00:00I think he's done a terrific job with England over the last couple of years.

00:05The style that they play, I guess, suits them, led by him and Baz, obviously.

00:10So look, he's done a great job and potentially someone that you don't want to get too riled

00:16up.

00:17He's had a few performances against us where he's either taken the game away from us or

00:23clawed it back.

00:24So he's a quality performer, whether it's bat ball or in the field, he's always in the

00:29game and giving 110%.

00:32So yeah, hopefully we can keep him quiet this series.
