1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: From the Australian Here's what's on the front. I'm Claire Harvey.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, November twenty sixth Australian Federal Police have lifted

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: the lid on a Manila cyberscam center, where they say

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: up to five thousand Australian men could have been fleeced

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: through dating websites. Penny Wong is refusing to say whether

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: Australia would enforce an international criminal Court warrant to arrest

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a further distancing of the

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Albanese government from support of Israel. Those stories alive now

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: at the Australian dot com Doyu. With its immense wealth

10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: and shocking poverty, India can make Dickenzie and London look

11
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: like Disneyland. And today there's a story worthy of any

12
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: cinema fairytale, the homeless kid who has risen to become

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: a multi millionaire superstar of Indian cricket. It almost makes

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: it less painful to watch him humiliating our test team today,

15
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: the remarkable rise of Yashaspi Jaiswa in the vast, glorious,

16
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: fragrant chaos of India on every street corner and every

17
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: bit of green space you'll see kids playing cricket. One

18
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: of those, a ten year old boy boards a train

19
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: with his dad, setting out from the northern state of

20
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Uttar Pradesh bound for Mumbai, one thousand kilometers away. This kid,

21
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: even in this cricket obsessed country, stands out as something special.

22
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: His parents own a small business, and dad leaves the

23
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: boy to stay with an uncle while he pursues his

24
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: dream joining a training academy at the city famous Azad

25
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Maidowan cricket ground. The uncle finds him board and lodging

26
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: in a shop, but the boy is too exhausted by

27
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: long days of cricket to work in the shop at night,

28
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: and he's kicked out. His parents urge him to come home,

29
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: but the boys determined to stay in the big city,

30
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: and so he moves into a tent on the outskirts

31
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: of the cricket ground, sleeping alongside the groundsman and greenkeepers.

32
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: There's no electricity or running water. Sometimes he has to

33
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: beg for food, other times he earns a few rupees

34
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: helping the local street food vendors sell their snacks.

35
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: I can't think of anything more rags to more riches

36
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: than this.

37
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: This is the Australian's Will Swanton.

38
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: It's such an amazing fairy tale, It's got movie scripts

39
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: written all over it.

40
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: This young boy is Yeshvasi Jayswil. Eventually, into the despair

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: steps a coach Joala Singh, who sees young jay Swell

42
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: in the nets at Asad Maidan. Singh knows what it's

43
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: like to be a penniless young player sleeping rough. He

44
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: invites Jaycewell, then twelve, to live with his family and

45
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: takes him on as a student. Now Jaswell is twenty two,

46
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: a multi millionaire and the undisputed superstar of the Indian

47
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Test team, scoring one hundred and sixty one runs and

48
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: a standing ovation from the crowd in the weekend's first

49
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: test of the Border Gavesgard Trophy in Perth. Oh well,

50
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: will you have someone like Jajasvi Josewell that John Ramer Blamia.

51
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 2: Crowd a loving this talented young man, Yashiste jayce Wile, Wow,

52
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: what a shot he goes and he goes big. He's

53
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: just a nerveless, fearless young player, just refused to be

54
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: intimidated by you know, you've got these big six foot

55
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: six Australian fast bowlers who are among the best fast

56
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: bowlers we've ever had. And you've got someone like Mitchell

57
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Stark steaming in bowling super fast one hundred and forty

58
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: kilometers an hour, trying to rough up this young guy

59
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: who just refused to take a backward step.

60
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: He even found a moment for a gentle sledge on

61
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: one of his heroes, Australian Mitchell Stark. Well the balls

62
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: were coming too slow, Jase Well told Stark, who could

63
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: only laugh.

64
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: It was an aggressive innings he got on top. It

65
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: wasn't just that he was making runs. He was dominating

66
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: this Australian attack. And it's not pushing ones and twos

67
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: and being a bit careful. He's just throwing himself out

68
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: of his shoes, throwing the bait at the ball, hitting

69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: boundary after boundary, hitting sixes. And that's the great blessing

70
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: for well, world cricket, for Indian cricket, but also for

71
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: this series that this new young lion that India has.

72
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: He's not just successful, but he does it in an

73
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: entertaining manner.

74
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: In interviews over the years, Jacewell has seemed emotional speaking

75
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: about what he went through In twenty eighteen. He said,

76
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: the gardeners didn't behave well with me. Others beat me.

