14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: falling on their knees and wool worth seeing that he's

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 2: not in the show.

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: We do, we do hate him from time to time,

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: but we also hate to say that we miss him.

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: I think sneaks. Yeah, he's one that he's just one that, Yeah,

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: you just can't go without the stats guy. A little

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: bit of love for it. Let's get some love for

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: stats guy.

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: He's like that little tawny five foot three brother that

23
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: you just love.

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: You just caught him short four different ways there and

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I love it. Now we'll get right into the show,

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: so feel every play and be right in the action

27
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: throughout a massive Aussie summer of cricket with Tap Touch

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: Massive show. Today, we're going to preview and predict the

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: SCG Test between Australia and India. Are still plenty to

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: play for both teams with the World Test Championship in mind,

31
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: but for India wanting to retain the Border Gavascar Trophy,

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: so there's a lot to play for in that match.

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: And we're also going to be covering off all the

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 1: major BBL talking points in the last couple of days,

35
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: including all things super Coach. I think we've got a

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: bit of a score update and as well we'll go

Speaker 4: Crypt Mate prepped. I've got an exact number four two

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: six four four two six four four actually six four

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: we're close to two point sixty five.

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Interesting, okay, I think we're too six one a couple

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: of days ago, so we've got to keep slowly building.

48
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,120

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: the quick single, Marcus a bit more to cover off.

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: I think in this one the quick single last time

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: was more. We just wanted the emotional side of the

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: of the boxing day test.

58
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: We just wanted to talk cricket, actual, actual game of cricket.

59
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: But now some off field problems have sort of hit

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: the headlines.

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I read this one yesterday Fox Cricket reporting

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: cracks in the Indian camp. There might have been a

63
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: bit of mao on this story. Yeah, go ahead.

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: I think it's definitely a bit of mayo there, just

65
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: just to sort of get in their heads before the

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: final Test match.

67
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Definitely. It was reported that head coach Gordon Gambia has

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: had enough with the playing group players playing their own

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: way for the sake of their natural game instead of

70
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: playing shots based on the situation. So I think that

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: was reported by the Express and Fox Cricket then picked

72
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: it up. But is that a crack at Rishadpan? Is

73
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: that a little little dig at Richad Pan.

74
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: Well, it's easy to single him out because he's played

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: a couple of stupid shots he did. Yeah, particularly in

76
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: this The first innings was bad, but the set the

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: first innings was probably a worst shot. But the second innings,

78
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: with the game the way it was, there was no

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: need to do what he did, which made it arguably

80
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: worse than the first innings. Dismissal.

81
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I couldn't agree more there going on from that,

82
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned stupid shot and that was a quote by

83
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: sooner gavascar on On I think it was the radio.

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: He said that Jas was dismissal. Dismissal was an optical

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: illusion or could have been an optical illusion. I don't

86
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: think about that one.

87
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: But I don't know a hard cricket ball that's swinging

88
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: in can deviate and go the opposite direction.

89
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: Maybe there was some spirit in the air or something,

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, changed the course of the ball. Maybe it

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: was just a gust of wind.

92
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: That the MCG is an old stadium. Mate, there's there's

93
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: some ghosts and some some history there, right, Oh yeah,

94
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: there's some flying spirits around so that that moves the

95
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: cricket ball so exactly at the point where it passes

96
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: his gloves. So look, they're just I think, just a

97
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: little bit of six at the moment. In terms of

98
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: that dismissal. Everyone I've seen on social media, all Indians

99
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: being like, it's clearly Australia cheating, Australia cheating. It's not

100
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: the case we had. There were four not out decisions

101
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: that we had to overturn using DRS. Yeah, I think

102
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: in that Seconding's alone, wasn't it yeah to be given out?

103
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: So I mean, and Robert Scheim has come out and

104
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: said that, yeah, it looks like he hit the ball.

105
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just think, yeah, at the end of

106
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: the day, the Indian frustration and even I think I've

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: seen some general world cricket fans, you know, they're saying

108
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Ossie's cheating all that. I think that the main sort

109
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: of frustration comes from the fact that we're trying to

110
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: rely on the technology and when the technology didn't say

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: he hit it, but to the naked eye, everybody could

112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: see that he hit it, So then the question of

113
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: the actual technology comes into play and whether we need

114
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: to change that somehow and look at it from a

115
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: different angle potentially.

116
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you obviously had the shape of

117
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: the ball moving away there anyways, So is that enough

118
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: to give it out like I think in my opinion, yes,

119
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: I think. I think it's more of a problem with

120
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: the technology more than a problem with people's eyes and

121
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: being an optical According to Soon Gaviscar, so the technology

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: missed the trip there. It's not going to be right

123
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the time. But I think to

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: the naked eye, it was pretty obvious that he smoked it.

125
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: Yep, could not agree more. Now moved to Travis Head.

