Speaker 1: They got that I don't know they had.

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,640

Speaker 1: but that is Uh, you're just up and about you.

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: You're a bit of a roller coaster in Afghanistan. Possibly

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: semi final, which was very exciting, or for one team

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: it was very exciting, and then the final two matches

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: only two actually in the entire tournament ago, which.

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: Is very sad. Has felt like he's gone.

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: For the fact that there's been two group stages is

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: they might need a reajig, but they just think about

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,319

Speaker 1: a final.

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: Marcus finally obviously infamous Herschel Gibbs, yes, drop catch obviously

00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: to celebrate and.

41
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Then then stuffed it. Yeah, So we'll get into that

42
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: in the NAS. Another one is rashly Calm was fine

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: for throwing his bat in his teammate. That's still one

44
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: of the funniest things that happened that in that crazy.

45
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Actually the other day, I love that his teammate obviously

46
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: didn't run for two actually can't because he's bad at him.

47
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: If he didn't back it up with that one hundred

48
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: meters six or four, then you just sort of like,

49
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: maybe what are you doing?

50
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: I reckon the find should have been bigger if he

51
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: didn't hit a six the next boll because he proved

52
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: that he should have been on strike.

53
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: I think good should have been a fine for yes,

54
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: doing the stage four hamming and in slip.

55
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then bowling and sprinting in that's still. Yeah.

56
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: We've been coping a lot of hate on TikTok for that,

57
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: So check out out TikTok and socials because a lot

58
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: is happening on there at the moment we are going off.

59
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: We've done some kit rankings, team rankings.

60
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: Sure some love, we need it, yeah, a lot of

61
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 2: I actually love it.

62
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Bring on the haters, it's actually it's refreshing. Yeah, we've

63
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: been going through the comments, a thousand comments on one

64
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: of them just hate love to see it, but yeah,

65
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: we also need some love. Other news David Water, absolute

66
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: legend of Australian cricket. I love him or hate him.

67
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: He has been a superstar in all three formats. Obviously

68
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: started in T twenty. People said, oh, I don't know

69
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: if he can play test dominated tests dominated. One day

70
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: is and he's played his final game.

71
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: Arguably one of Australia's best ever players across all three formates,

72
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: if not the best across all three formats.

73
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I trying to have to think of who else would

74
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: be up there. Steve Smith, but not in twenty twenty.

75
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: Hayden, but he didn't hate play many twenty twenties Gil

76
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: Cruse again, same thing.

77
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, So actually I'm going to get up his stats.

78
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: So he averaged in tests forty five, odii's forty five,

79
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: and T twenty is thirty four. Anything over thirty and

80
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: twenty was very very good. He's got We'll just go

81
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: T twenty because we're in the T twenty. We were

82
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: Cup twenty eight fifties one hundred, so many one hundred

83
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: and twenty two six is just an absolute beast.

84
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: He's been doing it in the IPL as well, let alone,

85
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: not even for Australia, so you should.

86
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: See him in the IPL. I'm not sure what his contract is,

87
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: but I'm guessing he's still going to be hanging around

88
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: in the IPL the next couple years.

89
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: For possibly that bag they're released in the Big Bashial feature.

90
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: So we'll get to see him on Home Soil.

91
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so sure on him man. I saw a photo

92
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: he posted yesterday's passing the baton on to Jake Fraser

93
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: McGirk the Rooster, which it was because they had a

94
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: beer together yesterday. Well Fraser McGirk wasn't having a beer.

95
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: It was having a I don't know what it was, whiskey,

96
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: whiskey and dry, which.

97
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: It was still alcoholic.

98
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was having having a drink at debut Warner

99
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: and he's posted a photo passing on the baton.

100
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: Ye please reply to us.

101
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: Yes we need him on the show.

102
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Good like I forgot about it.

103
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he always watches so he'll be onto here soon

104
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: all right. Yeah. No, we just touched on South Africa.

