So all of these things, he started in Abu Dhabi with the Lions and hopefully he'll unite the rest of the game and the bowlers in the game because the credibility that he brings and the expertise that he brings, he'll then be working not only with our bowlers, but with all the bowling coaches in the counties to make sure.

So when you see what was...

an inexperienced attack in australia that weren't consistent enough i'm hoping that you see an attack that hunters are packing relentless in their line and length and a much better version of what you saw there as they evolve alistair um and you just want to see all of the same thing with the batting you want to see 150s 200s not 70s and 80s and throwing your wiki away so you still want to see the style of play where they're looking to go out there and

be aggressive at the right times, but then you've never done enough.

Yeah, there is.

There's part of our selection.

And today I was trying to be as transparent as possible, really, because we've been our own worst enemy with a lot of the things that we've said.

And I've sort of listened at times and thought, I wish we hadn't done that.

I wish we hadn't said that.

And one of them would have been with Shahid Bashir and

stokesy talking about the whatsapp group now that's true where we would get you know we saw on instagram or something show bashir bowling uh you cookie we then end up sending him to the lions with all the best spinners we think that are around and we have a month with him working all the time to try and work out is this lad the right one to go and there were five or six spinners out there

And after a huge amount of work, we ended up taking Shah Bashir, Tom Hartley, Jack Leach out to India and stuff like that.

So what I wanted to explain was that actually our selection isn't done in that way where it's just off WhatsApp groups and things like that.

We have a whole scouting network of people

right at the start, so they're across every single game.

And that's people like Richard Dawson, who's the coach of Glamorgan, who I think is an outstanding coach.

Kadir Ali, one of the assistant coaches in the county game.

Glenn Chappell, people like that.

There's about 10 of these scouts that go into it.

They were then free.
