He was then acquired by Capitals as a physical issue swap for Lungi Ngidi.
“It’s really strange; you need to squeeze yourself each time you are here,” he currently said to describe sharing the changing area with Ponting. “The last memory I have of him playing is of his last Test where Nathan Lyon emerged to bat as nightwatchman rather than him. That was entertaining.
“We [Capitals] have trust in the manner we play, we know how to continue ahead. Took us a couple of games to discover that. We can continue to turn upward and hop up a couple of steps on the stepping stool here. We continue to go [like this], who knows…”
