1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another episode of Fox Crickets Podcast one.

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you from Adelaide and I'm delighted to

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: be joined by brilliant great Adam Gilchrist, who has bought

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: the coverage on Fox Cricket and KO Sports for the

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: last couple of days in Adelaide. And what an eventful

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: couple of days it was. Thanks for joining us.

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Adam, Oh my pleasure, mate. Yeah, it was lively, wasn't it?

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: All done and dusted pretty quickly.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: Very rapid. But I'm going to get into a couple

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: of way do you matters first before we get down

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: to the nitty gritty. I think I'll just start by

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: following up on the tail end of last week's podcast

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: with Michael Vaughan. We've discussed all things paddle. Now what

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: I want to know, because I know you're on the

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: court a lot. Who's a better player you or Vaughn

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to uh to.

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Paddle takes the title there. I mean, he plays every day,

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: so he should be decent by this stage. I don't

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: know what as he does in his life. Actually it's

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: pretty much paddle and commentate for us on Fox Crickets.

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: He's got a good touch. Good touch. He just moves

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: you around the court nicely and then he knows he

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: knows how to put your way. It's good fun, it's

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 2: a good game.

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: One of the things I've been enjoying in the last

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: couple of weeks Perth and how adelade is he get

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: the occasional front of the crew outgo for a wander

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: along the river, the beautiful Swan River in Perth. The

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: River Torrens here which is magnificent, separates Adelaide Oval from

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: the central business district. But they made the point that

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: you went racing past them on foot, so you clearly

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: got them a little bit in terms of your endurance

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: and agility. Is that true?

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: On the first morning, I felt like I needed to

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: run more than a walk, so I went. I set

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: off a bit later than there. I ended up running

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: past them and they were waddling along in their little

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: little walking groups. So I just went past them. I

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: cracked it up a little bit. You've got to do that.

40
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: You've got to if you're run and past someone that

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: you know, you sort of got to lift the chest

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: up and stride out a little bit harder and quickest up.

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: You create the perception gotny that that's the way, that's

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: how fast and running on the whole run. But yeah,

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: I then joined them for the rest of the rest

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: of the test in the walking groups. Good good fun,

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: good exercise clearly and good chat. It was a good chat,

48
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: very interesting topics of discussion that we get to.

49
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say it just one last

50
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: one on the lightest sort of side of things. But

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, each every team that you're in, there's always

52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: a character. It's always some banter, et cetera. Just extend

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: to the to the broadcast crew where you have to

54
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: have that bit of bit of banter because having had

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: the fortune to duck in at different stages, you see

56
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: that there's a lot going on in an actual office

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: and it's a fairly high stressful so the thing and

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: you always want to make sure you get it right.

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: So there's that banter or that that little bit of

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: back and forth between the team. You know, does that

61
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: make things easier to make it make for a bit

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: of team.

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like any team you need, you need your

64
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: different personalities and we've got that. I think Kerry o'keef

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: can absolutely take the leaders start as being the entertainer

66
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: David Warner in a recent inclusion that's he's creating quite

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: a few interesting discussion topics with the content that he brings.

68
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: But there's always always a bit of taking the mickey

69
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: going on and how he's always at front and center

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: of it, or Mark will probably he he can be

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: funny without him even intending to be funny or trying

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: to be funny. So yeah, plenty plenty on and Vaughn

73
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: is a scurrels type, so yeah, it's good fun and

74
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: great Davis, you go back on deck. Each was missed

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: out on the on the Perth Test. You're just a

76
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: bit delayed getting out here. So it feels like the

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: teams can compleat now we got everyone on deck and

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: the broadcast is rolling along nicely, which is easy to

79
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: do when the entertaining cricket's being played well.

80
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: It probably brings me to the first one. Having a

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: good chat to Kerry last night for Fox Sports talking Points,

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: and one of the talking points was the day night

83
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: tests and Adelaide and it is a magnificent look. It's

84
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: it's such a beautiful ground Adelaide Oval and I suppose

85
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: on the tram down each morning just listening to some

86
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: fans they're a bit perplexed by the fact that it's

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: going to Brisbane next year. I suppose more from a

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: more from a well a win lost point of view,

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: Should we be giving up that advantage with the Ashes

90
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: coming around? I've given Australia is unbeaten at Adelaide Oval

91
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: in day night in the pinball cricket, but did have

92
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: that shock loss to the West Endies earlier this year

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: in Brisbane. Are we given the old old dart, the

94
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: old rival a league up by not playing an Adelaide

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: next year?