77
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: He described having no bat of his own and having

78
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: to borrow every bit of gear.

79
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: That is the biggest motivation I have. I'm really blessed

80
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: to have these opportunities and I'm ready for it mentally, physically.

81
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: I want to play fearless and i want to enjoy.

82
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: You walk through Mumbai and you will literally see thousands

83
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: of kids playing cricket. You might see this great little

84
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: kid come in and rip a big leg spinner and

85
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: you think, what a player. But then the next step

86
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: is like, how does a kid like that if his

87
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: family is poor and if he doesn't get the opportunities,

88
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: how do you go from being a talented kid there

89
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: to doing what Jacewell's doing here? And it sounds like

90
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: a much bigger talent identification program happening now in India

91
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: and the great dream in India and it's a beautiful

92
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: thing when you see it. The great dream for every

93
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: Indian boy and girl is to play cricket for their country.

94
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: But someone like Joe Swahil is living proof that it's possible.

95
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: They always trust me and I always believe in me

96
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: that okay, whatever it's going to come. I'm going to

97
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: go and enjoy and be fearless. I will go and

98
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: take a brave decisions. Always it's this is my mindset,

99
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: and always I feel like what is required for my team,

100
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: I will try and do that. And yeah, that's all.

101
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: But they just seem to have this endless production line

102
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: of truly brilliant cricket is well and I guess when

103
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: you have a population that size, and when it is

104
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: a vast majority of the population is playing cricket, perhaps

105
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: it shouldn't surprise is that there's going to be a

106
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: couple of diamonds pop up every five or ten years.

107
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Coming up. It's hard to feel churlish about India's triumph,

108
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: But how did it all go so wrong for Australia.

109
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: India has wiped the floor with Australia. In the first Test.

110
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: There was an onslaught from India's fast bowler Jasper Boomra,

111
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: so ferocious there were comparisons to the infamous Depression era

112
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 1: Bodyline Tour. Everything was turned upside down. At one point

113
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: superstar fastballer Mitchell Stark was Australia's top run scorer. Steve

114
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Smith was sent back to the sheds for a golden

115
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: duck minus Labershane was pinned, sending them down the leg

116
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: side at close to one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour.

117
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: Shambles.

118
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: That's Will Swanton.

119
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: So what went wrong, Well, it really was a strange

120
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: build up. The whole theory was to have the players

121
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: as fresh as possible and I'm sure that is backfired

122
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: because it seemed like a lot of them prepared for

123
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: the Test by almost playing as little cricket as humanly possible.

124
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: If the Australians were complacent, it wasn't really surprising. The

125
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: Indians had just come from New Zealand where the Kiwis

126
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: walloped them three and nilo. Around the same time, Australia's

127
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: other great cricketing rival, the English, were being humiliated by Scotland.

128
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: So it's been a strange start to the season and

129
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: there was a lot riding on the first Test of

130
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the Border Gavascar Trophy for both teams.

131
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: On the first day Australia were skittled India for one

132
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty. It was all looking fantastic.

133
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Australia's top order toppled twice as fast, Will says alarm

134
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Bell started ringing when top build players like Pat Cummins,

135
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: Mitch Stark and Josh Hazelwood were absent from the One

136
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: day series decider against Pakistan this month.

137
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: So that was the night Pat Cummins was at the

138
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: Coldplay concert in Sydney and everyone thought the main man

139
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: of Australian cricket on the night the Australian cricket team

140
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 2: is playing a big one day game in Perth, Like,

141
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: why is Pat Cummins at a Coldplay concert kind of thing?

142
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: And that was all part of keeping them fresh before

143
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: the first Test, and Steve Ware said before this Test,

144
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: we're about to find out they'll either be super fresh

145
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: or just completely underdone. And it's been the latter. There's

146
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: no energy in the field, no chat. You know. We

147
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: love that great old Australian feistiness. I think in our

148
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: cricketers that kind of aura of being up for it

149
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: and for having a crack and giving opposition teams a

150
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: hard time. But somehow India has had all the charisma

151
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: and all the momentum and they're more enthusiastic and there

152
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 2: they just seem like more of an upbeat team than

153
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: the Australians.

154
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: Are you preparing for a depressing summer ahead, or do

155
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: you think they can and lift?

156
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: They'll be stung by this. I actually think there'll be

157
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,679
