00:00Look, for me, I always say to people, and I mean, I read everything that's written on social media and,
00:08you know, online and stuff like that.
00:13One thing that we sometimes forget is there's one thing about, you know, guys training more and having more plans
00:20and stuff like that.
00:22But people always forget that there's a mental fatigue also in the game that plays a big part.
00:29And we have to, you have to manage that and you have to be smart with that.
00:32You know, if you look at this T20 side, the white ball side, Asia Games arrived back straight into a
00:40full series now.
00:41Had to fly off the Hyderabad to Delhi for, you know, a presentation there, arrived 1 a.m. in the
00:49morning back here.
00:50And now you have to get them ready for, you know, a must-win game.
00:53So that is, in all reality, something that we get, that these guys are also human.
01:00And for me, it's your execution and your skills will be better when you've recovered well, when you've slept well,
01:09once you've mentally refreshed.
01:11And that is, that is, that's a challenge.
01:12We're going to fly now to New Zealand.
01:15It's going to be jet lag.
01:16It's a jam-packed schedule there as well.
01:20And that is, that is sometimes a tricky thing.
01:24So I've got, I've got a lot of respect for these guys with the performances that they are at the
01:30moment producing for Team India with the schedule we had.
01:34You know, and that's why I sometimes think we can allow them to make a mistake and allow them to,
01:41to have an off game and not be on them because of the mental load and expectation there is on
01:47these players.
01:49Yeah, I mean, like I said, Boobie, Boobie has, he's added to the squad.
01:53Nobody, nobody's, all the guys are available.
01:57It's just a pity about the, the rain tonight.
02:00Um, you know, I'm pretty sure the guys would have had to, would have liked to have a, a running
02:04round.
02:06But, um, yeah, Boobie's definitely in the mix.
02:09Um, if Archiep is fit, he will be there.
02:12So, um, yeah, they'll make the call tomorrow.
02:14Yeah, he's been, he's been, um, he's been exceptional this, this, this series.
02:18I mean, in a 50 overs and in a, in a T20 format.
02:23Um, and yeah, this is obviously the guy that he sort of, they sort of built the innings around.
02:29And, um, at the moment, you know, we, we're trying different things.
02:34Um, but yeah, he's, he's hitting the ball well.
02:36I wouldn't say it's a disappointment.
02:38He's a quality player.
02:39You know, for years he's been classed.
02:41He's been dominating, you know, the rankings for the last year.
02:44So, um, yeah, it's a real test for our bowlers.
02:48Um, but one that we, we, we sort of enjoy.
02:52And, you know, hopefully in the big game tomorrow we can, we can knock him over.
02:59And, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