96
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: Yeah? I guess statistically it looks like a fortress and

97
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: other teams haven't been able to adapt to the conditions,

98
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it probably is an advantage that administrators

99
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: have maybe not taken into account on. I'm not sure

100
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: how it all works and whether that I don't know

101
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: whether the team get are so like the leadership group

102
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: of the current team, whether they're considered in the decision making.

103
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: But it's a remarkable test. It's so much fun, the atmosphere,

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: the way the city embraces it. I don't think anyone

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: embraces their Test match as well as Adelaide does. And

106
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: that's right across everywhere of the played test create it's

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: just as you say, the trams walking down, run a

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: mall out at dinner, whatever the case may be, or

109
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: more so in the mornings at breakfast because of the

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: day and I fixture, everyone's a buzz and it's a

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: great atmosphere. So I'm sure Brisbane will create a another

112
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: hostile environment for the Englishman next year. But it's an

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: impeccable record in Adelaide.

114
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: When we left Perth, there was a lot of questions

115
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: about clearly the Australians after that performance, the two hundred

116
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: and ninety five run performance. But I remember how to

117
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: chat to you the day prior and you made the

118
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: point that you were pretty strong on this that if

119
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Australia could survive the initial onslaught from Jasper Boomera, you

120
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: saw enough there to think there can be a way

121
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: to make some runs that it is possible. I think

122
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: clearly Travis Head was exceptional in Perth, but Mitch marsh

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and Alex Caerry also got among the runs. It almost

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: as though it panned out Lavashane and McSweeney on the

125
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Friday night he was so gritty, is what you sort

126
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: of spotted in Perth. Come to fruition to an extent

127
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: in Adelaide and as a result, that's part of the

128
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: reason of perhaps a blueprint that we can look for

129
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: going forward for the rest of the border. Gaviscar Trophy.

130
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think coming into the series that the uncertainty

131
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: for India was what the support app for Boomra is like.

132
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: And Mohammed Siraj Hasha Rana did a really good job

133
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: in Perth, they just just weren't quite up to that

134
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: same level in Adelaide. I know Siraj ended up with

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: four wickets and he cannot fault his aggression. Obviously it

136
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: flared up a bit, but his intent. So yeah, I

137
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: think that still is the glaringly obvious part of that

138
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: discussion is that Boomra is at a certain level and

139
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: the rest of them aren't quite there, and Australia identified that.

140
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: I thought that. I mean, all the headline was about

141
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: Travis head but the effort of Martins Flabershane and Nathan

142
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: McSweeney in tough conditions on Night one, that's what laid

143
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: the foundation for Australia to be able to launch. So

144
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: a lot of credit to them.

145
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: What did you like about the way they went about

146
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: it was Kerry again, somebody to chatching miss today basically

147
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: said he just refused to give up his wick at Martiste.

148
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: We know he'd been struggling sort of clearly, you know,

149
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: one p fifty I think in the last nineteen innings

150
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: or so. I was watching him in the nets on

151
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: the Thursday and we're a couple of nicks late in

152
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: the piece. But it was an extraordinary hot day. But

153
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 1: he did look like he had that intent back.

154
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, even just in his defense. Simple things. It's

155
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: pretty specific, but simple things when you defend, if you're

156
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: sort of immediately looking to size up whether there's a

157
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: single on offer or not, it's I might be wrong,

158
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: but in perfect CNB was just so focused on being

159
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: rock solid in defense that you lose the intent in

160
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: that action and you might then miss an opportunity to

161
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: pinch a quick single and get yourself off strike and

162
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: not get bogged down. So everything about he did was

163
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: really positive and looked looked really like it had the

164
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: right intent. And yeah, he's a determined young man and

165
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: he's been as frustrated as anyone about his lack of results,

166
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: so I'm sure it felt good. He would have been

167
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: extremely disappointed to give up his wicket the way he

168
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: did in the end in what turned out to be

169
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: a reasonably soft manner. But the fact that he spent

170
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: so much time out the crease and started to accumulate

171
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: runs and had that really important partnership with McSweeney that

172
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: I think has set Marnus back on the right track.

173
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Now it's his job to try and replicate that over

174
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: and over.

175
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Again. Disrefriended, checked the pendulum of pressure, so it tends

176
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: to swing when a couple make runs. Steve Smith must

177
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: have been very disappointed to get out down caught down

178
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: the league side. I'm sure he's exceptionally hungry for some

179
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: runners at the Gabba, but he this is grammar. He's

180
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: played well up before and he did make the ninety

181
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: one not out unbeaten against the West Sydney's earlier this year.