126
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: His celebration is apparently causing death threats. So you brought

127
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: this one to my attention Markers. So obviously yes, for

128
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: those who don't know his celebration after Rishab's Parnt wicket,

129
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: people can interpret it different ways, but it's obviously come

130
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: out and it's been said that it is a reference

131
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: to when he took i think four for ten against

132
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: Sri Lanka or three for ten and he put his

133
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: finger in ice after the game because it's sort of

134
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: like representing the fact that he's got a bit of

135
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: a golden arm, a bit of a hot finger when

136
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: it comes to taking wickets for his country.

137
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, one hundred percent. Look him getting death threats

138
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: and his partner receiving death threats as well. First, actually

139
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: know what the celebration is before you start doing all

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: this stuff, because no one likes to hear that.

141
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and sort of switching our focus till later

142
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: in the month. Pat comments, Captain of Australia is said

143
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: to miss at least one, if not both tests against

144
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, I think that's due to

145
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: the birth of his second child. So yeah, no arguments

146
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: here from us, I would say, and from the wider

147
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Australian public. He's he always puts cricket at a high level,

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: I think, and a lot of people had a crack

149
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: at him for going to that Coldplay concert if you're

150
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: one of them markets, But.

151
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: I mean all was out of core play concept when

152
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: they came to Melbourne, so I'm certainly not going to

153
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: disagree with that comings there.

154
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think, yeah, no qualms here, but it'll

155
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how that team will now look

156
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: and whether Steve Smith or captain I would say you would.

157
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think if anything is a good thing, you

158
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: can almost just take him out and bring in a

159
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: permanent spinner. Yeah, just give you a license to do that.

160
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, especially in those conditions. All right, let's

161
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: get into the big Test preview for the fifth and

162
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: final Test between Australia and India at the SCG. We'll

163
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: get into some big questions and these are revolve around selection.

164
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Would you play Stark if he's fit? I haven't really

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: I know he went for scans, but I haven't really

166
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: heard if he's in or out yet. I don't think

167
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: there's been any sort of breaking news on it at

168
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: the moment. As we record, knowing us, we put this

169
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: out and then it'll come out that he's either in

170
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: or out. That's the case all the time.

171
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: We don't know at this point. I think he shouldn't play, yeah,

172
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: in all honesty, like I know, like if you can

173
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: try and play for your country, then you do that

174
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: by all means. But you could see in the mcg Test,

175
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: particularly in the first innings, there was something wrong and

176
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: he wasn't up for it. Yeah, And the second innings.

177
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: He bowled a little bit better, but again not the

178
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: Mitchell Stark of the first three Test matches of the series,

179
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: where he was Australia's best bowler. Yeah, and he was

180
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: arguably probably the worst bowler for the Aussi's on the

181
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: boxing day Test. So when you've got people like your

182
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: me and Joy Richson or Sean Abbott just waiting in

183
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: the wings, give him a go go. It's probably better

184
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: than an injured stuff.

185
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tend to agree. I think, look, we don't

186
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: know at the end of the day, we don't know

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: how he's feeling. We don't know if he is one

188
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent or not. But I think when it comes

189
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: down to it, he we have the depth to replace him.

190
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: I think we can still win this Test match without him,

191
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's how we need to be thinking.

192
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: We have the depth in the fast bowling stocks. I

193
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: think it's gy time, Marcus. I think it's gy time

194
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: get him.

195
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Hopefully he doesn't get injured before in the warm up

196
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: before the game.

197
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Jesus, that will be classic. Yeah, but I think it's

198
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: time for him. He can swing it both ways, he

199
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: gets good nip off the surface. I think he's a

200
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: different bowler to Cummins and Bowland as well. I think

201
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: they all offer something a little bit different, So why

202
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: not get him in. Let's get a bit of excitement going.

203
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: I'll be up if guy's playing. I'll watch every barley balls.

204
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: I know you will as well.

205
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: What other changes would you make to this team, Marcus,

206
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Mitch marsh.

207
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: Mitch marsh out, Yeah, I think he has to. Look.

208
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: We look at other players that got dropped this series,

209
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: and McSweeney comes to mind, and he's had a better

210
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: series so far than Mitch marsh in my opinion. But yeah,

211
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: he was the one make way, so he has to

212
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: go out. What you do with that all around us

213
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: sort of spot? I'm not sure considering it, it might

214
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: be I think from the sounds of it, spin heavy,

215
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: spin heavy deck, although it looks very very green, although

216
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: there's they're going to do a lot of rolling before tomorrow.

217
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: So do you bring in an all round of that

218
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: is a decent part time with with spin or do

219
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: you just bring in the like for like in bow Webster.

220
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think honestly bow websit can cover that

221
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: that spin up. I think he can give you the

222
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: best of both words. He gives his the all arounder

223
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: who can buy a bit of medium pace. But then

224
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: he can also come in and bowl some off spin.

225
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: Anyone can anyone can bowl office.

226
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know about that one. I don't think I can.

227
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: Office is pretty easy. It's just the tactics behind it

228
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: is what you would do so well, which is obviously

229
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: the likes of Ashwin and mine.

