What was your favourite moment?
Wish the best for Europe. Donald seems very switched on.
Two legends of the game and one legend waiting in the wings. Favourite moment was just listening to Sam distill his wisdom and wit. All the best Europe I for one will be home watching cheering you all on. Go get them.
Fascinating conversation this. Emphasises the psychology of sport & the acknowledgement that different things make different individuals tick, and how captains manage that. Stats versus instinct with picks, pairings and all decision making. Who will rise to the occasion and who will crumble. We'll find out in a few days. Can't wait.
Sams voice is like butter
