00:00 I think it was a tricky wicket throughout and I guess different phases of pressure for both teams throughout the game.
00:07 I was pretty calm, I think Paddy was pretty calm as well and whilst it was pretty close we had plenty of time.
00:15 Nice to squeeze past and make to a final.
00:19 Yeah, I guess you need to define what a choke is. For me a choke is losing a game that you're in a position to win.
00:27 In this instance we were behind 8 ball right from the word go and we actually fought our way back into the competition and put up a score that gave us a chance.
00:36 It's why we play the game, we want to take on the best. They've been the best in the tournament so far and we both find ourselves in a final.
00:42 That's what World Cups are about, you want to take on the best throughout and we certainly come up against a team that have obviously led from the front through the tournament and they're undefeated.
00:55 Can I have a few words or would you like to answer the question on India vs Australia?
01:01 I mean if you had to, once you're over the disappointment, who do you think could make it, get the trophy?
01:11 To be honest there's about a 1% chance I'll be watching and to be even more brutally honest I actually don't care.
01:22 It's certainly going to be a big occasion in a World Cup final in India, it's going to be loud, there's going to be a lot of passion there.
01:28 It's going to be a fantastic occasion and no doubt there's going to be different amounts of pressure at different times on both teams.
01:35 I think it's just going to be a great spectacle of cricket and certainly everyone in our training room are looking forward to the occasion.
