Yeah, my mum and dad grew up in the Western Sowers.

My dad taught at Parramatta Maris for a long time.

Oh.

Wow.

Well, I think on the very best days, like that wave will come in and wash, I guess, like any kind of distracting thoughts away.

And then I don't have any thoughts.

And it's amazing when you don't have any thoughts what comes to you.

And I'm certainly not saying this happens every time I bat, but it's almost like you know what ball is going to come to you before it's bowled.

Really?

Yeah.

And like it might be a millisecond before it comes out of the bowler's hand, but it's almost just this intuitive sense that like you've kind of converged into like whatever the environment of the game is and the energy that's kind of amongst the game.

And so it's like you're just a part of it.

Like you're flowing with it.

Yeah, I think so.

And, like, as I said, those days are rare that it operates at that level.

But, like, it's almost, like, addictive.

Like, that's why you turn up every time, just to try and experience that again in a way.

And I know I sound super woo-woo.

No, no, no, no.

I love it.
