Carry on batting.
Bat for four or five hours and see where it takes you.
And that's a real lesson.
We've had a youngster today.
Joe Root in the first innings gave a great lesson.
Again, technique.
Bat for a long period of time.
Great mindset.
Not going up to fifth gear.
Just staying in second and third.
Today I hope it's a lesson to Harry that for him to bat and get big, big scores against the best in tough conditions, away from home in particular, just stay in second and third gear for a long period of time.
If you're in the right later on when you're batting with a tail, then go berserk.
Go absolutely berserk.
But
great lesson from Jacob Bethel we often see young players who brought up on white ball cricket play playing test cricket and they do play the ramps and the fancy stuff and it's kind of like a modern test match innings is kind of what we've always become used to saying you know that little flick over the shoulder or whatever there's none of that none of that at all he just played an absolutely traditional test match innings there
There wasn't one bit of funkiness about it.
He just played absolutely beautifully.
Every ball on its merits.
You could actually dust down every one of Geoffrey Boycott's favourite sayings and you could apply it to that innings.
I'll also say, full credit to the management and Luke Wright and Rob Key, whoever said right now he's going to bat number three.
