I

think there's a wider debate beyond the guys we're talking about even with the team.

The not getting 100 thing is, there were a few there who had one on a plate.

and different ways of throwing it away bad shots the ball maybe like the way Lawrence got out he was really annoyed and the ball did jag in a little bit but it was like it looked like a pretty soft dismissal when it was like if you get a test hundred here you're in the side indefinitely kind of thing um and that was really my thing is really at the top of the order with the balls they were using this year and the pitches they were playing on was just so difficult at the top of the order And that's where it's like, that's where with Gay it becomes really difficult, is I've liked a lot of what I've seen from him.

I'm partial to a left-handed top-order batter anyway, but I equally look at it and think, like, technically I'm more concerned about how his front foot comes across, his back comes down from, like, a third slip or gully too often.

That worries me more than anything I've seen with Cox, Lawrence or Bethel.

So it's difficult because we haven't, we haven't actually seen the Stephen Fleming pick an England team yet either.

I mean, were you a fan of basketball or have you sort of now been swayed into this new sort of form of England cricket and how they've sort of kind of dropped the basketball
