So I think if you're, you know, you guys, I think now people are going to have to make a, you know, player's decision of your kind of major events or kind of major series, you know, test cricket, you know, India come to New Zealand in October, that's obviously a pinnacle event for us.

And then trying to find time where you can do some franchise in between, but also not being too cooked.

I tried to do everything last year.

Was away for the majority of the year.

Came back with a couple of hernias, which left me out for, I think, the Aussie T20s in New Zealand.

Yeah, that probably went a bit far.

But tried to chase some cash, tried to play some cricket as well.

It was just too much.

I think guys are having to pick and choose a bit more or, you know, making some smarter decisions.

Test cricket's still up there for, you know, I think the way we structure our contracts is still, you know, number one.

Players agree it's still number one.

And then you've got, you know, big series, stuff in between.

So it's a challenge.

And I think a lot of T20 cricket, you know, there's leagues...

Every week, you can go from one to the other if you want, but then trying to do everything as well, play all three formats, it's a challenge.

Well, they gave me half my cash for that.

It actually hurt a little bit.

So I got there, missed the first game, birth of my second child, got there.

straight off the plane, played Delhi, did my right shoulder out for a kind of week.

Came back a couple games later and did my left and then went home.
