Thank you.
5:24
Thank you, Christoph.
5:25
And yeah, so introducing myself, I'm Richard Petrie, I'm the CTO at Lynx.
5:29
And as you probably heard from, well, as you heard from the other two, we've been working together on collaboration on IX API for now, I think five to 10 years.
5:40
I mean, we originally kicked it off many, many years ago, and it's been an interesting journey.
5:46
And I think Lynx joining Amplify is a key, is a very important phase in that.
5:52
and I'm really looking forward to working with this community.

So I think that is the big step here is that we are bringing ordering a connection at an IX, we make it way easier.
50:27
But isn't that a good thing for domestic cricket?
50:31
Well, it would be, but not at the expense of there's a tour of Australia.
50:35
The fourth test in New Zealand against Australia is going into January.
50:41
So what happens there? If all your players, including black caps, are being pulled in, and my understanding is they all have to sign and make themselves available in January for this competition if it was to go ahead.
50:52
Well, what happens to your test team in January when they all get pulled out to go and play this provincial T20 tournament? what happens to the Sri Lankan tour, which is scheduled to be during that time, and then India's not long after.
51:07
So, If you can imagine a metaphor, well, a similar situation, imagine rugby and, you know, a group coming up to New Zealand Rugby and saying, hey, you know how you've got all these tests lined up in June, July? We've contracted all your players in June and we'd like to borrow them to go and play some, I don't know, some sevens games, but we'll give them back to you in July.
51:29
And New Zealand Rugby would say, well, hang on, we've got a whole test schedule lined up.
