Speaker 1: of year, August. In August, we've got That's why they

12

00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: You love that quick singe. I probably need to revam. No,

22
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: I don't reckon it does.

23
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: It's a great segment and all of our predictions for

24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: the T twenty International series, plus the first match between

25
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160

27
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome. It'll be pretty good. I reckon, we

00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,600

40
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: I want to touch on these ones, Leo.

41
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: Lots of talk about the Ashes already.

42
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: We actually gave our early Ashes eleven the last show

43
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: we did too.

44
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: If you want to check that out, jump on the show.

45
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: There but multiple former Test stars are picking Bowland over

46
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: Nathan Line for the Ossie Ashes eleven.

47
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: What do your thoughts and that's four quicks. I think

48
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: you've got to pick a her Line.

49
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: It will probably be expensive, but I think what he

50
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: can do on the Aussie surface distract, extract a bit

51
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: of bounds.

52
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: We'll worry the English bats.

53
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: And I still think he's good for a couple of wickets,

54
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: which is all you need.

55
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong.

56
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: I love a bit of Boland, but Nathan Lyne in

57
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Australia it's a different gravy. It's between Boland and Hazerwood

58
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: for that last Okay, yeah, good call England versus India.

59
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: This is one of the craziest Test series of all time.

60
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: It just wrapped up to all. I believe it came

61
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: right down to the wire in the last Test matches. Well,

62
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: plenty of handshake controversy. I don't know if you want

63
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: to shake hands.

64
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: We just want to wrap it up. No, thank you going.

65
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: Marcus is in here.

66
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we've got saras. He was pretty solid. Sarah

67
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: with the pretty solid.

68
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: It was awesome. This series needs a documentary into it.

69
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 2: We actually might on Amazon. They do a few cricket.

70
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: We as in Cricket Today is going to lead it

71
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: the documentary. We will fund it now. It was a

72
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: fantastic series. It honestly deserved to all draw in the end.

73
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: I think both sides had their moments and had their

74
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: sort of capitulations or just lack of quality cricket at

75
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: different points.

76
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: But what a series. It was awesome.

77
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, our Wokes Wolves came out with one arm. That's

78
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: I was trying to get my words out there because

79
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: it was just crazy. He came out with one arms

80
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: a bat apparently the night before because he had his

81
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. He was practicing with one arm.

82
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: That's a cricket and not anything else with one arm.

83
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: But pretty crazy into that's having about with one of

84
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: the Yes, yeah, that's what I was.

85
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: Marcus isn't here and he's in my head already.

86
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll touch on that another another podcast as well.

87
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: This is a three match T twenty series that I

88
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: want to touch on Australia vers South Africa. There's two

89
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: matches in Darwin or one in Cans and we're just

90
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: very excited here. Yeah, let's get in there, let's get

91
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: into it, all right, it's the Australia vers South Africa

92
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: T twenty squad.

93
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: Chat Lee, I want you to start with the Aussies please,

94
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: you want me to start with the Aussies?

95
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

96
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: What about the team or who were dropping? Potentially? I

97
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: kind of lost thors Why don't we have both? Mate? Well,

98
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: here's here's the team I would go with.

99
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Josh Englis, Cam Green, Glenn Maxwell,

100
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: Mitch Owen, Tim David, Benny Dorsh's, Nathan Alice, Adam Zampa

101
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: and Joshy Hazelwood. That batting lineup is talking to me.

102
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: It's doing some things and I'm loving it.

103
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: That is a lot of hurricanes in there. Make that

104
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: burning line. It was so good.

105
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: So obviously Travis Head's back, which you said you almost

106
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: forgot about.

107
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: Forget about that's very rude to the great man and

108
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: is very rude.

109
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: And you've got Mitchell and he just made his debut

110
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago against the West Indies.

111
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: He's just making it for me, the fun. He's the

112
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: perfect six sick and bowl a bit as well. Yeah,

113
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: love it, love it.