230
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure in terms of an Indian perspective,

231
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: you're dropping their skipper ro Shama.

232
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: It is. It will be so harsh though. I think, look,

233
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: he obviously hasn't been up for it and he's looked

234
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: out of sorts. But in saying that, he is being

235
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: chopped and moved around the order, which doesn't do great

236
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: for his confidence already, which would be low. So I think,

237
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: you know what, he's the captain. Give him, give him

238
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: a chance to bring himself back on the world stage.

239
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually I thought about this. I think they should.

240
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: They should keep him in and I reckon just say

241
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: to him, look, India, they have they have some batting

242
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: depth in their team. And we'll get to further selection

243
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: on what I think they should do as well, but

244
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: they should just say to Sharma they should open him

245
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: up and just say just go for it, Like if

246
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: you're a bit reckless, who cares? Because if you do

247
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: what Sam Constant did at Boxing Day and it pays

248
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: off and you get a sixty or sixty five like

249
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Constant did, then all of a sudden, you've set your

250
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: team up. You've taken a risk, and if you go

251
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: out then you've got the defense of Ko Rajul, You've

252
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: got Kohli potentially part, You've got all these guys to

253
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: come back in. It's risky, but I think it's the

254
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: risk they need to take if they want to retain

255
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: this trophy. So I think i'd back him in and

256
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: I think I just say, look, mate, just have a

257
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: bit of fun with it. Because growing up watching Row

258
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: with Shama play shorter form, it was always his attack

259
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and his aggressive nature that put teams on the back

260
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: foot and it just looks like the last couple of

261
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: tests he's gone away from that. So if he does play,

262
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: I would like to see that. I wouldn't like to

263
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: see it as an Aussie fan. I would like to

264
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: see it as a as a cricket fan.

265
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone wants to see rowt Shan. We just have

266
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: a bit of crash and bash once he gets into decrease.

267
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: But two people who you've mentioned here in the run

268
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: heat shuld Mun Gillen and Drell.

269
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah they're waiting, aren't they.

270
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: They're waiting and they're ready, and in all honesty, I

271
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: would love to see one of those two come in

272
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: from an Indian Indian perspective, whether that's taking out a

273
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: batsman or just taking out a specialist bowler.

274
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you bring that up. I think they should

275
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: take Saraj out. Figures of three for one hundred and

276
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: ninety two in the last test is not pretty reading.

277
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: I think he's been slowly waning. He started the series

278
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: in hot form and he's sort of declined every test since.

279
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: I think in terms of his output, I would bring

280
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: him out. And we know with the SEG it is

281
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: a bit more spin heavy. They have Jadeja who I'd

282
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: keep in. They have Sunda who I'd keep in. Then

283
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: you stick with Deep, you stick with and ready can

284
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: chip in for overs. That's five bowlers that could bowl

285
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: for a long time, who offer you something different and

286
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: are suited for the conditions. I think Saraj should be

287
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: out of the team and I'd bring in shouldman Gill

288
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: and I think it gives them even more batting depth

289
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: to what they already have, potentially even Jerral if they

290
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: wanted to.

291
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: I like that and it makes India more likable as well.

292
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: I don't think any anyone from an Australian point of view,

293
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: because he just gets unnecessarily fired up, which can be

294
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: a good thing and a bad thing in a sense.

295
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: It can be bad because you create that unnecessary drama.

296
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: Then you create unwanted momentum that Australia can bring on

297
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: themselves if they get on top for a few overs. Yeah,

298
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: so he just needs to give himself cool, calm and collected.

299
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: But India team news will be interesting, yeah for sure.

300
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: The last one I just want to touch on is

301
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: Rishab parn't out potentially. Oh, they're going to look at

302
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: Jila Reckon for his replacement to take the gloves. But

303
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: is it harsh or is there something is a little

304
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: merit behind it.

305
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting, isn't it. You saw you saw

306
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: the second shot he got out on, which was against spin,

307
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: and you think he'd be facing that a decent amount

308
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: of the time he'd be facing a Lord Nathan Lyne

309
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: probably a little bit more of Travis had if he

310
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: gets the nob with the ball. So look, it's one

311
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: of those where a few bad innings like he has

312
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: now in a few bad shots make him makes him

313
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: look like a terrible option for the squad. But in

314
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: saying that, he could just he could go out there

315
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: and make a century and everyone will be applauding him

316
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: for his for his play style and his aggressive nature

317
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: on turning a CG pitch. It's just it's whatever comes

318
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: with how the innings goes. And look, i'd probably keep

319
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: him in there for now. Like you said, i'd drop

320
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: a specialist bowler.

321
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I agree with you there, Marcus. I'd

322
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: keep part in his as you know, a bit a

323
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: bit You're like, what are you doing? Part like very erratic, Yeah,

324
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: very erratic. But I think at the end of the day,

325
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: going into this series, I know all of us stats

326
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: go included were like parts to worry like if he

327
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: gets going, like we can't stop him. We didn't last time,

328
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: so why would be to be able to this time?