182
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Probably unlucky enough to carry the bat in the Australian

183
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: winn't given it was such a tight sort of test,

184
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: sort of grant he can make some runs and the

185
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: other thing is just Usmond and Nathan Bean. I know

186
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: it was only a nineteen run chase, but being able

187
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: to sort of see it through yesterday in that first session,

188
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: late in the first session. It must be a nice

189
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: thing to walk off the ground now and you've got

190
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: those runs, even though it's only sort of like a

191
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: small chase, you're there at the end. Does that sort

192
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: of boost some confidence again?

193
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: I think the nice feeler than walking off by yourself

194
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: having been dismissed. It was those horrible scenarios, everything to

195
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,359
Speaker 2: lose nothing in the game. But I think Nathan mcsweeny

196
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: hit a square cut that tied the scores, I think,

197
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: and I reckon of all the delivery he's faced, of

198
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: which there's not many in his short test career, that

199
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: probably been his most special men Perhaps it just he

200
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 2: has extended the arms, open the shoulders and just belted it.

201
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: It was a pretty ranked delivery, but he absolutely creamed it.

202
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: And there was about thirty thousand people in yesterday. So

203
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: for him to have that feeling and that that appreciation

204
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: of a crowd, that'll help fuel him going forward. There's

205
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: no doubt. I bet he's so eager to get out

206
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: in the middle again and try to replicate that feeling,

207
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: and he'll be well supported up at the Gabba because

208
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: that is his home, his true home state and I

209
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: think that they'll having discarded him or said he's surplus

210
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: to requirements, all of a sudden he'll be a Queenslander again.

211
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: So he's playing up there and yeah, that was all

212
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: round to a perfect game. Really save Steve Smith. He'll

213
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: be frustrated with that, but he'll keep working hard. And

214
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: not every player and every team fires all at once.

215
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: So the fact that Marcus has now stepped up, that

216
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: creates opportunity in the next game for Mitch Marshall or

217
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: Steve Smith who missed out in the last game.

218
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Mark Waugh talks a lot about SIB spielding and you've

219
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: clearly had a position alongside Samith's standing players in your time.

220
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: Just one for later in the series, a little mileson

221
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: coming up for Steve Smith. What makes him such a

222
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: good subspielder.

223
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: I think he stays low, so his technique is really good.

224
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: He gets himself in a really nice position so that

225
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: you know, just by very subtle little movements and staying

226
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: low and keeping at a certain height gets the eye line right.

227
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: He does remind me a lot of Mark Wall in

228
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: the way that he caught it second slip and just

229
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: really soft, soft hands, really relaxed but I think it's

230
00:12:54,040 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: mainly the body position and the body height. You know,

231
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: you look at replayers and Steve Smith hands are down

232
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: really really low, and he's just in really good position

233
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 2: and he's just got outstanding reflexes. But I just love

234
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: the way the ball sounds going into his hand, or

235
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, if you do watch them warm up and

236
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: do practice, you can just it's just a deep, soft sound.

237
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: So he's naturally gifted. But don't underst about how much

238
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: they work at it.

239
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: Again, back to that trend that I was on, and

240
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, when we were running down before play on

241
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: day two, it's a bit of chat about people wanted

242
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: to see Nathan Mix twenty the adoptive local boy sort

243
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: of seek around, but it was all about going to

244
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: see the man at the moment in Adelaide, Travis Heady.

245
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: He's clearly a local local hero here, eighth Man of

246
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: the Match, which is quite incredible when you think he's

247
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: only played fifty one tests. But Pat Cummins impressed. Last

248
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: night we was talking about the way bats and the

249
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: way you can take it away. He said, it's not

250
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: like it's necessarily a new thing, and he raised you

251
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: as the comparison as someone who could take the game

252
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: away from the opposition at sort of five six to seven,

253
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: and you know, as a left hander, do you see

254
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: that sort of similarity between yourself or was it hard

255
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: to talk about yourself in that matter? And what do

256
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: you like about Trevis? What have you seen with him?

257
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: Well? I guess it's just that if that's his eighth

258
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: man of the match I gather he's got one every

259
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: time he scored one hundred because being his eighth ton.

260
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: So that there in itself shows you just how much

261
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: of an impact he has. It. It's okay to get

262
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: the hundred, but how effective was it in setting up

263
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: a victory for your team? Mitchell Starr could very easily

264
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: have claim Man the match on is there in that

265
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: game particularly he set the tempo right from the very

266
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: first ball. But yeah, I think Travis Innings did swing

267
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: the game, you know, too much in Australia's advantage. So

268
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: that's the sort of impact. That's what you hope to do.

