And yet they decided that Include the Wheekeeper.
Including the Wheekeeper.
But they decided that they didn't want to go and play because actually
the the conditions weren't the same.
Well no conditions exactly the same.
But it's got to be more beneficial for you to be put under pressure.
I think they're almost like think, Oh, well I'll just bat in the net, I'll face a better bowler in the net than I would in the game and you don't understand the opposition, all that kind of stuff.
It's like no, you actually got to go out there and bat.
And p it be in the middle, you're under pressure 'cause you might get two low scores, but sure that stuff has to be the I I I always go back to pre season games where or or or start on when we used to tour with Flower and you play the warm up game and you got out for fifteen and then he c every n every else doesn't get any runs and then it comes to T on day and you're batting all day.
Do you want another bat?
The bit of pride of you says, no, I don't want another back because I don't want to go out again and get out twice in a day.
But you deep down know that that going out again, putting yourself under that pressure for that f however long it might be, in the long run is better.
Yes, you might end up with egg on your face and you out twice in a day and you have it's not even a first class game, you have the embarrassment of that.
But it's that kind of stuff which I think this side needs to be do.
And the players have to be told it.
Right.
And we were told sometimes we were told flowers like uh towards the end you said, Yes, I'll have another bat 'cause you couldn't be bothered with the argument.
But you know, 'cause you go, Oh, I've had an hour now, I'm good, I'm good and flowers like, Well, it's not the same as getting out there and actually when you get through that hour of batting in the middle
It's ten times better for you and you're ready for you're more prepared than you are.
And I think this side needs a bit more of that you are going to that game to play because you need to.
