Or it could have been a “we’ve just been talking about this off air Craig, and you know exactly who’s coming in, but I’ve just remembered we need to be coy about this”My reading of that exchange was that, after the question 'are you confident...?' GC first looked hesitant .....and then said 'yes'
I read that as him thinking 'I'm hoping for two, I can't guarantee it, and indeed nobody can be sure. But its better to say 'yes, I'm confident' - which isn't saying I'm certain - than not to say yes, which would cause potentially unnecessary dismay'
(Or perhaps I'm overthinking this!)
