00:00I don't think regret is the right word. I think you look at the position we were in in both cases
00:06and they were trying to move the game forward in the right direction.
00:11Brookie played exceptionally well and it was a vital partnership for us for him to play in that manner
00:15and I hope he gains a huge amount of confidence from that, not look back at it in regret.
00:22And same with Smudge, you go into a second new ball, you saw how it reacted, it was completely different
00:28that second new ball and it was about almost maximising that turnover period ahead of facing that new ball
00:35and you get eke out an extra 20 runs, that could be the difference later on down the line
00:39so there was method behind what we're trying to do, we're trying to move the game forward all the time
00:44and when it doesn't come off it can look a certain way but you're never playing to get out
00:54you're playing to score runs, I think as a batter your job is not to survive, it's to score runs
01:01you can't win games just surviving, you have to score more runs than the opposition
01:05so it's making sure you have a good method in how you want to achieve that
01:10and you can have consistency with that and those are two guys that one averages over 40
01:14and the other guy averages over 55 in the best part of four years so clearly very good players.
