It means a lot.
Sorry, so much has gone into it, so long.
It's funny, the game of cricket is so great.
And I said to Rach this morning, she's like, just enjoy it.
It's like, to be honest, the only thing I want is a win.
Finish off the ashes with a win.
I'd love nothing more.
And as much as I wanted to go out there and score runs and hit the winning runs, I'm just so grateful for one last final win and to celebrate with my teammates.
Very tough.
I'm going to be honest.
It's very tough.
I was trying to act cool, but the whole test match, I found it really hard to control my emotions.
I think I prided myself on being able to control my emotions my whole career.
I haven't given away too much of the opposition or to anyone.
I found it really hard to concentrate a lot, even in the first innings.
I found it hard to get into rhythm.
And even today, it was, you know, my whole career, particularly the last end of the career, has been built on process, process, process.
It's just so hard to go out there and concentrate.
But, look, I'm glad we got the win, got over the line, and it's something I'll cherish for the rest of my life, being able to finish here at the SCG.
Everyone's been so great.
