00:00 Thanks for joining us Jake, you're in your first season at Northern Raiders in the Warrnambool

00:03 District Con, how are you finding it?

00:05 Yeah, nah it's really good, I feel like I've settled in really well to the club and the

00:09 captain's regime if you like, nah, yeah, looking forward to getting stuck in for the rest of

00:14 the season.

00:15 You can tell us a bit about how you got to Australia and to Warrnambool in particular?

00:18 Ah yeah, so I went to Perth four years ago for a cricket season and life fell in love

00:24 with the country and stuff like that so I was waiting for any excuse to get out, back

00:29 out if you like.

00:30 Yeah, so I got a job offer in Sydney, spent just about two months there and then ended

00:36 up not working out if you like and then between Pete Harris and Jack Burnham who played for

00:44 the Northern Raiders last year, they sort of got us down here so it was a really easy

00:48 sort of transition down to Warrnambool.

00:51 And can you tell us what you're doing outside of cricket, you've settled into the town?

00:54 Yeah, so I'm working as a surveyor for Civil Now, Jason Rogers' company, yeah, nah, I love

00:59 it, we've got quite a few big schemes on at the moment and stuff like that and yeah, nah,

01:08 team this summer?