105
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: They and now into their first ever World Cup final,

106
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: which South Africans are very the prote is. They're up

107
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: and about. They haven't lost the game, broken the drought,

108
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: broken the drought. This is the Y and R for today.

109
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: Will South Africa win their first ever World Cup?

110
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: It's so hard to go. Yeah, because the one off

111
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: game anything can happen.

112
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the vibes, we'll go yeah, you go vibes.

113
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not? Why not? Like assuming they're assuming India

114
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: win tonight at the time of recording, than South Africa

115
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: India final or actually I fancy South Africa to beat

116
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: England and then against India, not tooriously crumbling finals, but

117
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: it's the time to win one.

118
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to go nah, because I do think India

119
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: are going to make it through and go the way.

120
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: But if England somehow beat India, I would back South Africa.

121
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: I think they've been a lot more consistent. I know

122
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: we've said South Africa only just got over the line,

123
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: but they haven't lost. We haven't probably given them an

124
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: up credit. Now they're in the final.

125
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. It sort of like it's a weird reference.

126
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: But Portugal when they won the Euros, they weren't great

127
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: in the groups.

128
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: Yea yeah, and they have never really went through and

129
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I haven't really won. And who who's the Ronaldo of

130
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: South Africa's.

131
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: Cricket team currently in the current South African team chams

132
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: with the ball probably yeah guy, older veterans spin around

133
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: for ages and one of the better players. I don't know,

134
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: but think of in the past, like as how.

135
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: Is he not one of the world. There's been a

136
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: lot of South African greats that would be so happy.

137
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I reckon they'll be there actually, because South

138
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: Africa just haven't made it to a World Cup final.

139
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: They probably deserve a World Cup with all the great players.

140
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: I think so. I think I think they were. They

141
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 2: used to not be a likable team back in the

142
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: nineties and early thousands, but very.

143
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: Likely they're very likeable. Mamma is one of my favorite

144
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: players ever. I'm just thinking of all the random South

145
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: African players. Ab is Leo's favorite player.

146
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: I love.

147
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Dale Stain. We're bringing back to they just bring them

148
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,440

Speaker 1: Afghanistan were up and about after just scraping past Bangladesh.

159
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: They were so excited and then what did you do, Afghanistan?

160
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: You got bowled out for the lowest knockout score ever.

161
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Fifty six fair margin as well, fifty six.

162
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: They even bat at eleven overs.

163
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: As soon as soon as Gobs got out for a duck,

164
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: you're cooked. Yeah, they were won the ropes.

165
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've said that throughout this whole tournament. The openers

166
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: have dominated, Zardra and gobazes have dominated, and as soon

167
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: as they go out, you're like, ooh, none of these

168
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: guys are going to make past ten or twenty.

169
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think the highest run scorer was ten

170
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: for Afghanistan. Jeez, extras was actually the top run extra wide?

171
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: Was it? Let me double check you keep.

172
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all right, but yeah, then I do Afghanistan

173
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: bottled out for fifty six. Then South Africa make it in.

174
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: I think it's eight point five overs. They went one

175
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: for sixty. Who actually went out from the South Africans.

176
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: I need to double check out South Africa because he'll

177
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: be well, the cock should be almost the only wicket

178
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: that they lost was the cock and.

179
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: Five faith but he was like the fourth highest run

180
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: scorer across the entire game, which that is crazy. I

181
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: just confirmed extras did top score thirteen extras.

182
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: Oh, that's embarrassing.

183
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: I think Marco Johnson bowled about six words or something

184
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: in his first two over. Is ridiculous.

185
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: Wow.

186
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, the highest run scorer was ten runs.

187
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: That is that's not good. South Africa obviously win by

188
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: nine wickets. We'll get into some of the bowlers. My

189
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Man Chamsey, he talks the talk and he's been walking

190
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: the walk the last three matches. I think the last

191
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: three matcheses got three plus wickets. I put him on

192
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: the Cricket Today social stories, so set out some stories

193
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: over the weekends of you new polls and things like

194
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: that on Cricket Today, are you Instagram especially? Yes, I

195
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: put him up. I thought he was gonna get three wickets.

