00:03 How would you reason giving Shivam Dubey the 19th over?
00:22 And what was the plan?
00:24 Because he was bowling right in Evan Lewis's arc
00:27 and right at that slot.
00:28 Yeah, it's a tough over, and people analyze Dubey's over.
00:32 But we always knew we had an over to pick up somewhere.
00:35 The spinners had no effect.
00:37 The ball was so wet, and the pitch was wet and so good
00:40 that we knew we would have to find an over somewhere.
00:43 The discussion was trying to take the game deep.
00:45 So if you get, say, 40-odd or something off the last two,
00:49 then you can afford to have an opportunity to fill that hole.
00:54 But we knew it was going to be a risk,
00:56 and they played it very well.
00:58 We got some young guys in there that are playing
01:02 Mukesh for the first time.
01:03 Deshpande's played a little bit before,
01:05 but I thought it was really honest.
01:07 It's really tough out there.
01:08 You can't appreciate how wet that ball is
01:11 and the outfield is.
01:11 So it's very difficult to get any aggressive play.
01:15 I think we were bowling death or defensively
01:18 from about 10 overs onward.
01:19 So I thought they hung in really well, started really well,
01:22 and in tough conditions.
01:24 Adam Milne has had some treatment.
01:26 So he's hopefully not too far away.
01:30 Chris Jordan also hopefully not too far away.
01:32 And of course, Deepak Chahar.
01:33 So we're a bit of resource down with our fast bowling.
01:37 But at some stage, all teams will
01:39 find that they are a little bit skinny in some areas.
01:41 But our young fellas did well.
01:43 Especially in these conditions, he's got so much experience.
01:46 So when the young guys are trying
01:47 to find a way to bowl with a wet ball and be defensively good,
01:52 he's the expert at that.
01:54 He's an absolute master at it.
01:56 And even tonight, his input and his influence
01:58 is really, really important to the team.
02:01 So when we brought Dwayne back, it's
02:03 obviously for his abilities, but also his experience.
02:06 And he's got years and years of that.
