1

Speaker 1: My people have been doing a little bit of research.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,360

Speaker 1: On the podcast with us. Mate, appreciate it. Brother, thanks congratulations.

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: Made incredible series against the Indians always but maybe you

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: personally fantastic.

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a huge summer. I mean, the crowds,

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: the Bibles on screens, but to have the Indians here

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: haven't been for a long time, so it was We

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 3: knew it was a big series, and I mean after

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: the first test we sort of I mean we had

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: to sort of regroup and then from there it was.

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: It was awesome to be part of and very busy

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: but a great series.

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: She's that they fight hard. I think the thing I

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: love about the Australian Indian Test Series is that both

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: sides fight hard. Yeah, there's a little bit of shit

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: in the series, which is that's what sports about. You know.

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: It brings like the very Kally yeah, shoulder charge. It's

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: great because it brings it just adds another layer of

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: emotion in the series for the crowd as well.

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the certainly Australia India rivalry, if you like,

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: it's it's grown every time we've played them, and we

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: hadn't won the trophy for ten years and they won

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: the last two times they come to Australia. You mentioned

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: Virat's very He's an imposing figure and the crowd just

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: love him over there. I love him in Australia and

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: their fans travel so well. So and then a five

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: Test series, the sort of the hype leading into it

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: was so big, and then for them to win the

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: first Test, I think it just grew on the back

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: of that and being five tests, and you know, you

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: get broadcasts in India, broadcasts in Australia, so everything was

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: just heightened and it wasn't lost on us. But by

44
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: the end of it it was just it was great

45
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: to be able to take the trophy back and then

46
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 3: just just sort of reflect on that as a group

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: as well.

48
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: Is bigger than Australia England at the moment the rivalry.

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: I've heard that a bit lately and I think now

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: that it's five tests, it's you could almost argue it's

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: on par. I don't think it's it's bigger. I think

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: because the history of the Ashes it goes so far back.

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: I still think I still think as a player anyway,

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: I still think the Ashes sits just above. But certainly

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: it's grown you on you and when you have the

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 3: likes if you're out Rawa, all the big names and

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: just how much cricket is loved in India, it's hard

58
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: to argue that it's not going to keep getting bigger

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: and bigger. And if not, if it's not already on par,

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 3: it could go past in time to come.

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: Internally, do you lads like as a squad, are you

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: guys more pumped to play India or England?

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: I think no matter the series where it's an Ashes

64
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: a white ball series, you still love beating England and everything.

65
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, as Australian. You just want a fun things right,

67
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: So you know it'd be a great question to ask

68
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 3: again next in twelve months time, because we've got the

69
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: Ashes next summer, so we've gone Indian series into Ashes series.

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 3: It could be a different looking group for us perhaps,

71
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: but I still think I still think the Ashes just

72
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: sits just a step above from my players perspective anyway.

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: Do you think that's.

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: Because like a lot of the Aussie boys go over

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: and play in the IPL. Is that because you guys

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: probably have better personal relationships with the Indian cricketers as

77
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: opposed to the England once, so when you come up

78
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: against England like you genuinely probably don't like them as much.

79
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: It's a good question. I think. I think the IPL

80
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: itself has developed those relationships, whether they the Indian players

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: all the English because there's so many the Poms come

82
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: and play as well. I played with Phil Salt last

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: year and still chat to him now. I've only played

84
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: one season of IPL with him, so I think I

85
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: think cricket as a whole has whether it's taken away

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: some of the leagle, but I think it's developed those

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: relationships with the players, so you still well you could

88
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 3: go one step further. You still want to beat your

89
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: mate or your best mate, almost more so than someone

90
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: you don't know, right, So yeah, true, you may not

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: be the same leagle, but you still want to beat

92
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: the guys just as bad. So yeah, I don't know

93
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 3: if that the relationships change. I played with very out

94
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: at IPL years ago and he's so different off field

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 3: to on field. So I still got a great relationship

96
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: with him even though I don't play in the same

97
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: team anymore. But he still wants to beat Australia more

98
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: than anything. Likewise, I still wanted to.

99
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: They good sledges out in the Test, just gorn.

