WEBVTT - Bonus: Isa Guha Reveals The Support She Got From Shane Warne

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's say goody to Ishagua.

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Good to be here, guys, great to be on the show.

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Now you are here as part of the Fox team

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 3>for the Summer of Cricket and we've got the ashes

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 3>and you're not the only there's a legion of English

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 3>people hitting our shores. Forty thousand Jesus, I'm told of

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 3>hitting planes. They're gonna be arriving the next few days

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 3>ahead of the ashes too.

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>This is a nice gig for a commentator. What is

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>this like the Summer of dreams? This show?

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>It is when we're women? Yeah, oh yeah, I am.

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 2>I've done three ashes tools here now actually made that

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>four with women's as well. And it hasn't always gone well, so.

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask?

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Right, just because I'm new into the cricket world and

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 4>anybody we speak to who's coming over for it seems

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 4>to have that general attitude well, hope, hope and lack

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 4>of confidence. Have they had such a bad run in

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 4>the past against the Aussies.

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, we have while a Test match in the last

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>three series, so that's pretty bad run. It's not been great,

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>can I ask?

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 5>It's still very much a male dominated industry, especially in

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 5>terms of cricket commentating. What's it like being one of

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 5>the only females in there amongst all the blokes.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I do my best to keep them in check. Doesn't

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>always work. I guess I've worked in kind of male

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>dominated spaces since I was quite young playing in a

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>boys team, and then pretty much all the way through

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>cricket has been quite male dominated, so I've kind of

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>slipped into that mode. I can kind of slip into

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>that mode quite easily. But also I think it's important

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>to go back to what you're there for, which is

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you're just there to be a cricket commentator and call

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>the action. And I've been very fortunate to have made

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>some amazing friends across my cricket journey, both playing but

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>also in broadcast. I'll always talk about Shane warn He

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>was super welcoming to me in the commentry box. You know,

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>when you first get in, when you first get into commentary,

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>it is quite an intimidating place, especially if you're the

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 2>only female and you feel like you can't put a

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 2>foot wrong and so forth. But over time, you know,

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>the guys have been really, really supportive.

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Do you still think about Warny? Is sure?

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I do? I do I do a lot, you know,

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>even when I'm not here, because he was just one

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>of those characters that while he had the gravitasse, but

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>he was really magnetic as a personality and I always

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>just wanted to be in his company. But in the

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>commentary box, I mean think, I think our friendship really

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of grew more so here in Australia and at

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Fox because he really valued what I had to say

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>when it came to cricket commentary, and so I feel

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>like when I had his respect, I kind of got

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the respect for everyone else as well around the world. So,

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and he was a cricket pader. No one could talk

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 2>about the game like Warning. Could he have this unbelievable

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>ability to really simplify it to the masses. And that's

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 2>what I loved about working with him.

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 4>You have a teacher how to scullar beer or suck

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 4>back of dart.

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.359
<v Speaker 2>You know this is a misconception about Warning. He wasn't

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>a beer scullar.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>No, he wasn't he the preme extreme.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>He liked his life soda.

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 4>If you've spent much with his son, Jackson, but god

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 4>spinning image, aren't there?

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he is. Jackson is a beautiful human and yeah,

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>he brought them up, he raised them.

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, so let's get a prediction. I think by

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a confidence. What do you think.

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Going to all? Sorry to all, I know you want

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>a prediction one way or the other, but I'm going.

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>To astral retain the ashes?

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, oh no, hold the ashes?

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>So to all, we retain the ashes?

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 4>Well we can way to watch your handiwork every ball

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 4>of the ashes live and ad break free during play

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 4>on Fox Cricket available on KO Sports.

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 5>Just quickly before we let you go, tell us about

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 5>Take Her Lead, which is a charity that you've found

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 5>in which is empowering women in cricket.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So we know that girls drop out a sport

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>at twenty percent more of a rate than boys between

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>the ages of eleven and fifteen. There are lots of

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 2>different reasons for that. Boys need to be competitive to

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>feel like they belong. Girls need to feel like they

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>belong before they can be competitive.

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>So we're trying to create that but also provide more

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>opportunities for women. So that's in broadcast. In administration, We've

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 2>got a network for women. It's UK based at the minute,

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>but we're trying to raise awareness here in Australia as well,

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>so we're doing a fundraising tour. Make sure you follow

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:52.640

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 2>every city during the Ashes and it's going to be

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun.
