You nearly threw up after that one.

But yeah, honestly, the hospitality of everybody in Ghana was absolutely amazing.

So I absolutely loved my time.

I feel really privileged that I was allowed to share that experience with Connor and his family.

And yeah, he's right.

It was an incredible place.

No, no, I'm happy to be honest.

Like, there's definitely, I think you can, you should use every advantage you can on the field.

Now, I know that it's a fine now if you're sort of caught obviously using the umpire as a shield, but the reality is they're in the way and you've got to use, at a centre bounce in particular, using the whole 360 degrees around you to sort of get the advantage that you can.

It's the same at all stoppages.

So,

There have been times where, you know, if I can get my body work right and time it so that I can get some separation on my opponent and if the umpire just happens to be there so that they can't quite get back to me, then I feel like that's something that, you know, why wouldn't you use it?

Now, I know we've also got to worry about the safety of the umpires.

We're not trying to hurt them.

We don't want to necessarily put them in harm's way.

But I suppose in a similar way that we walk out on the field and there's an understanding that you could probably get hurt at any time, there's a little bit of that with the umpires too.

I mean, they are...

We're all human beings out there.

We're all sort of running around on this field and our eyes aren't always on each other.

They're often on the ball.
