They've got young bowlers.
The under-19 team that won the previous World Cup and even the side that just finished in the semifinals in the current World Cup, the recent World Cup.
But the team from, I want to say, what are we, two years before?
So, 24.
There were four or five really, really good players in that side and two or three really good quicks.
As we've seen with this current era, if you haven't got a strong bowling side, you haven't got a strong side and you need quicks.
Quicks are the difference between, you know, we'll sort out opposition teams.
It's that extra pace that makes the real difference.
You know, Warnies and, you know, the Muralithurans of this world are really important.
But you need someone who can just frighten them every now and then with a bit of extra pace.
And there were two or three young kids that came through that under-19 side that are quick, are accurate.
Unfortunately, a lot of them are going through injuries at the moment, which is probably just...
a problem with being a fast bowler.
You're going to have those sort of issues.
But over the next few years, I'd love to see a few of those guys fed into the system as this generation starts to ease down.
And I'd love to see some young batsmen, some risks taken with some young batsmen, find excuses to give them a game and find excuses or find opportunities for them to make runs.
I think one of the problems with Constance, for instance, was that he showed that he had a bit of talent, a bit of ticker and some brains when Boomer was bowling pretty well and he realised after he played and missed eight of the first ten balls that he'd faced that that wasn't going to work.
He tried something different and that worked.
Probably needed to play in Sri Lanka where there wasn't going to be a lot of fast bowling and he could probably make some runs.
Didn't play there but got an opportunity in the West Indies against some quicks on some ordinary wickets.