100
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: Do they sledge you quite heavily?

101
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: Well, apparently I bowled too slow, So I'm back on

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: a little fellow a couple of times. Yeah, but a

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: lot of it's in Hindi, so we got usbond Quada

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: can can translate. Yeah, so he can speak it and

105
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: understand it. So there's a few times where he knew

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: what they were going to bowl or what they were

107
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: talking about. So yeah, a lot of the time you

108
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: don't really know what they're saying unless you you know,

109
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: you know Hindi. But at times that there's a little

110
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: bit of niagle, yeah, and for us, so there's not

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: too many smart guys in our team.

112
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: Do you like so like in sport oftentimes you can fight.

113
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: You know, you're out there competing, you're fighting hard, you

114
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: walk off and everything melts away the change Do you

115
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: socialize with Indian players or just in general mid series

116
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 1: she's just a mid mid test match these dates.

117
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a little bit of interaction. I mean that

118
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: the Brisbane tester was a fever of rain, so it's

119
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: quite a small players area that changes are quite close together.

120
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: The corrals are pretty small, so you probably that was

121
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: probably one of the games where was more interaction because

122
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: there's so much time off the field. They didn't hang

123
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: around too long after test matches, so Sydney they were

124
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: gone before before our families had left the change room.

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just a I feel like there's a

126
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: bit of a more an interaction period after games of

127
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: the IPL, whereas this series it was a bit different

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: to if we're playing England or New Zealand. Who in

129
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: New Zealand you can't get him out of the change

130
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: rooms because all your beer and eating all your foods.

131
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is like, yeah, apologies to as just a

132
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: slight joke there, guys really don't mean it. He's a

133
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: question fair because IPL is such a big thing and

134
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: so important to a kruct's career. You know, as we know,

135
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, a sporting career is only it's a short

136
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: one if you're out there. Let's imagine they're in a

137
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: Test match and you have a really spiteful encounter with

138
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: a very colleague on the film. Could that impact your

139
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: IPL career.

140
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: It's a good question. It's been joked about before. Whether

141
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: that's true or not, I'm not sure it could do.

142
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: And we had the auction day three of the first

143
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: Test match, which was pretty unusual. So yeah, I mean

144
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 3: there's a I think there's a fair bit more made

145
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: in the media or off the field about how players

146
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: might be too nice because you know, you're looking for

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: an IPL contract or something like that, and yeah, we

148
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: might not sledge like that in ten to fifteen years ago,

149
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: but you're still trying to win just as bad. So yeah,

150
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: I know there's the whole IPL factor comes into it.

151
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: But I'd argue that you know that auction was day

152
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: three of the first Test. After that, I wouldn't. I

153
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: would argue that our the way we approached the rest

154
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: of the series didn't change whether he had a contract

155
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: or not.

156
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: Has there ever been a like a scenario where someone

157
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: just has become like public enemy number one in India

158
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: and they haven't sort of like been picked up to

159
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: go over the IPL or that's never been the case,

160
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: or they've been picked up cheap because no one really

161
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: wanted them because they thought the fans would hte it.

162
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: So while there was a little bit of spite between

163
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: Australia Indian and there was there was usually that some

164
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: of the Australian players weren't picked up the course of it.

165
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Whether that be true or not, I don't know.

166
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure. I went through like a nine

167
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: year period into so I didn't pay a whole lot

168
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: of attention to it. Yeah, I mean there's a lot

169
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: of a lot of Austrailing coaches have been over foreign coaches.

170
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: There's still a lot of strains go. I guess that

171
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: could be a factor. At the time, it was also

172
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: you know, teams are trying to build a I guess

173
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: they've got a big selection of players. I mean there

174
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: was fifteen hundred players when in the auction this year

175
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: and they got cut down to five hundred, so there's

176
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: still only ten teams with you know, you've got eight

177
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: overseas players each each squad, so people are going to

178
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: miss out. So yeah, I mean you could argue either way.

179
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: So the players will sit together, like the day or

180
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: the night of the auction when it happens, do you

181
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: guys sit together? I mean, what now? How does it feel.

