How on earth did you do it?

Yeah.

Thanks, Brian.

It's always good to be back with Vipers Voices.

Yeah, regarding MLC, um, personally, it was a really good tournament for me Started slowly and then as, as the end, uh, came, I started scoring a lot of runs, so that was always good.

But yeah, regarding the run chase, I think, um, when you're, um, trying to get 260 or 266, whatever it was, uh, there's only one way to go out, and it's go and try and smack at every single ball until you either get out or you, uh, you get the runs, right? So that was just our mindset, was to try and, um, stay with the rate for as long as we can, and then if there was an over that we felt that we could genuinely try and even...

Normally you try and get 15 or 16 an over, and that wins you games.

So you're gonna have the inside track really, aren't you, and you're gonna be able to help the, uh, the Vipers squad come to terms with what that San Francisco Unicorns, uh, side are gonna be capable of.

How on earth do you communicate on the field with your teammates?

It's pretty hard.

I remember when we played India in, in New York the previous World Cup, and it was so loud, you can almost not hear yourself think.

And that was the first time I would say most of us experienced, like, crowds like that, where it's so loud, and it took us a while to get used to.

And then this time, I think we were, we were much more ready for it.

But, um, just at the toss when, when we chose to bowl, it went so loud 'cause I think they obviously wanted to see India score 300 runs, 'cause that was the main thing for them that whole World Cup.

And it was so loud, and the most beautiful thing for me was the way the crowd went silent after, after about five overs.

How would you assess the tournament from a USA perspective?
