And you're like, no, the guys are bowling on leg stump and they're bowling half volleys.

That's what's happening.

And then that, like when you, once you realize that, that your, your energy in the field has nothing to do with the runs being scored.

You start to appreciate bowlers who literally hit the area and just keep building that pressure and,

I can't remember.

I know Stark, Cummins, Hazelwood, we'll always regard them as a trio and a level above, and maybe it's a height thing and all that kind of stuff.

But I just can't remember such probing areas as that which Scott Boland can create.

And it's easy to forget that he was actually initially selected as a flat deck specialist, which is what they were expecting at the MCG in 2021, and they got the honker.

He was fine on that as well.

And I just felt today was a perfect example of why he was probably originally selected and how he's forged his reputation.

Like, you know, the complete antithesis... Oh, there's Cummins again.

But the complete antithesis of...

Probably of like the helter-skelter cricket that we have, lots of us have not enjoyed this summer.

You know, like a guy, as you said, a guy that can hit the hanky, that trajectory that's always threatening off bail, that angle in, nibble away or nibble in.

And the, you know, there's just no...

There's no fat on Scott Boland.

I don't mean it literally because that's also true too.

There's no fat to his demeanour, to his carry-on.

It's all just truth what Scott Boland delivers.

It's all just, here's the truth of cricket coming towards you.
