00:15in terms of Gus and Woody in terms of what they add with their pace, you can then sort

00:21of work it a little bit better with the spinner. You know, Woody didn't get the rewards he

00:26did, he should have done last week, but I think the partnership that, you know, he

00:30worked with Bash, you know, at the other end, that's where the wickets came from. I think

00:36Woody does know how much he affects the game, even if he's not getting the wickets in the

00:39column, because there's just a different feel whenever he comes on to bowl a spell. But

00:43yeah, you know, even though I'm only one more option, it generally feels like I've got,

00:47you know, four or five more because I can sort of manipulate the bowling attack a bit

00:50more and try and use the two guys at either end as a partnership as opposed to just going

00:55right, you have a spell that and you have a spell that, and if that makes sense.
