Wow.

And the other two or three had, had great careers.

You know, people like Chris Hartley or Paul Roef had amazing first-class careers but, but never played test cricket.

Uh, so yeah, I mean, looking back, yeah, I, I think it's easy to say, oh, you're in the, the Australian 19s, uh, and, and cricket's at your beck and call.

And that was a year before my actual age group was up, so I was underage, and I was still doing my HSC.

The following year, I went back to the national under-19s carnival and couldn't spell the word bat.

Literally did not get a run, missed out on the national 19s team.

Mm.

It's a point out that Diva used to be Ed's batting coach.

That's why I feel pretty comfortable answering this.

So a couple of things.

He's an excellent batting coach.

One thing that he particularly coaches is how to score runs in different circumstances.

not how to necessarily bat.

And so there is an assumed level of knowledge technically if you're playing for Australia.

So the wickets, how much blame do the wickets shoulder for what you said at the beginning, Peter, is an underwhelming season? Is a cash-strapped Cricket Australia justified in wanting to become more interventionist around pitch preparation? And do we end up – as more and more private money comes into cricket, do we have to compromise and see four-day test matches? Yes.
