00:00 I really wanted him to play for maybe a couple of years because he's really on top of the
00:10 game now, he's bowling so beautifully well and I would have loved him to play on.
00:17 I think it's a good time for him to go.
00:19 No, he's brilliant.
00:21 He's achieved a huge amount in his career and he's going out at the top.
00:26 Every ball Stuart bowls is going to get a wicket.
00:30 He believes that he'll get a wicket.
00:34 Captains can throw him the ball and he'll run in and run in and run in.
00:38 He's been amazing.
00:39 Good.
00:40 We're Australian so he's been terrorising us for far too long but no, he's had a good
00:47 career.
00:48 One of the greats of the game, best fast bowlers of all time so good on him but not so sad
00:52 to see the end of him.
00:53 No, I think he's been a great ambassador for the team and everything else.
00:58 He's played in a really entertaining way.
01:02 He's doing very well.
01:03 He's done over 600 plus wickets and I'm so happy he's made a decision at the right time.
01:09 It's sad to see him go.
01:10 I would have liked to see him carry on.
01:11 The sense of competition that he's got, fiery nature, all round effort, entertaining and
01:19 just those spells of bowling that he came up with over the years.
01:26 Wickets would tumble in quick succession.
01:28 It made him so exciting to watch.