269
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: You hope to contribute significantly to team victories and it's

270
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: just great fun to watch. It had been a little

271
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: bit of a barren spell for him in Test match cricket,

272
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: not to the point of being concerned that he's going

273
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: to be left out, but a lot of that was

274
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: covered up through white ball dynamics. He's a great all

275
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: format player. But I think with Travis said, that's just

276
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: and the Australian hierarchy, you know this and appreciate this.

277
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: You're just going to have to ride the highs and

278
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: the lows with him, and when the highs are high,

279
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: they have impact and win test matches. So that's you

280
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: know which side of the bargain you want to sit

281
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,479
Speaker 2: on in that negotiation.

282
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: There was a bit of controversy as we've touched on it.

283
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: The well Sarres has been touched on widely. We haven't

284
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: touched on it about Saraj Sharma rot Chalma in press

285
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: last night he spoke about how he thinks he brings

286
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: his best when he's actually fired up and motivated. But

287
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: I suppose your counterpoint is, does he bring his best

288
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: when he's fired up and motivated? Is it possible that

289
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: he could get a little distracted and you could see

290
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: him a little more wayward when he's that engaged in

291
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: such a fis he encounter how do you sort of

292
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: assess that with Saraj just in terms of the impact

293
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: of you know, he's bowling and what he can do.

294
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's a bowler that likes to be

295
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: in the contest and psychologically get himself into a place

296
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: where he thinks he's in a bit of a dog fight,

297
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: a bit of a scrap with the opposition player. He

298
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: carried that sort of role and mantle in Perth and

299
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: did it brilliantly without going anywhere near crossing any line

300
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: or getting himself under the attention of the match referee.

301
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: I think what really centered over the edge. Again, it

302
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: wasn't rageous what happened. Let's be honest, it's not. It's

303
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: not the best image, but it's not the worst. I

304
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: think the fact that he dropped Travis's head on seventy

305
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: six and probably every run after that, he knew that

306
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: that was the game slipping away from them. So to

307
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: then get Travis out on one hundred and forty, I mean,

308
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: Sir Arge would know that that Travis had won that battle.

309
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: So that was just all I think frustration coming out

310
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: more than anything. And Travis said he's disappointed with his

311
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: own reaction, But I think it's an emotional game and

312
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: the temperatures up I don't really see too much about

313
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: any of it. They've copped it a slap from the

314
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: match referee, I think, but everyone I'll move on.

315
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: With someone who was probably less tested. And Josh Hazerwood

316
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: had a quick hit after play last sight and I

317
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: think most outlets will. We have some of his words

318
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: later on today and he's going to have a bowl

319
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: in the nets today. But he said he did have

320
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: a joke. He said that Nathan Lyon came across to

321
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: him and he said, maybe I might as well leaning

322
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: your shoes. I only bother the one over and Josh said,

323
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: hang on, good more than you actually had a bowl

324
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday and actually a bowl on Thursday. My point

325
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: in that, in terms of getting to the fact, I

326
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: think they only bolt eighty overs thesis through the two winnings.

327
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: It's finishing so quickly, it's quite a lot. Gives extensive

328
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: turned around to Brisbane, but just with the next three

329
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: tests to come, a lightloaded, clearly advantageous. Mitch Mars only

330
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: had the bowl to four over, so he wasn't necessarily

331
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: stressed with some doubts. But what does it mean for

332
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the summer when you have for the bowlers.

333
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: When you've got that sort of light load and you

334
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: have stark bowling like you did, you have Packhummans back

335
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: to his best. That looked like in that second innings

336
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: he was five for and Scott bowlands the reserve. Have

337
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: you ever seen is he the most unlucky bowler in

338
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: the world. If Josh Haes would bounces back given, I

339
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: think you removed Coolie Gil aswell and Charma four good

340
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: scalps at your five wickets, and you might make away

341
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: the next time around.

342
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the nature of the beast. So I would

343
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: expect if Hazelwood's fit, they'll go back to Hazelwood, particularly

344
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: at the Gabba. I think that's conditions that will suit him.

