00:02 From almost the first session of day one,

00:15 it was 50/50 the whole way along.

00:17 Like it just never felt like it swung too far

00:21 one way or the other.

00:22 And I reckon that was the same until about,

00:25 yeah, 15, 20 minutes ago.

00:28 It just felt 50/50 the whole match.

00:30 (upbeat music)

00:33 - When he was in his crease and then left his crease

00:41 to come out and have the conversation in between overs

00:44 like every batsman does.

00:45 I think if I was a fielding captain at the time,

00:50 I would have put a bit more, well,

00:51 a lot more pressure on the umpires to ask them

00:54 what their decision was around the over.

00:58 And then would have had to have a real think

01:01 around the spirit of the game and would I want to

01:04 potentially win a game with something like that happening?

01:10 And it would be no.

01:12 (upbeat music)

01:14 - Your speed kind of flashed up on the screen

01:24 and the crowd at Western Terrace or wherever else

01:27 got pretty excited by that.

01:28 Can you give us a feel of what that feels like

01:30 as a fast bowler?

01:32 - Woo hoo!

01:33 - Especially at home.

01:34 (laughing)

01:34 - Need more water?

01:36 - No.

01:37 Woo hoo!

01:37 (laughing)

01:38 (upbeat music)

01:41 - As a group, proud that we've retained the Ashes.

01:52 But it's off the back of not our greatest week.

01:55 So, yeah, it feels like, you know,

01:58 good that we've won the Ashes, sorry, retained the Ashes.

02:02 But we know we've got a fair bit of work to do

02:04 for next week.

02:05 (upbeat music)

02:08 - I know I'm not the most skillful player that's played.

02:19 I know that I need every inch of my competitive spirit

02:21 and my drive and my effort to get anything out

02:25 of my ability.

02:26 And I would say every day I've pulled on a Nottingham shirt

02:30 and an England shirt.

02:33 I've given my heart and soul.

02:34 (upbeat music)

02:50 - Whether we like it or not, you know,

02:52 Ashes tend to define eras or legacies.

02:55 So I think that's the case on this one.

02:57 I think it's something we can be really proud of.

02:59 Both, you know, the last two series over here,

03:01 we've retained the Ashes.

03:03 That doesn't happen very often.

03:04 - It's basically been everything that I think I could've

03:07 asked for, minus getting the own back.
