Speaker 1: Have we got him?

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: Gotcha?

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: We mate?

8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: You know what, out of all the tests, we're excited

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: about this one. I mean you would be as well,

10
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: because I mean this was the dominant year. This is

11
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: the World Test Championships, is the Ashes, the T twenty,

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: the World Cup. I mean, it's not bad to sit

13
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 3: back and watch this one, Steve.

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was plenty on, wasn't there. But yeah, I

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: actually I've never watched an episode of any of them,

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: so I lived at So what's the point I've lived at?

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: So I'll let the viewers watch them.

18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 4: But don't you want to see how they cut you together?

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 4: You know, like with all those other shows, like The

20
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 4: Maths of the Television Industry, Like, but I'm not really

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: like that. I don't know why they made me sound

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 4: like that.

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: No, I'm not fast. I just get on with my business.

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: So that's kind.

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: Of what I was wondering, Steve. I thought, you know,

26
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: because they the cameras have access like never before if

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: they're in the locker rooms and this is something's caught

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: on camera, did you have to Does anyone take an

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: editor a site or a producer and say a just

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: about that conversation you may have heard, can we make

31
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: sure that doesn't make the final edit.

32
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: I think a few players get a little look at

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: what's going to come out and if something needs to

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: be taken out that. I think most of the time

35
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: it's pretty pretty good. It's nice to see all the

36
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: raw emotion out there, isn't it.

37
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: Steve, have you noticed to an uplift in support for

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: cricket since the show? I mean, if you take F one,

39
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: you know, and they did the last lap of the rock,

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: what was that? You know? That was amazing? There was

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: an that was an amazing brand exercise for the sport.

42
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Those that weren't interested in F one all of a

43
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: sudden had an interest in what went on because they

44
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: were shown more of what goes on. Have you noticed

45
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: that in terms of the popularity of you being recognized

46
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: in the game itself as a whole.

47
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure. I think the first season, I

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: remember I was walking down the street in Sydney and

49
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: a few people came up and said, oh, that that

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: Test doco. That's that's really good. You know, we really

51
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: enjoyed that. That was the initial season, but I kind

52
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: of haven't heard much about it since, but it's obviously

53
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: doing some good things. I suppose that's probably a question

54
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: for someone else, but yeah, I think it's cool that

55
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: we're able to give that kind of access into our

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: inner sanctum and show people we're doing and yeah, how

57
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: we're going about our business.

58
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: Well, I personally think the first season of The Test

59
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: is the greatest Australian sporting documentary ever made because it

60
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: was it was you bouncing back from what happened everything

61
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: in your life, Steven, and that it was that Ashes

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: series where you were so under the pump and the

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 3: pressure that was on you and like you said, the

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: abuse that you were getting to come out and have

65
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: an amazing Ashes series and take that out it would

66
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: have to be one of the highlights of your whole career.

67
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that was that was an incredible ASHES series.

68
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed that. It was it was good fun

69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: and it was nice to perform on that stage as

70
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: well after you know, coming back from from a year out.

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was cool that I suppose it was

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: all captured on camera and you could sort of see

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: what we went through, and yeah, that's pretty awesome.

74
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Steve, A bit of an opportunity for you right now,

75
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: because you're on the show. We have a little gift

76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: for you. That gift is an invitation to our backyard