114
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: And then you've also got no comments and stark but

115
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: you don't eat t twenties and then Jake, Fraser McGirk,

116
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Hardy and Cooper Connolly all drops since the West

117
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Indies series, which I don't mind, especially Fraser mcgirky's really

118
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: out of four.

119
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those calls are fair.

120
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: They're all probably coming into their cricketing careers, so I'd

121
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: like for them.

122
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: To be dropped. I don't think he's a bad thing.

123
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other one was I was always questioning

124
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Cam Green in the Test lineup, but he was. He's

125
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: been great at just knuckling down making some fifties against

126
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: the West Indies in that fourth position or about four

127
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: four usually about four and I loved that.

128
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, him and English together, just building a nice little

129
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: three and four partnership there.

130
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: So loving it.

131
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, I'm going to get into the South

132
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: African team. You've got markro and roberta are back in

133
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: for South Africa, which are huge ins, but they've left.

134
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they've dropped them or resting. I'm

135
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: pretty sure they're just resting some players. You've got no Jansen, Classen, Nokia, Miller,

136
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: Maharaj and Shamsi.

137
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: Who I believe would all be in their usual line

138
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: they would be. So this is a very underdone South

139
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: African team in my opinion it is, but I understand

140
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: what they're doing.

141
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: I think that they've got a lot of T twenty

142
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: cricket coming up, sixteen matches before the team matches, so

143
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: I think they want to just trial out a few

144
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: different guys to just see whether or not they could

145
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: potentially play a part in that T twenty World Cup

146
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: that's coming up.

147
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: So look, I think it's a fair move from South Africa.

148
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: I think they can still be a competitive team which

149
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: will get to but I don't think it'll win.

150
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: No, like that one guy I'm very excited for in

151
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: South Africa. Just pick him, please, just pick him.

152
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: We've talked up Shama Joseph the last couple of years

153
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: is scaring Australia a little bit and just being a

154
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: really awesome player to watch. Mapuka the new I'm pretty

155
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: sure that's how you saypucker nineteen year old from South Africa.

156
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: He can bowl up to one fifty clicks lee, How

157
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: would you go against that one?

158
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: My pucker is no chucker. No, No, he might be.

159
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: If he's getting one fifty two clicks, that's that's that's

160
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: a big call.

161
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: No, But he played in the IBL debut, had a

162
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: T twenty international debut and that second match that he

163
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: played in T twenty Internationals got up to one fifty two.

164
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: And I think a fast bowler in Australia on those

165
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: Darwin pitchers that we know and love.

166
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, too much about the old Darwin pitch up there,

167
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: apparently maybe a lot of moisture on it.

168
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: The moisture, it will be a bit humid up there,

169
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: so it might swing a bit.

170
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: I believe, But it has been good for batting conditions

171
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: across the Australia A matches and some big Bash matches

172
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: as well, which I just had a bit of research there.

173
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: But I hope they pick him.

174
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: But looking at the overall squads at Africa, are we

175
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about the death You've still got

176
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: Ingiede and Roberta obviously world class bowlers, but I'm a

177
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 1: bit worried about their bowling more specifically.

178
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's gonna a lot's going to fall to

179
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: Ingide and Roberta. As you said, the bowling depth. I mean,

180
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: they've got bowlers that have been in and around the scene,

181
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: you know, Corbyn Bash Linda or Linda. I don't know

182
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: how to say. Rick He's a battle but these guys, yeah,

183
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: they've been in and around, but I don't know if

184
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: they can I guess play an economical role when Robata

185
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: and Ingie can look to take the wickets.

186
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, that good call. I think their batting will

187
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: still be exciting.

188
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Got Rickerson in the top order, Mark rom Back, I

189
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: think that will still be right. Stubbs is a very

190
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: solid player as well, but it's be interesting how they

191
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: go with the bolls.

192
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: Like I see more from Stubbs. He's coming through. Pretorious

193
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: as well, is a fresh one on the scene.

194
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: And Duel Brevis, who's had huge wraps on him for

195
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: the last five years.

196
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of he's done.

