I was, I was, I knew you were gonna ask that question, Gerard.

I thought about that and I was watching Fug Swing, the, the, the golf documentary and, and, and Tommy Fleetwood, who, you know, who'd gone through his own journey of, of number of seconds.

And, and, you know, he just said, um, along the lines of look, it's, it was immensely disappointing, but it's just gonna make it that much sweeter when, when you do one and, and you just gotta crack on and, and, and we're gonna crack on and, and.

And I think if we keep doing the right things, then eventually it'll go our way.

And yeah, that will be a very special moment for the group.

Yeah, we've reviewed it.

And there's mixed feelings about it.

I think there's, you know, there's the recency bias where you're kind of frustrated with what happened in the end.

We're so close.

I mean, I still think we were one ball away from winning that game when we had them seven for 60 effectively in the second innings.

If we'd got one wicket there, their last couple of batters, you know, wouldn't have held out and given Kerry that support.

So, yeah.

You know, you put things in context.

Their number nine, McAndrew, he played and missed 16 times.

You know, he could have been out any moment.

And down the other end was Alex Carey, one of the best performers for Australia in recent times.

And it happens.

You lose a game of cricket.

But, you know, for 23 of the 24 weeks, we were the best side.

And don't forget that we're doing it with a young group, with a Victorian-based group, and we should be really, really proud of that.
