I just stood there for a second and I lifted my head and did a full 360 around the stadium and the Gs, like the cauldron kind of thing, and I was just like, oh my God.

And my mum kind of looking at me and being like, are you OK?

And I was like, I don't want to do it.

And she said to me, like, I really think that if you don't go and try and you don't put yourself on that start line, you'll remember the feeling of that for a long time.

It's about going out there and feeling what's possible and what it's like to be a human and have these, like, I guess, insecurities or frailties, but still go and do it anyway.

I don't stand there going, I'm a gnarly cricket player.

I actually, I like both.

Yeah.

But I think mainly because it sort of keeps you in the game the whole time, as we might have just mentioned, it goes for a long time.

So it's nice to do both.

Oh, I feel like maybe take a fiver.

Thanks for having me, guys.

I think that's the point.

Objectively, maybe I've been successful in one very small pursuit in life that, in the broadest game, means absolutely nothing.

And I don't mean that in a flippant way.

I've devoted huge amounts of time and energy and passion and all those things to playing a sport that I really enjoy doing.

But...

Like when I'm not doing that sport, like I'm just walking around in the world trying to figure it out like everyone else.

And I don't think you can approach life with just one persona because you're good at one thing and then get the full experience and the depth and I guess the completeness of what it is to be alive and share the world with everyone else.

No, I don't actually.