329
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: So I still think just a little down patch from him,

330
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: and I think he'll hit some form. Maybe this test

331
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: will see.

332
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: Though, Well, yeah, I agree completely all right.

333
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,479
Speaker 1: We've got some breaking news. We actually ended the podcast

334
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: and we're slipping this in midway through the podcast. Bo

335
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Webster is making his debut. Mitch Marsh's dropped. We just

336
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: talked about it. But what do you think, Marcus early

337
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: thoughts vibes? What do you reckon?

338
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: Early early thoughts is of course beds have slipped that in.

339
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: It's BBW Webster making his test. We love him a

340
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: fan favorite, love the way he goes about his business, yep.

341
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to see him in this one. And by

342
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: the sounds of it, looks like he'll be bowling some

343
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: part time spin yep as well. So interesting selection. Obviously

344
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: that means Marsh has dropped, Thank god, he's had a

345
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: terrible summer so far. So a bit of reward for

346
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: bow Webster.

347
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think a lot of Ouzzi's would be in

348
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: favor of favor of this selection. He's a pretty handy bat.

349
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I think he can bat it at a good strike rate,

350
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: which will help put some pressure on the Indian bowlers.

351
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: He can bowl spin, he can bowl mad, He's got

352
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: huge hands, so I can get him in gully as well.

353
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: I reckon he'll be a bit of a horse in Gully.

354
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: He's a bit of a like for life for cam Green.

355
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think he's well over two hundred centimeters, big

356
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: bucket hands. Nothing's getting through them at Gully.

357
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, good selection. It'll probably help. It'll probably help

358
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: being taller, have the long levers. When he's facing spin,

359
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: he can get to the ball quicker, get down the

360
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: pitch easier. So exciting selection. I can't wait to see

361
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: him in actual again.

362
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: The same. All right, we'll get back into the regular show. Now,

363
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: let's get into some predictions. Most runs, Marcus, I start

364
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: with you and your new favorite player.

365
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: By the looks of this, he doesn't have all just yet,

366
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: he doesn't have orals just yet, but he is very good.

367
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: And it's as Jay as well. Yeah, I love this boy.

368
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: All love the way he bats. Like I said he'll be.

369
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: He'll be number one for number one Test batsman for

370
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: many many years. And the credit to him. He's doing

371
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 2: it while he's opening the batting, when the ball's moving around.

372
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: He's that one player for India in the top order

373
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: that I'm I genuinely I care about their wicked the most.

374
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: That's huge when you've got you know, the likes of

375
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: Coli and there as well.

376
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just I don't know. When he's batting, he's

377
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: so calm, it looks so easy for him.

378
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: It's really confident too, like he's impressive for such a

379
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: young player.

380
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: Is Yeah, he's quietly confident as well. But I like

381
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: the way he does his business, so I think he

382
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: makes the most runs in this one. I was tempted

383
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: to put Schumann Gill in there, who look who he

384
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: wasn't hasn't even played in the last couple. He didn't

385
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: play in the last as much, but I just think

386
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: we've spin it'll favor the Indian batsman, So I think

387
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go pretty Indian heavy with my predictions here.

388
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see as well from a j

389
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: as well perspective if Stark doesn't play, because if Stark's

390
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: obviously had his number a few times throughout this Test series.

391
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: So if Stark's out, then that just opens him up

392
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: even more, doesn't it.

393
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: Really, And you're facing consistent right baseballs as well, which

394
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: is obviously a little bit easier than going right on

395
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: left on, right on left on.

396
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for me, I'm going kwaja. Now, this

397
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: is a very lot of people's chip. This is a

398
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: very very questionable call, i'd say, just based on his

399
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: form this series. But he loves the SCG, loves the

400
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: slower wickets. That's why he scored a half century the

401
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: MCG in that first first inning, a little bit slower.

402
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: He averages one hundred and four at the SCG. He

403
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: absolutely loves this track and I just think if he

404
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: can get through that initial opening ball spell, he'll be

405
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: on for a big one. That's his issue. That's that's

406
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: been that's been his issue this Test series is that

407
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: he just can't get past Boomra and Saraj or Deep

408
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: whoever's bowling that first ball. If he can just get

409
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: past that swinging ball, I don't care if he plays

410
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: and misses sixty out of sixty times. I think he can.

411
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: He can really cash in and make a big score.

412
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: So I'm going izzy. I want to say it too.

413
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: I love when he makes runs.

414
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: It's so good home ground, it's built in the stars.

415
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: It's going to happen. I think he is going to

416
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: make runs. So I agree with you there. And that's

417
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: a good sort of little sort of test for the

418
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: Sri Lanka tour coming up, which yes, again he dominates

419
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: and sort of subcontinent pitches, even though this isn't a

420
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: subcontinent pitch. It's it's the most you get most like

421
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 2: you're going to get in Australia.

422
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, most wickets. I think I'll start. I

423
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: think Jasper Bomber, he just went up with another ten phone, you're.