182
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: This? Well? I had a buid word in go, so

183
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: this year what we did was, I don't know if

184
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: we'll bol on a bat in Perth, but we finished

185
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: the day's player and it'd already before we've gotten the

186
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: team beans, and there's a few guys that are pretty

187
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 3: keen to follow it whow how they're going or for

188
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: how other guys are going. I was pretty lucky. I

189
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: was early on in the auction, so I didn't have

190
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: to I I didn't want to watch it, and Alisa

191
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: was watching it back home, so she was giving me updates,

192
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: and then I just ended up being on. I end

193
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 3: up turning on in my room and all of a sudden,

194
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: it's two hours gone. I'm still sitting in the seat

195
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: looking at watching other people go in the auction. So

196
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: it can change pretty quickly with how how do you

197
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 3: want to follow what you see?

198
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: It's not like because I always pictured the auction like

199
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: did they sort of it's like a it's like a

200
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: horse auction, right, They almost parade you around when there's

201
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: just so that's so there's people that go and they're

202
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: standing there while people are bidding on them.

203
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Player wise, Yeah, so the players what a stupid question.

204
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean I thought that would be.

205
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: A funny thing to do, Like, wouldn't that be a

206
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: fun night? You go and you sort of get I

207
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: mean it'd be horrible. You go for like you know

208
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: what I mean, like a real cheap price. What is

209
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: the kind of what is the average price? Like, what's

210
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: what's what are people going for these days?

211
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 3: So you put your when you nominate for the auction,

212
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: you put those reserve prices. So your highest reserve is

213
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: to crawl, which is I don't know whatever that is

214
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: in two craw and in Indian rapeats is maybe just

215
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 3: shy for in a grand maybe Australian something like that.

216
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: I could be lying. That's so that's a top reserve.

217
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: So you said that for yourself.

218
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you get you get four tiers of reserve. Yeah,

219
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: so you can go and you can go and real

220
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: low and hope that there's teams that want you and

221
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: go real high, or you go, I'll go in the

222
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: top bracket and run my mark, I guess. And then

223
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: all the teams sit at the auction, So it's not

224
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: like the Draft in America or anything like that. We

225
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: you know, your top prospects come and sit in. All

226
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: the team owners are there. They've got their teams behind them,

227
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 3: all their strategists and all the rest with the paddles.

228
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: And and you.

229
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: Know, your photo comes up with your IPL stats and

230
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: you go, right, he's a reserve price. Does anyone want

231
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: to make a bid? And then there's a bit of

232
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: cat and mouse and some guys get absolute motters, some

233
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: guys might get passed in and you get a second

234
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 3: crack at the end. If you get passed in, the

235
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: list of passing players goes back to the teams and

236
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: go right, I want to see you have a crack

237
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: at him again.

238
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: And you come in again and what's the highest that

239
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 4: you've seen?

240
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: What's like of an Aussie, like one of your teammates

241
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: or yourself, but like, what what is the highest bid

242
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: that you've seen that, You're like, that's crazy.

243
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: This year we had Richard Pant and Tresi with the

244
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: two highest which were I think twenty seven twenty eight Crawl,

245
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: which is like near on five six.

246
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: Million, so they and how many games do you play

247
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: in it?

248
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 3: Your fourteen round games plus finals, so you could play

249
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 3: seventeen games.

250
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Incredible, isn't it? It's just amazing.

251
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: It's no wonder you just moved into a new.

252
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: We just took fifteen minutes just buttering you up to

00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Shane Warn has almost been such so much, so many

256
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: headlines around a young guy coming into a Test match

257
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: and you know, after that debut test pretty amazing, it was.

258
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: It was great to see and yeah, for a nineteen

259
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: year old, he's full of confidence. He's just he was

260
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: able to be himself. It's not an arrogance. It's just

261
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: a really comfortable in his own skin, very outgoing, wants

262

264
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: seconds ago. He's just a lovely kid. And then yeah,

265
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: it just came out and played his own way.

266
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: And it's amazing, Mitch because it's as big as it gets.

