00:00Yeah, absolutely loving it. Obviously from the three days of practice we've had, it's
00:05been pretty surreal to be in and around the group and then to come in and play
00:08today with a bat, it's my primary skill. I felt, as I said, very confident from the
00:14back of a strong season this year and I was just really excited to go out there
00:18and I guess prove that I was good enough and up to the level. Batting at number
00:21seven and keeping wicket is a new role for me. Obviously for Sarri, even when I
00:26do keep wicket I'm batting at number four or five, so it's a bit learning on
00:30the job. I'd probably say my rhythm wasn't as I would have liked it at certain
00:35points. It became quite tricky to score and then I found that batting with a
00:39tail you can try and really open up and show that aggressive side to my game.
