There will be times when I do stand up and talk.
At the Invincibles though, with Tom Moody, we've got a really sort of well-oiled machine there.
We didn't have as many meetings and it was a bit more conversational in how I'd pass things over.
So
It depends on the environment.
And yeah, there are times when you send stuff and you don't know what's done with it.
And there are other times when you're right at the coalface and you're involved in a lot more of the sort of detailed discussions day to day about selection, tactics, bowling plans, bowling changes.
So it varies really.
I think there's probably two ways of looking at it.
The one way where I would say England are sort of involved with data and they take a lot of it on board is probably the sort of pre the team getting together.
So Kizzee, I had a good relationship with Kizzee.
I've known him for a long time.
I did quite a lot of work quite closely with Kizzee and some of the guys in the system at the ECB involved in selection, people like David Corp.
who would then feed in information to selection meetings.
And I think that would be a really rigorous process at that stage.
And there'll often be quite big sort of dossiers of data, if you like, that would be sent to, whether that would be Matthew Mott, maybe slightly less so when Baz took over, but there was still a sort of an emphasis on rigor at that stage.
I think it was more, the change for me was more from Motti to Baz was probably that
then at the team level, day to day, I was less involved as an analyst.
Now, it doesn't mean that Baz was disregarding the information I had.
It's just, it is a different way of operating.