424
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: Like, easy prediction.

425
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: He did that last time and he got nine wickets

426
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: for the match.

427
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: Yes, fair, He doesn't let you down, does it.

428
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: He's just he's insane. It's it's just at the point now,

429
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know if like Indians are actually bored and

430
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: they're just like, oh, Bomber another weeket sure, like let's

431
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 1: get let's get a deep, a steep five, come on,

432
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: cheering it on, let's go.

433
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: Where would they be without Jaspert Boomer? I don't know,

434
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: And yeah a cash deep actually has been like surprisingly

435
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 2: very pleasant. I really like the way he goes about

436
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 2: his business. But I'm going to go in Indian spinner here.

437
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to go jud Asia ye like he always

438
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: haunts the Aussies and with ball in hand. Even in

439
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: the MCG he took quite a few weeks, then he

440
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: took four in one of the innings.

441
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: I think it might have been yeah, three maybe yeah.

442
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 2: So yeah he's been he's been superb and look he's

443
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 2: been in that of the Test side this series. But

444
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 2: this is a grand world. I think he comes into

445
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: his own and yeah, comes back for revenge. Yeah.

446
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: I think he's a He's a danger man for the

447
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: Aussie batsman on this SCG wicket which is genuinely, genuinely

448
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: known for spin. All right, prediction, Marcus, I've gone Australia.

449
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: I've been a bit skeptical since the Perth Test to

450
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: tip Australia, but I just think momentum has shifted since then.

451
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Obviously dominant in the day nighter and Adelaide would have

452
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: won the gabb if it wasn't for rain. And then

453
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: clinching the MCG Test. I think that's huge for the

454
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: Aussies because I feel like if Indy just snuck through

455
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: a draw they would have been they would have been like,

456
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: oh that was as good as a win and would

457
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: have gone on to potentially win this this last Test.

458
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: So I just think the momentums with Australia, and I

459
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: think that just clinching it in the final session just

460
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: gives the team a lot of belief and a lot

461
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: of confidence that they do have the killer instinct and

462
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: they just need to be able to bring it out

463
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: a bit more. But you've gone different.

464
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have gone different. I've gone I've gone India

465
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: to win this one. I hate to say it, but

466
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: just the pitch suits them so much. Australia kind I

467
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: know they have a weird record at the sug We're good,

468
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: We're not great. Obviously it rains a lot of the time.

469
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: But I think this one we're going to get at

470
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 2: least four good days of playing and that could be

471
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: enough to see a result in this Test match. So

472
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think you will see like massive

473
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: schools like you did at the g in the first innings,

474
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: particular Australia four in India three hundred and seventy. So

475
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: India for me, unfortunately, and that means they retain the

476
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 2: border Gavaska Trophy.

477
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, jeez, there you go. I don't mind that, you know,

478
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: markets But.

479
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: As much as I hate to see it, I hate

480
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: to say it is Look India in Sydney. I think

481
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: it's just built for them.

482
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I mean this is against brand for you.

483
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: I reckon I feel like you've been pretty much on

484
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: the on the Aussies. But yeah, we'll see, we'll see.

485
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: Look, you don't get your hopes up too high, and

486
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: especially on camera, because then you would just be brought

487
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: back down in reality. So I'm trying to you know,

488
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: I'm jinxing them.

489
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be fair, we all tipped Australia in the

490
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: first Test and look how that turned out. I think

491
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: then I think we all tipped India in the second Test,

492
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: and there you go.

493
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: Look.

494
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,760

502
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: some talking points in the last few games. Marcus I

503
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: said it on the last podcast. I had a question

504
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: mark on the end though. The Hurricane and thunder are

505
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: they sneakily good? I think they've proven they're sneakily good

506
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: beating the Gads. Hurricanes beating the undefeated Sixers.

507
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 2: I don't think they're very sneaky about it anymore. They

508
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 2: really well the Thunders up to third, Hurricanes in fourth.

509
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: So look they're two or three teams on six points.

510
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 2: It looks like at least one of those teams will

511
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 2: be playing finals.

512
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: Yep, I reckon. I think I have a little bit

513
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: more faith in the Thunder. I think they just have

514
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: a bit more of a well rounded squad. I think

515
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: David Warner firing was obviously the difference against the Gads,

516
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: but I think they've got just a few more all

517
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: rounders there. I think the Thunder that can help them

518
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: win games.

519
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: But they probably escaped in that game a little bit. Actually,

520
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 2: the Rene should have won that game compared to like

521
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: about like eight to ten overs. The Renegades were in

522
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 2: a pretty handy handy position. But they're winning games. That's

523
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: the most important thing. They're finding way to win games

524
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: when when they shouldn't. So wards and upwards for the

525
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: Thunder this season.

526
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: Yep, for sure. And this is probably probably the most

527
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: important talking point. The Stars won again, Marcus, how do

528
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: you deal? How are you feeling as a Stars fan?

529
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: Relieved? Happy? Maxwell is the safest hands in the world.