197
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: He's done well, but he's kind of not lived up

198
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: to his height fully. So I do want to see

199
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: him have a crack at this and see how he goes.

200
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: No like that, All right, let's get into the big

201
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: questions in this one, and this is a according to

202
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: the teams and the things like that, should Jake Fraser

203
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: McGirt continue to be tested for Australia or it just

204
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: needs to be better because a lot of people want

205
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: to see him play for Australia.

206
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: But personally, can I say a form Can I say

207
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: yes to both of those? Yeah?

208
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I think Look, he shouldn't been anywhere near the

209
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: setup right now, and I think I would hope Fraser

210
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 3: mcgirky is the first put his hand up and say that.

211
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: I think he needs a good long stint. I'm talking

212
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: it's a long.

213
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: Hard look at him two three years domestic level at

214
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: the state leveling in on his honing in on.

215
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: His craft before he's back up there.

216
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: I think he's got the talent, but I don't think

217
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: he has the smartness or the IQ or the I

218
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: guess game sense yep, to really like take that next level.

219
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: I agree with that one.

220
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Is Hazelwood worth playing in this forma and I'm going

221
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: to touch on him later in terms of the predictions,

222
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: but he's an older player. It's a bit of a

223
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: meaningless series. Do we need to play the hoff or

224
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: is this just getting him back into it again?

225
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 3: I think he can play one or two games. Yeah,

226
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: I do like him in t twenties. If you look

227
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: at the bowling and the sort of lineup I suggested

228
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: when you've got Dorsiest there who's left arm, and you've

229
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: got Alice who he's a small blow. His release point

230
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: considering Hazel Woods is very different, so you get a

231
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: very good variety there. Hazel's got a great YAWCA two,

232
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: so I think I think it's worth playing him as well.

233
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: You want to get him a bit match fit too,

234
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: but you don't want to overwork him.

235
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: I think four overs.

236
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: If he's breaking down after four overs, Scotty Bowlin's coming

237
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: straight into that testing, that.

238
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: Is a very good call at the release point, the

239
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: nuggets and knowledge. Just looking at the bloke's heighth and

240
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: go on, he's got a small release, I just wouldn't

241
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: think of that. That's a very good call.

242
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: Last big question I want to ask, is it disrespectful

243
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: that South Africa aren't bringing a.

244
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: Full streets respect That might big question mate, No it's not.

245
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: It's they but they've still got the talent. They've still

246
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: got they just don't have the depth. Okay, that's how

247
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: I see. They've got some great talented players in there,

248
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 3: they just probably don't have the experience all the way through.

249
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's disrespectful.

250
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: I think they're doing the right thing because they have

251
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: so many matches you said sixteen before T twenty World Cup.

252
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: Where they can next year is they could probably rest

253
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: mark them and bring back class and rest I don't

254
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: know another like bring in Chamsey, rests from Gide, things

255
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: like that.

256
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: So they've got that option to do it, so do it.

257
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: If they do win a match here in this series,

258
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: in this three match series, then it shows their depth

259
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: because they can just rotate and they'd be pretty cool.

260
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: For South Africa.

261
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Lastly, let's get into the predictions of this series and

262
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: then we're going to say who's going to win the

263
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: first T twenty International in Darwin. The Aussies have actually

264
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: won the last five T twenty meetings in international stages.

265
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: The batting friendly deck I said that before is usually

266
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: in Darwin and it's the first ever T twenty International

267
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: there since the T twenty World Cup last year. Australia

268
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: are the best batting team in the power Play with

269
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: a strike rate of one hundred and eighty five.

270
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: So Africa are tenth with.

271
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty two, which surprised me because some

272
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: of their top order players have been really good even

273
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: in the IPL and things like that, but not performing

274
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: as much for their country, which is.

275
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: That is actually an interesting thing.

276
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it goes into the fact that de Cox sort

277
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: of faded out, who's a very explosive player at the

278
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: top of the order yep to trying to replace him.