267

268
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,320

270
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,520

00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 3: on boxing hasn't even been presented his cap yet, and

273
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: Nathan Lin and I were warming up with him and

274
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: he's like, oh, boys, when you reckon, I'll get nervous.

275
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: It feels like a great game. Really.

276
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: You hate to hear that too, Like you don't want.

277
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: To hear that, David.

278
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: I didn't say boo for the whole day. I was

279
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: crapping my pants and these kids like it's a great

280
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: game kicking it.

281
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like that's like for the in the female

282
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: world when the girls like I can just eat whatever

283
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: I want and I never put weight on.

284
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: It's like the equivalent for that.

285
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: It's just nothing like that actually in my in my world,

286
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: it is. Well, Gordy tell Us says the same thing

287
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: when State of Origin Cameron Smith stayed. He's looked across

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: at Cameron Smith was far from a household named he'd

289
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: almost just started playing NRL, you know, handful of games

290
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: and he's looking over and this will be really nervous

291
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: and something happened and whoever's going to be the goalkicker

292
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: I think must have had a twinge in warm up

293
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: and do you want a goal kick? Anyway? Gordon's going

294
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: new walked over and said, oh he Philly and Philly

295
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, I'm good as guy. And he said, mate,

296
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: you do a goalkicking day? He said yeah, He said

297
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: how do you feel about it? He said, yeah, you'll

298
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: kick no problem at all and just went out there

299
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: and just just did it.

300
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: Similar to that Ryan Pappenhausen and Zix I remember like

301
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: when he when he first started playing first grade, he

302
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: come off the bench and played through the middle and

303
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: things like that, and Camera Smith was still playing at

304
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: this stage, and Smith he heard his Smithy had heard

305
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: his ac joined or heard his drawing any one of

306
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: these games. Perhaps may have played just under ten games,

307
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: and it was like, oh, mate, you're.

308
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 4: Happy to goalkick in that?

309
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: And he was like yeah, he's sweet, like just had

310
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: so much confidence and then he was trying to put

311
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: his hand like there was times when perhaps you know,

312
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: there was experienced players out there like Munster and droome

313
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: Us and he'd be wanting to take the field goal

314
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, like just trying to push to

315
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: take on these big moments. Some people just have like

316
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: so much confidence coming.

317
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: Out of him like that. That was like was seeing

318
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: that was amazing? What so taught me through? What was

319
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: the reaction? All the mood you know, when you blokes

320
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: were all watching and the change in there and all

321
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden he's like ramp doing all these trick

322
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: shots for fours and sixes. What what were you guys doing?

323
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it was quite something. It was I

324
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: think for the first over that he started doing it,

325
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: it was like what is going on here? What's his

326
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: kid doing? To Basically everyone was on board apart from

327
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: one player, and everyone was like this is awesome, Like

328
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: he's taking it on and his kids, he's got he's

329
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: either got nothing between the years or he's got big.

330
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: There's only one bloke and Steve Smith was stressing I'm

331
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: not hating. It was just like this is bizarre. And

332
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: then it's been quite a bit made of it, quite

333
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: an older team and I remember coming down he goes, No,

334
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: I'm past it, tricks done, It's past me. I'm too

335
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: old for this. Yeah, you're probably right. I think I'm

336
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: there too.

337
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Wow, it was just incredible to see, like when he

338
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: came back into the like, what what was the reaction

339
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: of the boys when he walked when he walked back in,

340
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: or what was the reaction because oftentimes, you know, it's funny.

341
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: I remember once going it was a Sheffield child game.

342
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: We're on an end of your trip? Were blind drunk?

343
00:15:59,440 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 5: Right?

344
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: Not in eight? And it was New South Wales versus

345
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Victoria And honestly there was about twenty people in the

346
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: whole stadium. We're there at the mcg anyway. Shane Lee

347
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: being he's got out there made he's got about seventy

348
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: two and as he's coming off and we stood near

349
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: that near the tunne where he's walking up the change room.

350
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: I've gone well, played being and he turned and just

351
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: went and smashed like smash smashed his seat right near me,

352
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: And I thought myself, seventy two, I mean that's pretty good.

353
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be pretty happy. So how was seeing

354
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: when he came in he got sixty?