530
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: How good was that catch? That was insane?

531
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: They've been talking about. Is that the greatest BBL catch ever?

532
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: What do you what do you reckon? What do you think?

533
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it's gotta be up there. I think him or

534
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: like Jordan Silk's taking about five that could be in

535
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: the conversation. Yeah, Sutherland the other night against the Thunder

536
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: was quite good. I don't know if you saw that one.

537
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it was good.

538
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: But I think it's at Maxi's level.

539
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: That's more of a catch of the season sort to

540
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: catch more than an all timer. Jake Fraser mcgirk's, which

541
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: they didn't go on air last night, was pretty I

542
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: think he was that against Adelaide.

543
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Adelaide, Yeah.

544
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: So.

545
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: It's up there. But I think jordan' silk for me, Yeah,

546
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: I think Silk too. I think just the time of Maxi,

547
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: like firstly know where the rope is, time it, and

548
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: then the balls coming at him so hard to just

549
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: sort of take it with momentum so seamlessly and then

550
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: loop it up and loop it up in the right spot.

551
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: It's just phenomenal.

552
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 2: Trust me. It's not easy to take one hand as

553
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: on No, but Maxi. The problem is MAXI made it

554
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: look so easy, which is a detriment to how hard

555
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: catch actually was. It was a bit more male on

556
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: that it would look even better and arguably wouldn't be

557
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: a discussion about the best catch.

558
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly, it just looks so clean, like like sometimes,

559
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: as you said, when you get to those rope ones,

560
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of juggling or like, doesn't look

561
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: as clean. That's the smoothest catch I think I've ever

562
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: seen on the boundary. Yeah, something so difficult.

563
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: And and just look at the silence from the crowd

564
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: when he actually takes it being did he act really

565
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: just do that? I was watching a live I'm like,

566
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: has he actually taken the catch here? Because he hasn't

567
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: really celebrated, but he took.

568
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: It with these Yeah, definitely let's get into some quick

569
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: fire tips for the upcoming BBL games. I think this

570
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: covers off until Monday Tonight's game. Gade Strikers.

571
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: Who you like in Marcus the Renegade for me at Home?

572
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'll go the gates. But it's a

573
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: huge game, I think, just because both teams probably need

574
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: a win to just stay in touch with the finalsorry

575
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: hopefully a better pitch, hopefully, And now I'll field this

576
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: time out at Marvel, not the swamp from from last time.

577
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: He called it heat their sixers.

578
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: Oh, that is a tough one.

579
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: He'd have lost their last three, by the way.

580
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: This is another Grand fo in a rematch, isn't it.

581
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: So they have lost their last three. But I think

582
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to go the heat. I think I'm going

583
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: to go to heat. I think, no matter what score

584
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: they put up with Spencer Johnson Xavier Ballet at the Gabba,

585
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: anything possible with balling in.

586
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I might just lean sixer's. I think

587
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: Scorches thunder.

588
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: I got to go the Scorches a good game. Yeah,

589
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: they haven't been great, have the Scorches? Then now they're

590
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: three and two, they are second with a handy net

591
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: run rate.

592
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: But I would agree they haven't been great and their second.

593
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have played a game more than the three

594
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: teams below them. But still I think they get the

595
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: job done.

596
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm leaning Scorches, but I think that that'll be

597
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: one of the best games coming up the Derby Gade Stars.

598
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm going gads here.

599
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: Stars mate, that they're not going to lose a game

600
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: from here on in.

601
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: Can they make finals? If they win their last four

602
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: games and they're five and five, they could. They could

603
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: make finals. They just need a good net run rate.

604
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: They could.

605
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: But it's going to be so rough because some teams

606
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: have only played four games and they've got three wins already,

607
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: So you're just opening on the downfall of other teams,

608
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: and they're going to have to win a couple of

609
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: games convincingly. Yeah, for sure, tough, which I don't think

610
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: will happen. But I'll back my I'll back the Stars.

611
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a closet BBL fan, but they

612
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: finally got to win on the board, So keep it going.

613
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: Fair enough, and last one Kines that's the Strikers. I

614
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: think I'm leaning to the Hurricanes.

615
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to Strikers. I thought that would be

616
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: good at the start of the season. They've disappointed me

617
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: one and four, lost the last three, so I'm hoping

618
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: they get back on board here. They've definitely got the

619
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: team to do so, and against the Hurricanes we probably

620
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: have a similar sort of squad. I hope they get

621
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: over the line here.

622
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: They have two winnable games, obviously, Gates tonight and then

623
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: the Canes. So if they want to make finals, they

624
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: have to be three and four, don't they They can't.

625
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: They can't drop one of these games.

626
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: They have to have a couple more losses, and that's

627
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: Curtains for sure.

628
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Let's get into a super coach was sort of reviews

629
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: round stilling current round four score with what you're projected?

630
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: What are you looking at your Marcus? What do you got?

