And I think like we've got quite, there's three of us that have been on the bench for all the games, Tilly and Lauren Filer.

And we've, we just like sort of, I guess owned it in a way and that, yeah, like we're not playing, but I guess that doesn't mean that there's not ways that we can try and influence the

the group positively and influence the games as well when you're 12thers you know Jimmy's looking at me very vacantly because he can't remember the last time he was 12thers but like you get these sort of opportunities to like pass on messages and stuff and I think sometimes having that clarity of messaging can be really helpful I guess just trying to do the best job that we can and like all three of us would rather be on the pitch but that doesn't kind of mean all is lost I guess

you almost like, you look forward to them for a while.

And I think because there's this World Cup quite a lot, like we haven't really spoken about the Test match that much.

We certainly haven't like focused on it or I guess necessarily trained for it.

But like having that actually to maybe hide a bit of the disappointment around like not playing at the moment, actually to be like, okay, but like,

And that's a really good thing to work towards as well.

So like you say, having that like almost distraction, but almost like anticipation for that definitely makes it a little bit easier.

I think me and Lauren Filer have both had the red ball out and we had a lovely session at Headingley.

And it's like, there's just a gentle slope at Headingley.

It's great.

that feeling like I think so all the time in life I get that like I think I've been on like both sides of it before and I'm probably dealing with it better now than maybe I have in the past and yeah I think going into it being like I can still be positive here I can still bring loads of energy actually it makes it easier because I'm there and instead of being like I wish I was playing it's like

And from a personal point of view, I've been collecting, you know, the Panini stickers for the football.

I've been collecting them and England cricket gave me a shout out.

So every game when we do autographs, there's people with their swaps and I get my swaps and then I'm only 60 stickers away from finishing it.

You know what?

I'll send you a list of my need list.

Yeah, there was Olive Headingley.
