Player of the Match
It was fantastic to be out there. Always special to be in front of this crowd, full house, and a good win. It has been very exciting.
Obviously, Finn and Will at the start and Moeen in the middle set it up for me. We don’t really look at the table, we know we have won only two games before today, so we are just focusing on taking it game by game and the rest will take care of itself.