279
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: They've still got quality guys in that sort of top order,

280
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: but maybe they're more like say the strike rate for

281
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: the later Yeah, most likely, all right series. This is

282
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: the overall series of the three match series. Give me

283
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: your best batter for the series.

284
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: Leadter Josh Inglis of mine batting at three.

285
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: I really liked what I saw from him against the

286
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: West Indies. He's a three to sixty degree player, but

287
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: he also can go up in gears. Batting at three

288
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 3: can start slowly if we're in trouble, build himself up,

289
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: but he can also just come in and whack it

290
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: like he can come in from ball one, hit eighty

291
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 3: or thirty and you'll be like you sure. But he

292
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: can also come in and play an anchoring role. His flexibility.

293
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: So I'm going English, how about you, mate.

294
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Mitch Marsh.

295
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: He averages forty five runs against South Africa across his

296
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: eleven to twenty internationals Against.

297
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: Him, He's got a couple of fifties.

298
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: I really wanted to go Mitch Owen, but he might

299
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: not get a bat in all the matches because he's

300
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: going to come in at what six or seven?

301
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, most likely, it's very unlikely for playdown the order.

302
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think he could have a really big series,

303
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: maybe like the most runs. I'm gonna go Mitch marsh

304
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: the Bison, I reckon.

305
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: Bowler, bowler. I love this guy.

306
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: I mentioned him before Nathan Analys the whaling arms, the

307
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: whaling Arms of Nathan Analysis. I really like what he

308
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: brings to the table. I think he's a T twenty specialist,

309
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: especially at the death overs. He's got all the slower balls,

310
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: He's got the Yorker, and I think he's surprisingly quick

311
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: for his size. He can skid him through surprise the

312
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 3: batsman as well. And I think he's one that we

313
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: really got a back. And I'd love to see him

314
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: in the T twenty World Cup.

315
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: He has been in and out of the sides and

316
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: even the World Cups there he was always the running

317
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: the drinks and things like that.

318
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: He got Stark, he got Hazel. We always back in.

319
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't mind a bit of T twenty variants

320
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: in Nathan Ellen, I like that.

321
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to our variance. I'm going Josh hazel

322
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: when he's gonna.

323
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: Arrest him.

324
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: I reckon he could get in the two matches, he

325
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: could get ten wickets and he will take.

326
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon he's that good.

327
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: Also, I don't mind the human conditions for him to

328
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: get a bit of extra swing that night and things

329
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm very excited to watch Josh Hazwood

330
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: and I'm glad they picked him because without him in

331
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: that side, I'm not sure who else is going to

332
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: get as many wickets outside of Nathanos. You did steal

333
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: my man. I was happy to go nathan Us, but

334
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: I will go Hazelwood.

335
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: We've all gone Assie so far to OSI think he's

336
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: going to be a bit of a whitewash. Three zero.

337
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: I think that leads into our Yeah, so what's first match?

338
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: I'll give me your first match and then series predictions.

339
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: I think Ozzie's and just OSSI's all the way through.

340
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: Sorry to our South African viewers, I just as we've

341
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: touched on. I just think the experience in that sort

342
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: of depth is going to let South Africa down. I

343
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 3: think some games could definitely because and in T twenty

344
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: like this, anything happen, like it takes one performance to

345
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 3: change at all, Like we could say all this stuff,

346
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: markm comes out, he's one hundred or forty because he's

347
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 3: a quality batch, true, and then all of a sudden

348
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: it's a completely different game. So T twenty, the shorter

349
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: of the game is the more variance for these wild results.

350
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: That good call. I agree with you on that. One

351
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: three zero to Australia.

352
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: Gonna tip the Aussies in the first match as well,

353
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: and they're a bit of a whitewash, I reckon.

354
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: The depth isn't there for South Africa.

355
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: We've had some good series against South Africa, but yeah,

356
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: not in this way.

357
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: What revenge after the Champion Test Championship. Yes, because winning

358
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 3: three meaningless twenty is better than nothing, says revenge like that?

359
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: It very good call, all right. That stumps for the

360
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: Cricket Today Show. We'll catch you in the next couple
