00:00Well done, congratulations on the win but they made you earn it didn't they?

00:03Yeah we made hard work of the chase obviously we bowled pretty well early and probably just

00:07took the foot off the pedal a little bit with the last week of partnership so you know to their

00:11credit they fought back pretty well and you know probably apart from Mick's knock they probably

00:16bowled pretty well and had us on the ropes for a large part. Yeah Harry was unplayable wasn't he?

00:20Yeah probably conditions that he suited to obviously coming from over in England but

00:25no it was really pleasing it's just good to be two and zip at the moment so

00:29any win at this time is always important and it's really pleasing to take the victory.

00:33Exactly and Mick how did you find the conditions out there first time that pitch has been used?

00:38Yeah that was pretty slow so it wasn't ideal to get obviously first up but no look I think

00:44there's still enough in it for the batters if you're there but we probably I think the

00:48figures looked a hell of a lot better than what the actual pitch played so the pitch wasn't as

00:52bad as what you know 200 runs for the game. No it wasn't an 18 for 200 was it? No absolutely not.

00:58Tell me about your knock first of all but also Murphy's knock you just held up an end chanceless.

01:02Yeah no absolutely Murph was yeah perfect exactly what we needed at that stage we lost

01:06obviously a big clump of wickets and for Murph to come in and just keep out everything virtually so

01:12he was very very important for us. And that obviously helps you I mean you know that he's

01:16holding up the end you can sort of concentrate on the scoring a bit. Yeah yeah no absolutely so we

01:19know you know Murph can lock down pretty well and scoring sort of was pretty hard and all he had

01:24to do was just hold up his end and we could sort of tick him over at the other end and

01:28and you know it was really important. Good to get some runs early in the season. Yeah yeah I didn't

01:32get any last game. That wasn't the best shot that I saw you play mate. What happened out there mate?

01:38You just got a swing through? A bit of a loose one. Learned from experience apparently.

01:43Yeah well two and zip as you say I mean it's a good position to be in. Yeah definitely I mean it

01:48definitely puts us up at the pointy end so obviously with a game against Buniong next

01:54week depending on how that result goes definitely try and simulate ourselves early in the season

01:59and give us a bit of a buffer.
