Tanuma

And, and the way that I kind of put it to, to my mates, you know, the, the people sort of closest to me when I was talking about it, you know, was just that, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm not trying to get too excited about this.

It was only really until I got to Sano and off the train in Tanuma and picked up by Todd Darrington did I kind of feel like, "Okay, I can start getting really excited by this." And obviously had prepped and, and did all my homework in that two weeks, but the, the thing that kind of kept me going in my head was that, "I'm sure I'll need these details about Shreyas Iyer and Abhishek Sharma and, and everyone at some point anyway, so I might as well do them just in case, you know, things don't seem to, to happen here." And there was a lot of conversation and, and uncertainty in regards to how it was going to be broadcast and how it was going to run, um, who was kind of going to be responsible for all that.

So I, and I didn't wanna ask you too many questions, Alan, because I knew you were fielding a million questions from a million different people from a million different angles.

So I was kind of just left here to sort of like let it kind of fester and just h- It was very hard to focus on other things because, you know, when you have something as big as that, you know, a matter of days away, it, it's incredibly hard to think about anything else.