196
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 1: He did three for six off one point five overs.

197
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: He was dominant.

198
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

199
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: And then the quicks were just amazing.

200
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, the quicks at the start though, they were truly

201
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: on the ropes. They were already four five wickets down

202
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: before Norki even bowling ball.

203
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: That's crazy because Robarto and Yansom.

204
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: Roberto and Jansen got the wickets early. Yeah, Robarda was

205
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: two for none off his first over ridiculous figures. Crazy

206
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: but yeah, when you're three, four, five down and here

207
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: comes Nrkia bowling fifty, you're in trouble.

208
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: He's the last yeah player you'd want to Is he

209
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the most scariest bowler to face right now? I think

210
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: he is because he's a bit more consistent than Archer

211
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: and Wood. I think in this tournament is pretty scary,

212
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: and all the scariest bowls in the world I think

213
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: are all still in the in the World Cup, which

214
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: is something to say. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, but yeah,

215
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: Shamsy I think he ended up getting Player of the

216
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: match with his three for six I believe, and then

217
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: the batters didn't have to do that much at all,

218
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: making it on the fifty six.

219
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: Shames this knuck up to eleven wickets for the tournament.

220
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome. He's been a really good bowler. The whole

221
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: bowling cartar is just so good. You got three really

222
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: really good quicks. He's been one of the best spinners. Yeah.

223
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: And then Roberta and Orkia are both above Chamsey with

224
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: thirteen and twelve respectably.

225
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: So they've dominated with the ball. Yeah, yeah, they've been

226
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: the best. I think that they're definitely the best bowling

227
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: cutel in the T twenty World Cup, I think maybe

228
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: other than Afghanistan. Before this game. India you're very Yeah,

229
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: they're very good as well. Our steep sing's on fire.

230
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 2: But South Africa, I don't know. They they got more

231
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: balk status about them. Yeah, Australians we love.

232
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so no matter what from here, I'm supporting South African.

233
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: The proach is just because I don't want England or

234
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: in need to win, no way.

235
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're definitely on board South Africa here.

236
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: That one enough robes all right, So South Africa through

237
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: to the final before we get into the next semi

238
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: finals and tipping results both still on thirty six because

239
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: I forgot to what my tips in. I would have

240
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: took Afghanistan anyway because I thought I thought they were

241
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: going to continue their momentum over South Africa. But they

242
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: didn't win obviously, so.

243
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 2: They did not and I think we're both go to tip.

244
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: India yep, yep. Getting into that. Before I say that,

245
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel where we're

246
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: still on that road to one thousand. So we're going

247
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: to get there by the weekend. I'm telling you we're

248
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna please all right. Semi finals yep, the second one

249
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: India versus England. Let's start off with a standout player.

250
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: We'll go to each team because it's a bit massive

251
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: semi final. These are two of the most exciting teams.

252
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: You take out Australia, These are two of the most

253
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: exciting teams in the world with the amount of depth

254
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: and batting depth, bowling depth and things like that. Standout

255
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: player for India, who do you reckon? Marcus?

256
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with cool Deep because I think he's

257
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: just he's that spinner that they rely on so much.

258
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: Is like he's there prime spinner in that squad and

259
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: especially on these sorts of decks, he's going to be influential.

260
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 2: And then on on the England front, yep, it's a dual.

261
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: Rashid who's the number.

262
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: One spinners Yeah, twenty twenty bowler in the world.

263
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: Obviously another spinner hasn't been great through this tournament, been

264
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: a little bit quiet.

265
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: He has taken wickets, he has been pretty economical, but

266
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: not not taking as many wickets as they would have liked.

267
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: So he has to take some wickets in this one.

268
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: I think he's not even in the top He hasn't

269
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: taken double figure wiggets. He's got in the top fifteen surprises.

270
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: So Adu Rashid is probably point of view.