631
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Four hundred and thirty three at the moment? Not great

632
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: considering like Captain Jamie Overton, and he had an absolute

633
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: stinker against the Scorches, but he does have the chance

634
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: to redeem himself tonight against the Gads, which I hope

635
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: he does. But I'm still projected and twenty. That's something

636
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: that's apparently I'm supposed to get seven hundred points from

637
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: tonight's game.

638
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: Take that.

639
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 2: But similarly, Statscore is still projected over a thousand. He's

640
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: projected one thousand and forty nine, and he's only current.

641
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: He's currently on two hundred and forty eight. So how

642
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: does that math work? No one will know, no nos,

643
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: I think he's doctored that.

644
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: But what about yourself, Leier, I'm on four twenty two,

645
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: only projecting nine thirty two. Unfortunately, I saw the match

646
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: Short news too late and I could not reverse any

647
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: trades or change my captaincy. So my vice captain Tim

648
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Saifett needs to go absolutely huge tonight. That to be justified.

649
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: He's he was disappointing a little bit against the Thunderside.

650
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 2: I brought him in as well for this round. But look,

651
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: Matt Short was a kick in the teeth, wasn't it.

652
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: He's in my team as well, so luckily he didn't

653
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: have him captain.

654
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, let's get into some buy hold cell

655
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: for round five, which begins tomorrow night, Friday night. I'll

656
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: kick it off. I think you just got to buy

657
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: your Thunder players. So everyone in round five doesn't have

658
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: a double like everyone plays once. Round six, the Thunder

659
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: have the doubles. So I reckon, you've gotta start prepping

660
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: for that now. Look at David Warner, look at Wherezega,

661
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Sam's all been in pretty good form of late.

662
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: I look for any of those hold stoyness. I just think,

663
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: why not he got four overs last night? He battered, well,

664
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: he's hitting some form. Don't trade him off now, and

665
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: then I would sell. Start to look to offload some

666
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: of the Strikers players because in round six the following

667
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: around they have a buy. So I would look to

668
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: offload if you have Henry Thornton like I do, or

669
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: Lloyd Pipe, and then you can look at potentially Matt

670
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: Short later on Jamie Overton if you want some cash.

671
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: Jen.

672
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm looking at, Marcus, what are you

673
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: looking at?

674
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: I'm pretty similar buying again, it's another Thunders player. One

675
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: person that I did bring in this round was Sam Billings.

676
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: Break even is negative forty seven. He scored forty this week.

677
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: It was a little bit disappointing with the bat as

678
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: was a lot of the Thunder top order, apart from

679
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 2: David Warner in that game against the Gates. But Sam

680
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: billing for me. If he's not in your team, bring

681
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: him in, whether that's keeper as a batsman with double holding. Again,

682
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm holding another Stars player, Glenn Maxwell safest houses, so

683
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: he's going to get you plenty of points in the field.

684
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: Took four catches and they were all the points that

685
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: he received from last night's game against the Brisbane Heat

686
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: because he got out for a golden duck. They only

687
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: need three ones three runs to win, and he just

688
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: went through a bit of a tonk and got out

689
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: to a good catch by Maddie Renshaw. So I think

690
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: there's potential in Maxi And if they pay on any

691
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: more spin friendly sort of decks, you'll probably get an

692
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: over or two here or there. He seems to get

693
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: an over at least every game so far. So and

694
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: again similarly for selling players. Any Strikers players get him

695
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: at the door, I'm probably going to get rid of

696
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: one of I'm probably gonna get rid of mat short

697
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 2: Cash Jan perhaps keep Overton on the bench, But like

698
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: I said, bring in a couple of Thunders players as

699
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: we prep for round six.

700
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're thinking ahead here. I like it planning in advance.

701
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: That guy would not know about that, the absolute destructible

702
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: kid from your class. But we'll get into some question

703
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: of fan comments now, Oh, favorite segment, Favorite segment, We

704
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: love it. We've got some YouTube ones, which is which

705
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: is good because we'll bit skimmed on them last time.

706
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: But now we've got some new ones from Andrew te

707
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: two one, five seven.

708
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: Is one of my favorites. In the comment section.

709
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: He does comment quite a bit. We do love his comments.

710
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: He hasn't watched much Test cricket, so he can't say

711
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: if it was the best Test match ever, but as

712
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: a neutral, he was thoroughly entertained after this series. He

713
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: can clearly see that Test cricket is the superior form

714
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: of the game. One hundred percent agree with that one.

715
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. The Test cricket is by far

716
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 2: the pinnacle of the sport. Look at you might only

717
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: get those once a year, those types of games like

718
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: for your nation, but we've seen some great finishes and

719
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: Test cricket the best matches for a game that goes

720
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: for eight hours a day for five days and you

721
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 2: get down to the final hour in a game like

722
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 2: that with that magnitude, that's why we love Test cricket.

723
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: And we've seen similar games. South Africa didn't recently to

724
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 2: secure their spot in the World Test Championship final.

725
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: Yep.

726
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: Who did they down Pakistan?