345
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: I mean, either one, either way you go, you're going

346
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 2: to get. You know exactly what you to get, and

347
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: that's consistency and a batting order that as an opposing

348
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: batting order that'll be under threat. So yeah, timing is

349
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: unfortunate for Scotty, But I just love the way he

350
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: just steps up and it's like you're plugging in a

351
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 2: board machine that's got a setting on and it just

352
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: cranks up again to the identical setting. So and I

353
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: love the way the crowd embraced him and broadcasters and

354
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: he's just a fascinating story. He's such a humble guy

355
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: but just just going about his day at work and

356
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: he can electrify our nation and fifty thou people in

357
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: a grandstand. But as far as the workload, clearly that

358
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: works in an Australia's favor. But also the game moved

359
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: so quickly, India didn't exactly have to bowl a mountain

360
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: of overs either. And you know, looking at the two games,

361
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: Australia has bowled more overs, but it's been a nice

362
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: spread out now with that extended break between the first

363
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: and second, and now an extra few days gives them

364
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: near enough to a week to be ready to go.

365
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: So that's just going to mean the intensity of battle

366
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: is going to be high quality and continue deeper into

367
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: the series. By the time we get to Sydney, you know,

368
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: the bowlers could still well be feeling feeling reasonably not fresh,

369
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: but certainly not running to the ground, So that augurs

370
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: well for the series.

371
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: Michael said, to be prior to the adlaid test, that

372
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: gives surprise that the Aussis didn't bump the Indians a

373
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: bit more in Perth. It was pretty notable yesterday that

374
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: the aggression seemed to be back in terms of the

375
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: attack and Pat was you know, he unleashed a bit.

376
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: I think I like the line from Mitchell Stark unleash

377
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: the handbreak, Let the handbreak go a little bit in

378
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: that first sities. What did you see from him now the.

379
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: Perth Cummins he was You could see just through his

380
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: celebration that there was a more you know, every wicket

381
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: that was taken. He was more aggressive in his celebration,

382
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: not in a lose control extent, but you could just

383
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: see that clearly they've been stung by a bit of

384
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: the criticism around after their performance and they internally would

385
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 2: have been so disappointed with the way they played in Perth.

386
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: So it showed you what it means to them and

387
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: that they knew that they were back at the level

388
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: that they want to play their cricket. So he was outstanding.

389
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: He looked like that, you know, if there needed to

390
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: be a bit of agreed and oil change after Perth

391
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 2: and the tune up, he was purring by the end

392
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: of it. So that was terrific to watch. And they

393
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: were just a unit that, you know, the three bowlers,

394
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 2: Nathan Lyne only the went over and Mitch four. Other

395
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 2: than that those the big three start Borron comers were

396
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: just hunting as a pack and bould as a unit.

397
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: So that was really really fun to watch.

398
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: Well, just to finish off, Adam and we had a

399
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: chat about a month or so ago for the feature

400
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: that we'll run on Fox sports dot com dot Au

401
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: and also a video on Chao Sports about the great tests.

402
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: We've been doing a series rolling about each time around

403
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: and going back to twenty twenty one in Brisbane, Australia

404
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: was basically unbeatable in Brisbane prior to that twenty twenty

405
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: one series against India where the Indians turned it around.

406
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: From Adelaide, what's happened at Brisbane where we've lost that

407
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: little bit of edge and what can we expect there now?

408
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: What do we expecting next weekend?

409
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: I think I don't think anything's happened. Opposition teams have

410
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: played well, maybe the pitch hasn't quite been as spicy,

411
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: trying to think back to the Indian victory. Yeah that

412
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: I mean they had a bunch of newcomers come in

413
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: without any fear and who knew what opportunity they had

414
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: for them if they if they sort of played conservatively,

415
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 2: so they came out and really attacked and and so

416
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: to the West indiesh Shama Joseph, you know a newcomer

417
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: to test Creet. He didn't know any history and didn't

418
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: have any scars of yesteryear on him. So this Australian

419
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: team is a team that generally the opposition if they're

420
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: going to beat them, the opposition have to play an

421
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 2: extremely high level and play to their best, so that

422
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: that's a sign of respect towards a good team. Australian

423
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: create team is a good team. They had a slip

424
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: up in per they've rectified that and I think that

425
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: extra edge and determination will be there again to try

426
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: and quieten down any issue around the Gabba and their

427
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: results in Brisbane, I think they'll want to build that

428
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: back up again, so I expect their level of competition

429
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 2: will be at the same height.

430
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: Well, look, thanks so much for your insights as always, Adam,

431
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: I really really appreciate it. It's great for the following listeners.

432
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: But also hope that you get a couple of days

433
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: back home with the family before you head up to Brisbane.

434
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: It's a benefit of a three day test that does

435
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: give a bit more of a break. But thanks so

436
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: much for joining us as all us.

437
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: Thanas you mate. See you in Brisbane.
