Transcript
00:00Wow, you rolled back the years there. How have you managed to play like that at 52 years old?
00:06And you haven't, when was your last game?
00:08I don't, I don't remember when I last played a match. Many, many years.
00:13How are you feeling now?
00:15A bit lightheaded, a bit dizzy, legs are feeling weak.
00:19Yeah, I don't, I don't know if it was all muscle memory.
00:24I just wanted to get in, get a start and then try to see what could, what I could do.
00:29And, you know, I know before I go out, Bravo was saying if I could roll back the years, it
00:34would be good for us.
00:35You definitely did that, for sure. That was incredible.
00:38It was like watching almost a prime Chandapur out there. Have you been practicing?
00:43I had a couple of sessions while I was here, two sessions and that was it.
00:46Yeah, I had one this morning, this afternoon when I came.
00:50What did it feel like being out there? You must have enjoyed that feeling of hitting the middle of the
00:54bat again.
00:55First of all, I was happy that I finished the first half with 20 overs.
00:58And then when my time read to bat, I was like, I'm just wondering how I'll make it through.
01:04But having Chaddy on the next end, Chaddy keep talking to you and helping me through also to get me
01:09in and get me going, you know.
01:11What was your favorite shot?
01:13I think the extra cover push. I didn't expect it to go over six, but it did.
01:18Yeah, we enjoyed that up there as well. I mean, that feeling of winning as well.
01:22What was that like as the boys chased that down in the changing room, knowing you've contributed?
01:26No, extremely happy. I mean, the guys just thought, you know, if we batted well enough, wicked is good.
01:32We will get it. And, you know, we just needed a partnership in the middle there.
01:37And, you know, we thank God that, you know, I was able to stay with Chaddy and help him along.
01:43Final question. Big one. You're the coach, player coach, but you can't drop yourself after that inning.
01:50You've got to play in the final.
01:51I don't know. Hopefully Chris is back. You know, I don't know if I could recover.
01:55I hope hopefully I could recover. I don't know if I recover.
01:59I'll discuss it boys and see if I'll make it.