727
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: Was YEP?

728
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 2: In their game over there in dramatic fashion. Look, this

729
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 2: is why everyone fell in love with cricket. There didn't

730
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: used to be twenty twenty games you couldn't mind. Just

731
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 2: used to be classic tests with the hard men.

732
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: With the hard men. Well sixty eight ArcLight doesn't actually agree,

733
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: says best Test match. Sorry. In the end, Australia won

734
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: by a huge margin with an hour to spare India

735
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: whenever in it. I can kind of see his point.

736
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: For their point, I can kind of see their point.

737
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, like last session,

738
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: five days of just intense storylines and matchups and controversy

739
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: left right and center. Yeap, Like I think it was

740
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: in work again.

741
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: I think there were there were moments where it's like

742
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: it swayed so much. I think there were moments where

743
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: India were in it. Yeah. I think if they stop

744
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: the partnership of Bowland and Lion, they could have well

745
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: and truly been in the game and put themselves in

746
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: a position to win.

747
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

748
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: But on the last day they were never in it

749
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: to win the game. But they were definitely in it

750
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 2: to draw the game. And with seven wickets in the

751
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: final session they should be drawing that game. They should

752
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:19,959
Speaker 2: be losing that game.

753
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: No one really ever takes seven wickets in a session,

754
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: no matter what point in the Test match it is.

755
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: We got another one from aa l K six to

756
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: six row hit is not captain t material for Test.

757
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why he even got that chance. Rahana

758
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: should have been the captain after Vierrat. Interesting call that one.

759
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, very interesting. I mean BROI has captain in the

760
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: short format as well. I think he's not He's not

761
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: a bad captain, but his floors have been highlighted with

762
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: his poor form this series and I think he's been

763
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 2: again like majority of the Indian team, perhaps it's been

764
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: a little bit too emotional as well. We've seen it

765
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 2: on the field when he was talking to akash Deep

766
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: and he gave him an absolute spray after he bowled

767
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: a wide one again with Jay as well. So I

768
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: think he's his form is getting to him a little

769
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: bit and he's becoming a little bit more of aggressive

770
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: captain and not in a good way. So look, I

771
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: semi agree with that comment.

772
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: What about Bomra captain the first Test? They had one

773
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: hundred percent win, right, just saying yeah, just saying he

774
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: can't do no wrong, cannot do any wrong.

775
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: I think. I think when you've got row At Cameron, camera,

776
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: Rowic Shama and Virat Kohley standing in slips, I don't

777
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 2: think has much of us say anyways about what's going on.

778
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 2: Even if he is captain Yair, So look, who else

779
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: would you pick from that team though? Really Rahul Cara

780
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 2: a haul Yeah, but he hasn't been in the Test

781
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 2: squad consistently for for you know, five ten years.

782
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: Rich had pandas captain.

783
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: Oh good games. Test games will be over.

784
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: And we'd see some interesting field placings. I reckon we'll

785
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: get into some Facebook ones. They're all Scott Boland related,

786
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: so we love this. Philip Bamfield says Boland must stay

787
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: in this Test side and Marsh has to be dropped.

788
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: I think Boland has to stay in as well, even

789
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: if hazel Woods fit. I'm low key just on the

790
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: Boland train. I think that's what everyone in Australia wants

791
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: to see now, to be honest, it's Scott Boland. Hype continues.

792
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: And yeah he's taken wickets at the s CJ as

793
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 2: well before, so yeah, hopefully in the He probably won't

794
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: retaining his place with the stri Lanka tour because of

795
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 2: how the pictures. The pictures are over there. But does

796
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: he play next next ashes, Yes, he's got to has

797
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 2: to play the MCG.

798
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: It'll be a good battle with with how the English

799
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: bats play because I know Joe reversed him a few

800
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: times last time they played over in England, so.

801
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: Which brings up a good point about Philip. Another Philip

802
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: Philip and Anna m Roses comment, this guy's got Boland

803
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 2: should play more games for Australia. He doesn't give batsman

804
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: much to play with his type bowling. So like you

805
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 2: said there, obviously with aggressive nature of England, what they

806
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 2: do with his type bowling would be interesting to see.

807
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And another one Brian Milligan just says

808
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: Scott Bowland deserves a permanent spot in this Test side.

809
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: How many times does he have to prove his worth? Amen?

810
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: It just feels like they bring him in. They didn't

811
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: playing last year at the MCD, did they. But they

812
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: brought him in for two MCG games for Boxing Day

813
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: and he's just absolutely he's done what he's needed to do.

814
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: If not more so, he's putting his hand up. What

815
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: about me? Pick me more? Pick me more? Definitely he's

816
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: got to be picked.

817
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: I agree with you completely there. I'm gonna I'm gonna

818
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: try I find his averages really quick in Test cricket

819
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: because it is pretty low. Who's played twelve matches forty

820
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: six wickets. At average nineteen. Not bad, not bad, that's

821
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: pretty good.

822
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't mind that at all. I'm calling it. Marcus
