So it, I mean, South Africa is going to be a huge test.
Bangladesh will be a huge test, but South Africa, huge test.
I mean, Rabada and Jansen, they'll be licking their chops, right?
Early season.
Yeah.
in the high felt and then into New Zealand who are going to bring a pretty good attack out here obviously no Williamson now their batting is probably as vulnerable as Australia's in certain conditions and then to India it feels like they're probably Australia's got them going there at the wrong time having gone having India gone through a pretty tough period at home over the last two years that they might have their they might have their squad back together playing the brand that they want in home conditions so it all flows into it and then into an ashes and who knows what England are going to throw
Yeah, he does.
And there's higher value on that.
exponentially higher value on that than a list a hundred for Western Australia to run a ball at cricket central in September or, you know what I mean?
Like I don't mean to, I don't mean to denigrate, I don't mean to denigrate that, but there's a clear, the white ball set up as a, there's a clear difference facing that pressure, guiding a team home against a team that is bowling well in home conditions, defending a decent score and,
And also playing in the IPL, if I'll shot percentage aside, he did play very well and he took down great bowlers and was exposed to the highest pressure you could possibly be exposed to.

They can go back to domestic cricket and dominate there, but there's nothing that is helping them other than a score at international level.
Those guys would get a huge kick from one big score in a key moment in an international game.
That would click them back into gear.
