00:00Sorry about this, but if someone gets injured, tough shit. Deal with it. That's how we view it.
00:08I could have, I mean, I was saying, I could have gone into this game, you know, knowing I had a sore shoulder.
00:14And gone, I'll give it a go. And hopefully I'll come through, but if I don't, I know I've got someone else who can come in and replace me, you know.
00:21You select 11 and it's actually tactical. So I feel like there is that room where you could actually manipulate it a bit.
00:31You know, the injury that I did have ruled me out of this game.
00:36But maybe if we did have that option in a, you know, pretty big game in a series, I could have gone, no, this is worth it.
00:44But if I do go down even worse, then at least I know I've got someone else to come in.
00:49You know, part of that was I can't risk doing this because long term, but also if I go down this game, then that completely ruins the whole makeup of the team.
01:01So I'm still heavily against it. Just sobs law that this had to happen the week after I said it, wasn't it?
01:08But my view has not changed.
01:12When we watch sport or cover sport, and in your case you play sport, we tend to think that, you know, we've watched the best of it.
01:18This is perhaps the best that we've seen. And then sport tells us that there is a lesson bigger than that.
01:24And that's why it's real, not real. Where will you rate this particular series in everything that you've played, seen?
01:30Because in our case, we would rate it at the very top. Where would you rate it as the leader of your team?
01:39It's been a pretty special one to be a part of. It's been, yeah, full of ups and downs, ebbs and flows throughout the whole, throughout every game.
01:52India has been in control, we've been in control, we've been in control, then it's come back to them, then it's come back to us.
01:57So, yeah, to be a part of it and be able to experience five games like this has been pretty special.
02:03We had a similar situation here in 23 with the Ashes where we had to come here and win the game.
02:08And that, again, was another special series to be a part of. So, yeah, that was 2-2, this was 2-2.
02:15So, yeah, it's been awesome to be a part of. Obviously, there is that, I feel like disappointment.
02:23But, you know, as a, yeah, for the game, for the wider game, obviously, you know, we want to constantly be promoting the game.
02:34The series has been great for that.
02:36Cool, well done. Thanks, Ben.
02:38Thanks, guys. Cheers.
