Perhaps the reason to have the conversation is because if you accept that, like, if you follow the money, it would therefore follow that the best exponents of the game of cricket will increasingly play T20 cricket because that's where the money is.

And if countries like Australia bury its head in the sand and culturally and holistically reject it, they will expedite their place as also-rans in international cricket, which is where they are.

in T20 cricket.

Now, for me, I prefer Test cricket.

I don't think it has to be one or the other.

But yeah, you know, we're pumped at this.

We continue to be.

We've got some good players, no doubt, and guys who can light up the IPL and stuff like that.

But in terms of creating...

you know, like a holistic collectivist, you know, aligned strategy and way of winning these tournaments and going deep in the tournaments.

We've never had it.

We always just bring the boys together, get some ski goggles out, see if we can bomb a couple, have some fun and do it on momentum.

You know, that's our assessment of T20 cricket.

You know, when you're hot, you're hot.

Get the hot hand, see if you can get it and keep going.

But be numb.

just being fundamentally outplayed, out-strategised in two games, deserve every single thing we get.

Well, it's so fucking awesome to have Italia at a Cricket World Cup.

The Azzurri.

He goes.
