Yeah, we can give him- we'll, we'll buy him a Fillet-O-Fish burger or something from McDonald's, can't we? Um, so yeah, uh, you know, he's, he's been incredible.
But he, he had that- he was always with you, wasn't he, as a, as a teammate? And, and I think he will leave a big hole.
Uh, and it's not the time right now, uh, to think about who replaces him, who fills that void in the team.
Uh, but- I don't think we quite realize right now what big a hole he will leave in that test match team because we saw a glimpse of it at the Oval where England got hammered by New Zealand.
Um, and there's a lot of, lot of decision-making for the decision-makers coming up in a couple of weeks.
[laughs] No, there i- I think, like you said, the, the moments, there's so many of them, and he- irreplaceable player, isn't he? I think you think of England greats, the all-rounders, both them Flintoff, Stokes has come along, which they're all really, really unique players and have, you know, after Beefy, it's who's the next Beefy? Same with Freddie and, and the same with Stokes.
And, you know, I suppose sport does evolve, and someone does come from somewhere, but, um, it's hard to see, isn't it, when it's a player of that magnitude.
You, you try, and it doesn't do any of them justice, but debuted in 2011, Man of the Match in the 2019 ODI World Cup finally.
Um, probably the Headingley knock is probably the biggest one I think of, uh, um, but there are [laughs] so many.
And, um, you know, since becoming captain in 2022, he ends as England's second-most successful test captain with a, a 55% win percentage.
But there's so many of these incredible moments and, and it'd be quite fun actually, isn't it, in the years to come when you sit down potentially with him or other pe- just, you know, when you're sat around in the dressing room, you think, "Remember when he did this? Remember when he did that?" And there's so many of like-
... and you think of bowling, then you think of the batting, then you think of some of the catches that he took or-
Yeah, we can give him- we'll, we'll buy him a Fillet-O-Fish burger or something from McDonald's, can't we? Um, so yeah, uh, you know, he's, he's been incredible.
