00:00We've had two pretty good hit outs in the Shield. I think more importantly we've won both those

00:05games. I know as a Victorian team we probably haven't played our best cricket but we've played

00:12really good cricket in patches where we've been good enough to come away with a win.

00:17But personally to get through close to 70-0s in those games,

00:21body backed up really well after day after day. We bought all four days in Adelaide so

00:26I'm really happy that the body of work I've put in since getting back from West Indies

00:29has been like I guess sort of worth it and yeah I've been pulling up really well which is the main thing.

00:37He's obviously a good young player. I think he got down ramping in yesterday which was

00:42good for us for Victoria. I think yeah he's just sort of finding his feet still in first

00:48class green. He'll find a way to come through you can see how talented he is.

00:54Today we're absolutely delighted to announce that the MCC Foundation will continue its valuable support

00:58for our Indigenous Cricket programs for another three years. Cricket's connection with our First

01:04Nations people is really well documented.
