00:05relaxed, knows his game, in a good place at the moment, and he'll play Boxing Day, so
00:11we'll get that one out of the way.
00:13We want to throw a different challenge at India at this point in time.
00:17We believe Nathan is good enough for test level.
00:21We weren't sure about how the top order was functioning, so yeah, we challenged ourselves
00:25to that decision.
00:26We've come up with that.
00:27Whether it works or not, time will tell.
00:29There'll be plenty of debate around, should he, shouldn't he, what does that look like,
00:33and that's fantastic.
00:34Selection is always heavily debated.
00:35Our job is to make calls.
00:37We've made it.
00:38We're really confident that Sam can do the job.
