00:00Pretty exhausted, very tired physically and mentally as well.
00:04Let's turn to the bowling. You had a good game with the ball, looked strong, looked fit.
00:09How did you feel afterwards?
00:12Yeah, I was bed-bound for two days. I was pretty exhausted, very tired physically and mentally as well.
00:19I wasn't the only one. Caught at the Bride and Cass on Saturday at Durham.
00:22We went and had a bowl and a gym session and we were both like,
00:25I couldn't imagine if we had to start tomorrow or today.
00:30I think that just proves how much Test cricket takes out of you.
00:33Honestly, it's weird, but that's why you love it.
00:37When you've finished a game and you've worked hard, I don't know what it is, it's just a great feeling.
00:42The nice thing after your line, your long line, is that you've had a week before this Test match here in Birmingham.
00:48But then after this one, it's a much shorter break before you get to Lorde.
00:51So how's that going to impact your thinking for the rest of the series?
00:55Obviously, knowing that second and third Test match are back-to-back was a reason as to why we used this gap differently to how we normally would.
01:04Went five days, everyone had bowled a lot of overs, a lot of time in the field.
01:08We had training scheduled for Sunday, but because of how the week went, we said, no, we don't need that.
01:13We train Monday and Tuesday because the most important thing for us this week was making sure that everyone's fresh and willing to go on Wednesday.
