00:00 Alright Daz, it's been probably about an hour since you were out in the middle of the Pallor Kelly Stadium.
00:04 You must be pinching yourself mate, what a match.
00:06 Yeah, no, it was pretty cool to obviously get the win and get a job done for the boys.
00:10 Yeah, no, we're pretty happy.
00:11 I suppose when you're coming through the grades you dream about playing for your country,
00:14 then your next dream is about winning a game for your country, so what was that like?
00:17 Yeah, it was obviously cool to be out there with Mitch at the end there and get the winning runs.
00:20 Obviously Ross and Dutch did a great job in the middle there to set it up and it was just nice to finish the job.
00:26 What was the atmosphere like?
00:27 It was pretty loud, I think it was 20,000 people all screaming at you the whole time.
00:31 That's why you want to play international cricket, is to play in front of crowds and do your job.
00:36 Have you ever had anything like that before?
00:38 Yeah, lucky enough we went to Champions League with ND a few years ago, but nothing from New Zealand, so that's pretty cool.
00:43 What were you telling yourself in those moments?
00:46 I guess you've done all the work, you believe in the skills you've got and you just back yourself.
00:51 Luckily enough it came off today.
00:54 How challenging was it facing Lasith Malinga, but also the other fellow who was bowling him out the back of the hand?
01:00 Yeah, obviously different conditions to back home and the wicket was holding up quite slow towards the end.
01:04 I think the rain probably helped a little bit, made it skid on a little bit.
01:07 But that's why you play international cricket, challenge yourself against the best in the world
01:11 and there's probably no one better in T20 cricket than Malinga.
01:14 And just lastly, how much did the boys take from that match?
01:23 Yeah, obviously to go 1-0 up in the series, I think it was quite a challenging score
01:28 and the way the boys stood up in the middle to win that, we'll take that definitely
01:31 and now we've just got to win one more to win the series and get the job done.
01:34 And a few work-ons for the games going forward?
01:36 Yeah, obviously there's a lot of things we can get better at.
01:38 I think with the ball we probably weren't happy with how we went about it, especially at the end there.
01:42 With the bat losing three early wickets, hopefully we can set a better platform, but that's T20 cricket, things happen.
01:47 And the fielding?
01:48 Yeah, obviously drop catches you never like to see, but the boys are giving that their all.
01:52 They're diving around and that's just part of the game.
01:54 Dez, can you wait behind the lobby? I'll interview you before you go on.
02:08 Yeah, good.
02:09 Alright, let's go eat.
02:10 All dogs?
02:32 All dogs.
02:33 All dogs.
02:35 All dogs.
