Next year.

Stuff like that.

So I think now that I'm getting older and, you know, close to retiring somewhat, it's kind of, you kind of look at these kind of pinnacle events and things that you want to make sure you're there for and, you know, excited about.

Yeah, I think, like, leading in, I was kind of, you know, floating in and out of test cricket.

You know, the role was very dependent on where you are.

In New Zealand, you kind of just sit there and run a few raids out.

We went to Sri Lanka.

You know, thought I bowled all right, just didn't get any rewards.

So, yeah, a couple of nonfers or maybe a onefer or something like that.

A little bit under the pump by, you know, some media guys and some guys talking about it.

So we went to India.

Bangalore was, you know, we were potentially going to play the extra seamer anyway so I kind of sat out and it was a bit overcast and that played out outstandingly well.

We went to Pune knowing that they've given us a bit of a green seamer like we used to so we're going to get a bit of a dust bowl and a slow one and that's what we got so I guess it was kind of Spinner's job to kind of turn up and

Back from the wilderness, I kind of came in and threw a couple out there and got a couple to spin, which was nice, and then tore my side as I was doing that because there was a huge spike in my loads going from kind of

four overs in the T20 to about 50-odd in the game.

Rigg wasn't used to it, so, yeah, tore the side going for the third game and watched that one spin even more than Pune, so I was pretty dark about that, but, yeah, to see, you know, kind of, we went all through it, you know, we had the first game, Bangalore, different conditions, Pune, we got kind of

You know, the batters played the spin unbelievably well.

We obviously bowled a right as well.

And then the third one was just a real grind, real spinny one at Mumbai.

Didn't see any of those at the IPL, which was a shame.