271
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't mind that. I'm going to look at some

272
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: bad as. I think I'm going to India roach Chalma.

273
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: I know that's an obvious pick. He made ninety two

274
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: last game, but I feel like we haven't talked about

275
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: him enough. There were some comments bagging us, saying us

276
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: we say top ten and they're like, no, he's the

277
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: best player. I think he's the David Warner of India

278
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: is in the three formats. Yeah, he's probably their best.

279
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: Is he their best ever three format player? Maybe other

280
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: than Coli? I'd say, or is that. It's a big call, but.

281
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: That's actually a really hard to beat. You'd have to

282
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: let us know in the comments. Who would you pick

283
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: in all three formats?

284
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Don't be biased or don't yeah pick or but tests

285
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Coley did better one day is definitely Coli. I think, yeah,

286
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: tests tests Coli and then is pretty insane. I think

287
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: it's just Coly but road Chalmer should be right up there.

288
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say him, I think he's going

289
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: to make at least a fifty here.

290
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: To even be in the conversation with our colleges just

291
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: speaks how good of a cricketer he is.

292
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and then England, Who am I going to go?

293
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Joss Butler. He hasn't been amazing in

294
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: this tournament, but I think he has lifted him finals before,

295
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: so I'm going to go. Yeah, you're going the two spinners.

296
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: I think the two main batters are going to be

297
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: Rote Chalmer and Josh Butler.

298
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: Well, Josh Butler an average of forty seven point seventy

299
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: five in this tournament. Oh okay, surprisingly with the one

300
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety one runs is in the run column.

301
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: He's had a few not outs because they've had to

302
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: make scores like under fifty. Yeah, like Uganda and things

303
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: like that, so that helps. But he's had a pretty

304
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: good one.

305
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: And his opening partner feel Soult it is not far before.

306
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually he could have a big game. All right,

307
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: we're not. I think we're both going India here. I

308
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: think so they've got more bowling. I think it's gonna

309
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: come down to the bowling depth. I'd be taking could

310
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: be to have his form over Rashid. I'd be taking

311
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: Arstep singing and Boomera over Wood and Jost for Archeryes,

312
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: that's why I'm leaning towards India same as you.

313
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, you hit the nil on the head.

314
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: I think India's bowling is a lot better than England's

315
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: batting if you juxtapose those two.

316
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: So oh that's a big word.

317
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't get a Bachelor in Communications for that?

318
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it must have been pretty pond Oh my god,

319
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: that's funny. I think you need to take off that

320
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Bachelor communication all right. If we're both going India in

321
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: this one, then we're saying it's a South Africa versus

322
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: India final, which I don't think anyone would have predicted

323
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people would have picked India, but no

324
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: one would have picked South Africa to make it. Who

325
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: are going in this one? Quick final prediction? Who's gonna win?

326
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: I honestly, I have no idea. I have no idea.

327
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to do a bat flip.

328
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: We're doing a backflip. I actually like that they do

329
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: this in the Big Bash for when they're doing instead

330
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: of doing a coin toss you got a big bash

331
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: back there.

332
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: Flat side, flats is flat side. We'll go with India.

333
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: Supposed to analyze the game, not just fifty to fifty

334
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: shows a little bit.

335
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: I like it.

336
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: I like it. Oh, Arica is gonna win the World Cup.

337
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: You've heard it here first, So it's roots.

338
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: It's rooms Africa win the twenty twenty World Cup.

339
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I was actually going to pick India, but I trust

340
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: the bad spoken bad is spoken smoking. That could be

341
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: the best thing that I've ever seen on the show.

342
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: All right, so Africa is going to win the World Cup.

343
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: Indian fans, I don't put your house on it. Yep, no,

344
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't do that. I think India is

345
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: going to win. But the bat has spoken. So it's

346
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: like the octopus from the World Cup in was it

347
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fourteen? In the fifth World Cup? Remember the

348
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: octopus that used to pick the winners. It picked that.

349
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: Winner will be twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen.

350
