What's he like when it gets really tight in those situations?

Yeah, really calm.

Brookie's been great.

Obviously new to the role in T20 stuff and there's a lot of senior players around him that are helping him and extremely calm, lets the bowler decide where he feels comfortable, field sets, things like that.

So he's been great and I'm sure on a night like Thursday night when it's extremely loud, it's going to require a lot of calmness and kind of

being very clear on how we want to attack them.

Brookie backs his bowlers and I guess that helps when you've got a captain who gives you that backing and belief that you can be the man.

So yeah, he's been great.

Have you spoken to Joss at all?

You mentioned him earlier, such a big part in 2022.

He struggled in the last few innings, single-figure scores.

Is he someone that you would ever feel the need to go and give a tip to or is he not that sort of person and you'd just let him sort it out himself?

Yeah, I'm very close to Joss.

Obviously, chatted with him quite a bit around, I guess, the way the tournament's gone and things like that.

There's no doubting his ability.

He's such a quality player.

There's no question he would love to have scored more runs.

But I guess I'm a firm believer I'd much rather him in my team on Thursday night than in the Indian team because...

When you've got quality players like that, they're bound to come good.

So even if it's not on Thursday night, it's still much rather a Joss Butler being my side than another team.
