... failure sucks, and not getting where you wanna go is shit.
23:41
Yeah.
23:42
Yeah, it's funny how it's taken me a long time to actually get to a point where I now can look back and say like, "Yeah, I, I have been resilient." Like, I have gone through a lot, and not necessarily from a life perspective, but from a, like a sporting perspective.
23:59
It's like you do have to make sacrifices and, you know, you get knocked down a lot and you don't make teams and, you know, there's all this sort of stuff, and it is hard and it never really gets easier.
24:09
It's always hard.
24:11
But I like to say like there's no successful people that fail and then give up, right? Like no one, no one becomes successful at anything.
24:22
You know, like you have to, you have to keep picking yourself up and you have to keep going, and sometimes that's harder than others.
26:24
So like, can, can you talk to that a little bit, maybe through your lens or from your perspective?
119:59
Um, you know, what, what was Rob's comments a- and the batsmen's comments post that?
120:04
Uh, there definitely wasn't any blaming of conditions going on.
120:07
It was, it was more a reflection of, of looking probably inwards, um, at yourself as an individual and, you know, saying, you know, "We've got nine, nine guys that could probably go out there and win that game with the bat." Um, and, you know, at the end of the day, it's on us to, um, step up and, and have that 50, 60, 70 not out score.
120:25
Um, and so the reflection was more about, you know, just taking that ownership and going forward to the next game making sure that someone stands up in that situation.

... probably the most relaxed person I've ever met.
123:17
Um, so he took it all in his stride.
123:19
Um, as you saw by his, um, brief innings.

Um, you know, what, what was Rob's comments a- and the batsman's comments post that?
1:50
Uh, there definitely wasn't any blaming of conditions going on.
1:52
