00:00 John, hard luck for today. Where do you think everything kind of went wrong?
00:05 Probably started with our batting collapse in the middle there. I think our openers got us off to a really good start.
00:10 And then probably with the new ball we didn't take as many wickets as we wanted to. So yeah, probably those two things.
00:16 Do you think that you guys were about 30 runs short or?
00:20 Definitely, I think we were probably like 50 runs short. I think that was the initial feeling in the camp that we wanted to get 270, 280. So I think yeah, definitely.
00:29 It's always tough to lose because of the rain, because you're unable to stage your own defence completely.
00:35 What is the biggest lesson that you think you guys have learned today?
00:38 Probably to batter overs out and then probably just to keep fighting like we have been doing.
00:44 So I think hopefully we can take that forward throughout the rest of the tournament.
00:48 Sure. And one more game against Scotland, a very good opportunity for you guys to bounce back.
00:53 Yeah, hopefully we can bounce back in that one and get the win and finish the group stages off strongly.
00:57 Yeah, perfect. Thank you very much.
00:59 much.
