But as I said earlier, it's finding that sweet spot in the middle.
Because you go too hard on them, like your kids, then they rebel one way.
So it's trying to find that.
And I think, for the most part, this team...
is actually we've tried to trust them as much as we can and they've made good decisions the harry brook wellington incident you know clearly hit us hit us hard and harry no more so than harry in particular he's not the first person he probably won't be the last either to do that but i'm hoping that will be the making of him and going back to that decision
You know, a lot of the stuff that I've read and seen, we've spoken about, we debated all of those things.
When you're in these positions, you've got to make a decision.
And we believe that Harry Brooke made a horrendous mistake, but he came to us.
And also, Harry, up to that point, had a pretty clean slate.
He also is...
once the ipo if you remember now if you pull out of the ipl auction you get banned for three years so in harry brooks case that could be two million dollars and before any of this wellington
business came about, Harry Brook had committed to English cricket.
He had said, no, no, I am going to, I don't want to go to the IPL.
I'll get banned for three years because I want to do what's best for England cricket and my England cricket career.
And I believe that deserves some credit.
And that's why we made the decision we did.
The management, that 9 o'clock one's a different thing because that's about security as much as anything else, making sure that people are aware of where they are and it's not a hard and fast rule.
We just need to, you know, when you're in different countries around the world, it's just...
You know, and it happens in franchise cricket, everything now where people just inform the manager of where they are.
So, you know, your security teams can just be across everything.
