Yeah, I'm good, thank you.

And thanks for having me on.

I still enjoy test cricket, but yeah, I've not worked as an analyst on test matches.

So yeah, I'm sort of committed to the new age of white ball cricket and freelancing around the world.

Ching-ching.

Well, yeah.

I mean, if for whatever reason they did look for a change, he would be someone who would be high up that list, in my opinion.

I mean, he's been excellent to work with, not only at the Desert Vipers, but at the Oval Invincibles, where although Sam Billings has obviously been the captain

Sam Curran's been part of our leadership group and Bilbo and him have got a great relationship and they were sort of, you know, very closely involved in a lot of the tactical discussions there.

So I've had quite a lot of exposure to him as a tactician and as a leader.

And I've got nothing but good things to say about him, really.

I mean, he's a little bit like he is as a cricketer, you know,

fiercely competitive and wants to win desperately.

And that sort of channeled into his decision-making.

He's not afraid to make tough decisions.

He also leads from the front in the way that, you know, both with bat and ball, which I think is always a good thing and probably takes a bit of pressure off him as a player.

He's not a captain who seemingly struggles with that extra pressure.

In fact, he thrives on it.

And I think that, you know, you don't avoid any complications about your captain being out of form and should he be in the side with Curran.

I think he's elevated by the role.
