00:00 The belief must be huge now that you've ridden that wobble at the start of the tournament,
00:09 now you've got momentum. How confident are you that you can win on Sunday?
00:15 Very confident. Like I said, the belief is back. There were a couple of games where there
00:19 was a bit of a wobble, but the past three games against New Zealand, India and now Australia,
00:24 it shows our character, it shows our strengths, it shows what we're about. So come Sunday
00:30 we're very confident that we can deliver the same skills and hopefully win the cup.
00:34 You've got a great record against New Zealand as well, that must give you an edge.
00:37 Yeah, definitely. Like I said, it's a team game as well. For me personally, whether we
00:42 get wickets or not, it doesn't matter as long as we win. But for us as well, we've got 11
00:49 world-class players, 11 players who can change the game in our team and that's the real bonus
00:53 for having the team we've got. Like I said before, we're really confident that we can
00:57 go there and do the job.
00:58 How's your shoulder? Because you've been managing injury, haven't you?
01:00 Yeah, it's going well so far. Hopefully one more game and it'll go well and then from
01:03 there we can assess. But all good for now.
01:05 Have you been having any injections?
01:06 Yeah, I've had a couple before the World Cup. I had one. So hopefully it'll stay there for
01:11 one more game and then from there we'll assess and see what happens.
01:14 And the Lord's factor, how big could the crowd be come Sunday?
01:17 Hopefully it'll be a full crowd. Hopefully there'll be a full crowd cheering England on.
01:21 We'll embrace it. We're all looking forward to it. It'll be exciting. But we also know
01:25 that we have to be on it because New Zealand are a very strong side. We've proven that
01:29 over the tournament and we've proven that last game being India. So we'll definitely
01:33 be taking it lightly. They're an excellent side so we'll go out there 100 per cent committed
01:37 to what we've got to do, to our game, to how we're playing and hopefully we can get our win.
01:41 Can I just talk a bit about the pressure on you as a lone spinner in the team in an attack?
01:45 There's no real pressure for me because I know whether if I have two spinners or three
01:50 spinners, I know my role in my team is to come in the middle of us, try and create the
01:54 chances, try and create something. Going for runs is irrelevant in the situation I'm in.
02:00 So there's no real pressure on me in that situation because I know I've got to go there,
02:04 try my best to get wickets and if it doesn't work then I might be taken off, then bring back on,
02:08 taken off, then come back on. So that's how cricket works. That's how my
02:11 bowling's been working as well and Morgan knows that. So like I say, I'm very lucky I've got a
02:16 captain like Morgan on my side that knows spin bowling, that knows my bowling and what I bring
02:23 to the team. Playing in the final of the World Cup, how does that change? Does anything change
02:27 for you? No, nothing changes. It's just like I said before, it's a game of cricket. It's just
02:33 another game of cricket that we have to stick to the basics, stick to our strengths, stick to what
02:39 we've been doing for the past three or four years. Nothing changes because it's a final.
02:43 Obviously it's exciting times but we do that and we'll be winners.
02:46 Lords tends to be quite, well, not the atmosphere you get here but could a bigger atmosphere,
02:53 more rowdy atmosphere like you experienced today be a good thing for you guys on Sunday?
02:57 Yeah, definitely. It gets all the team going, gets the crowd going. It's exciting as well.
03:02 We're having a big crowd, making noise and obviously at home as well. So the bigger the
03:07 crowd the better for England. Good stuff, thank you very much. No problem. Good luck. Thank you.
03:13 Thank you.
