00:00It's so good to be home. I've basically spent two days at home since the start of the New Zealand trip, which is early Feb.

00:07So, yeah, it's tough just to have a bit of normality, sleep in my own bed, cook dinners.

00:14Yeah, it's great. I think a fair few people, a few of the boys in the single boat to me, we're all kind of

00:20pretty happy to be home.

00:22It's all good things, being away.

00:25It's more just, you know, a bit of rest at home, especially with the fast boat.

00:30For me, it's doing lots of strength work, fitness work.

00:33Just trying to fill up the bucket again after pretty much two years of non-stop bowling.

00:39So, I'll have close to two months totally off bowling.

00:42So hopefully come that first Test match, that's as good a condition as I've been in for probably half a dozen years.

00:48Hopefully that's the aim.

00:50So it is important. You kind of can't go forever.

00:53So hopefully, you know, a couple of months. Don't waste that boat.
