00:00What he's done is unbelievable and he's always showed consistency but since Covid, I remember
00:08the first few series we had after Covid and seeing him just churn out hundreds and the
00:13work ethic to go with it, I think that's what makes him one of the best in the world.
00:18Everyone knows in the net he will bat the longest, he will always want to hit the most
00:22balls and that's what happens when you train as well as he does and for as long as he does
00:27he's obviously broke the record of English leading run scorers and I think he'll keep
00:32going in that direction and break more records.
00:36I think with Ruti it's probably his work ethic that sets him apart. He's always hitting balls,
00:42he's always thinking about how he can get better. You don't spend as much time as he
00:47has at the top of your game without that work ethic so I think if there was something that
00:53sets him apart I'd say it'd be that.
00:54I don't know if he will because you never know what's around the corner but I don't
00:59see why he can't. The level of consistency he's shown over the last few years, if he
01:05can carry that on over the next few years. He trains incredibly hard physically and on
01:11his batting as well and if he can carry that on over the next few years and on the trajectories
01:16going I don't see why he can't.
01:18I think he'll do it, 100%. I can't see a reason why not so I think he will.
