But where the ball is doing something, these chances are very less. He said that, when the technology is there, the nature of it is that I can do it because the boundaries are small. The bats are very good, the guys are strong too, so we can bring it into the stands. Gavaskar further said that, I think this can be a tour that can decide a lot of futures. And I’m hoping that question will, you know, resolve itself in Australia because they are, at an age and at a stage in their careers, where there will be a second ring in which we will be looking for an opportunity.
