00:00So after the Lord's Test, Jimmy will continue in our setup and he'll help a bit more of
00:04a mentor and then we'll have a look at that at the end of the summer really.
00:08We're trying to set up an elite coach development program, which people like Jimmy will be able
00:12to do and wants to do, and then we'll have a look at that when it gets towards the end
00:16of the summer really.
00:17It might be something that he thinks I don't enjoy at all, it might be something that he
00:20absolutely loves, but he's got so much to offer English cricket, we don't want to see
00:25that go.
00:26When we spoke to Jimmy initially, you know, we didn't say, right, this is what you're
00:29going to have to do.
00:30We gave him the option.
00:31It's something that he's very keen to do as well and he wants to, you know, as we speak,
00:35I mean, he hasn't done loads and loads of it, but he's got what, you know, we've got
00:39no question about his sort of knowledge and experience within bowling.
00:45You know, it's been something that, you know, when we asked him, he was keen to do and then
00:48we've got a great opportunity for the rest of the summer to find out just how much he
00:53enjoys it or doesn't enjoy it really.
00:55He might, you know, someone like Jimmy Anderson is going to have lots of options.
00:57I think English cricket would be very lucky if he choose to stay in our game.
