00:00To the Indian guys, I just want to welcome you guys, probably a bit late, but welcome
00:17to Australia.
00:18I think the way, your spirit and the way you guys have played your cricket has been fantastic
00:22and it's certainly helped the Australian public fall back in love with cricket in the last
00:26few months.
00:27You've played a huge part in that, so thank you very much for playing the style of cricket
00:31you have and for being part of it and helping us build up our public.
00:41Thank you guys.
00:42Now it gives me great pleasure to introduce, I've got a total cricket crush on this guy,
00:50but Mr Bharat Kohli, known worldwide as the best batsman in the world and the passion
00:57he brings to the pitch and on the field, it's just so exciting to watch, even though I hope
01:03you lose.
01:07That was a lovely introduction.
01:09Indeed a great pleasure to be here, it's always an iconic afternoon and something that we
01:13really look forward to, so thank you very much for that.
01:18Just a little bit on us coming to Australia and playing here, I think it presents to us
01:24probably our biggest challenge in world cricket, purely because we're not only playing against
01:28the Australian side, as we all know, when you step into that stadium and you're walking
01:32the bat, the whole stadium wants to get you out.
01:37And that's something that you're up against and that's the greatness of the sports culture
01:40and the cricket culture here.
01:43So I just want to tell our boys that what we have done in these first three tests and
01:48the way we have been able to play is something that's very special and something that will
01:52stay with us for life.
01:54Speaking a bit on the Sydney test, for us, as the Prime Minister said, no pressure at all.
02:02It's something that, yeah.
02:06Dog agrees as well.
