00:10 we'll always kind of lean to planning
00:15 around our false spoilers.
00:16 That is our strength as a South African team.
00:20 So I think that's no secret to anyone
00:22 who'd be planning against us.
00:23 I think with that being said, you know,

00:26 guys like Keshav, guys like Shamsi,
00:29 that does give us our opportunity there
00:32 when the conditions do speak to playing
00:34 more than one spinner.
00:35 We do have guys who can step in and do that quite well.
00:39 But I think the biggest thing, like you said,
00:41 is the conditions and trying to put together a team,
00:46 trying to put together a tactic
