00:00from almost the first session of day one it was 50-50 the whole way along like it just never felt

00:18like it swung too far one way or the other and i reckon that was the same until about

00:24yeah 15-20 minutes ago just felt 50-50 the whole match

00:30johnny was in his crease and then left his crease to come out and have the

00:41conversation in between overs like every batsman does um i think if if i was a fielding captain at

00:48the time i would have put a bit more well a lot more pressure on the umpires to to ask them what

00:53their decision was around the over and then would have had to have a a real think around the spirit

01:01of the game and would i want to potentially win a game with something like that happening and it would
