00:00 Yes, I mean, look, it's been an amazing 12 months, I think, for Australian cricket.
00:02 Obviously, I watch the Ashes closely,
00:05 pretty much their every game.
00:06 I thought that was a great series to win the Test Championship
00:08 and then win a World Cup in the same year.
00:10 It just shows the place they're in.
00:12 Obviously, led incredibly well as well by captain and coach.
00:15 You have to admire that.
00:16 To be that consistent is fantastic.
00:19 And that looks like it'll continue this summer.
00:21 They've obviously got, like I said, a great bowling attack and a batting unit
00:24 that's performing incredibly well.
00:26 Yes, absolutely.
00:27 I mean, there's a number of players here since I've got here that
00:30 could move up into that position from the middle order as well.
00:32 And obviously, there's competition for places in shield cricket.
00:35 But I think when you lose legendary players,
00:37 and Warner is obviously one of those great players,
00:41 it'll be strange to start with the thought of not having him in the side.
00:44 But obviously, it looks like there is competition for places underneath.
00:48 But it'd be fascinating to see what they do go with.
00:50 But the way Travis Head's playing at the moment in all formats of the game,
00:53 you feel like he feels like he's ready to step in and be one of Australia's
00:56 top, top players in all formats of the game.
