53 obviously you want to extend it.

00:56 I guess on my side, maybe it's just one of those patches again where you're kind of scratching,

01:01 but I think you've got to keep that belief,

01:04 but the opportunity will be there for me to make a big play within the team.

01:08 I think that's where my head is at, but I've got to come in with the fact that,

01:12 you know, the game starts in the first 10 overs,

01:15 and obviously with the guys being informed, they've been able to exploit that

01:19 and play the way that they've played.

01:21 Time for Nick Tennant.

01:23 Hello, Sabah.

01:25 Up until now, you've almost been able to settle under the radar in the small cup,

01:30 I know you guys have obviously gained attention as you've been successful,

01:33 but there you are, suddenly it's a full glare of a game against India in a massive, massive stadium.

01:39 Do you have discussions about not getting scrapped up by the occasion,

01:43 or do you just try to pass it?

01:45 Yeah, we definitely do.

01:47 I think from the start of the tournament we spoke about just trying to take it game by game,

01:52 staying as pleasant as we can.

01:54 I believe we've done that very well.

01:57 Obviously, like you just said, the noise around the team, that's gone,

02:03 but I think it's for us to control our spaces within the team,

02:08 but I guess also draw energy from, I guess, the positive sentiment that's floating in and around the team.

02:15 It's probably hard for us to keep going as the underdogs,

02:20 but I think in terms of the team, everything still stays the same,

02:23 we don't see ourselves in a different, we still take it day by day, game by game.

02:29 How that comes about, and then once we're in the game, again, we've got to assess the conditions,

02:34 take notes on the fact that what the average score is,

02:37 but we believe that with the makeup of our team, we can get any score that we can.

02:44 I think we are mindful of the fact that it won't be a daily, quick-scoring round.

02:51 We might have to go up and up all night to hit a couple of balls on the ground,

02:57 but all of that will happen tomorrow.

03:00 We won't go into too many preconceived ideas.
