Like, do you guys tell each other when you think you should be bowling or how does that look like, I guess, as, you know, as vice captains heading into this series now with you with the leadership?

Yeah.

Soph's here with us, which has been amazing.

So she's still involved with a lot of the planning meetings, a lot around the group all the time.

And yeah, she's awesome to have around.

So that doesn't change too much.

And then yeah, with Ash and I, we work really well together and yeah, we are both bowlers and yeah, Sometimes I need a bit of encouragement from her to bowl myself and other times I'm like, right, Ash, I need you to come and take the ball.

maybe since but do you have much crossover with the Bangladesh girls and like how familiar I suppose are you against them in that sense coming into this series?

Can you give me a bit of an insight of what the women's space is like? Do they have academies set up now? Is there a school system? How's that place for yourself?

I think the women's space has come a long way.

When I was going through the ranks, it was sort of not really a thing.

And we're really lucky in that space now that there's clear pathways for girls coming through the system.

We get unbelievable trainings.

In our state system, there's now under-19 Australian squads travelling overseas.

They tour us all the time, and the opportunities for young girls that want to have a career in cricket, it's enormous and, yeah, a really clear pathway for those players that aspire to big things.

Are you clear in your mind what your top five in the batting is going to be on any given day and your top five bowlers?

How, how's that place for yourself?

I think the women's space has come a long way.

Uh, when I was going, um, through the ranks, it was sort of not really a thing.

And, uh, we- we're really lucky in that space now that there's clear pathways for girls coming through the system.

Um, we get unbelievable training in our state system.

Yes.

Um, and [laughs] can be tricky at times when you're thinking about the next over and there's about four names that pop up, but it's a good problem to have s- who's on on the day, what match-ups are needed.

What's that mean to you?

Yeah, we sort of refer to it as the friendly rubber.

We love playing against them.

We play against them so much.

And everyone's friends.

So it's always a really good battle on field.

And then it's really nice to catch up with them after the game as well.

Individually, then, where does that leave someone like yourself, Tully? Are you a goal setter that you constantly write down, right, this is what I want to achieve for the course of a year or for six months or for the summer? How do you go about your own motivation?