355
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: Was it? He got sixty? In pretty quick time and

356
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: they'd just taken down woman that where you all the

357
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: rest of us couldn't hit on pretty much. I don't

358
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: think he was in the changer when he got out,

359
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: but I've been a few tests gone now he's been

360
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: pretty similar. I think when he got out in the

361
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: first or second innings in Sydney in a similar sort

362
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: of way, being really aggressive and sort of taking it on.

363
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: He was pretty unhappy with the shot and that gave

364
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: himself a few uppercuts. But I think sixty in his

365
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: first test and MC he was like ninety three thousand

366
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: people there was the man. So I wasn't in at

367
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: that time. I can't imagine would have give himself a

368
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 3: upper card. He would have been disappointed getting out, but

369
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: to play the way.

370
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: Did Yeah, is he like that, like if you're going

371
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: to go over to beer, like off field, off the paddick.

372
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: Obviously he's like a bit of a you know, he's confident.

373
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: You got a bit of a swagger on the field.

374
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: But is he like that off the field as well?

375
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: Or is he is he completely different?

376
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 5: Blow?

377
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: That's pretty much him. He was. He was out there

378
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: signing wollographs and he knows who the camera is yeah,

379
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: very confident. Yeah, but no that that was him in

380
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: a nutshell which he played the cricket these two tests away.

381
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: He's off the field just very confident, very very comfortable

382
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 3: in his own skin. He I think he had Oscar

383
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: Piastre and the change rooms on my day three and

384
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: walk straight up to him for his hand mate, how

385
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: are you? Yeah? Woll okay, how's my mate Danny Ricardo going?

386
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 3: He doesn't race anymore?

387
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: Mate? The Coali bump and there's no virts got there

388
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: and right with a young blake here. He probably thinks

389
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: he's getting a little bit ahead of him self and

390
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: he gave him the bump to sort him out. How

391
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: was How was Sam? You know what? What sort of

392
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: advice did you blokes give him? Or was it just

393
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: water for ducks back?

394
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: It seemed like water for Duck's back. He the fact

395
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: that he not bit back. He sort of stood his

396
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: ground and said something of you're at just as like, well,

397
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: this is a nine year old kid. He's not phased

398
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: by Virat who's a god in India, by coming and

399
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 3: giving him a bump.

400
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

401
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: I can't remember what he said exactly, but it was

402
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: bloody hilarious. Probably shouldn't throw Hi under the bus.

403
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: I feel free.

404
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: But even like you said before, that last knock on

405
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: that final day in Sydney, where you know you're chasing,

406
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: you're chasing the school, and I imagine you can go

407
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: out there and chasing it like a you know, smallish margin.

408
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: I can imagine sometimes you're treading on eag shells. It's

409
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: very easy to play nervous, and particularly all the hype

410
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: everything around him, which we would think the pressure on

411
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: his shoulders. And he walked down there and he just

412
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: started marching down the wicket. I'm just going this bloke

413
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: is just fantastic. He just set the tone for that day.

414
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: You're spot on and again play with biker whuns there

415
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: and just take on the game. I think that's whether

416
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: he was instructed to do that from when he came

417
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 3: into the squad or not. He's taken it upon himself to,

418
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 3: like you say, not just get into a you know,

419
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: try and find your way into Test cricket. He's sort

420
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: of taking the game on, taking the big names on

421
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 3: and perhaps maybe went a little bit too far with

422
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: the shot he got out on him, but the fact

423
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: that he got us off to a quick start on

424
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: a tricky wicket chasing. I think in one way or

425
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 3: another that sort of calms a group down as well.

426
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: When you've got a nine year old kid and just

427
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: taking it on and playing freely.

428
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing, right, Like I had people

429
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: who have never really watched cricket being like, how good

430
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: is this test? Like just because of the headlines that

431
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: sort of come out, like obviously Colely bumping this nine

432
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: year old kid and then this kid going out there

433
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 2: on his debut and just like doing all these trick

434
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: shots against like one of the best teams in the world.

435
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: It's did you just guys see it?

436
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 2: The same thing where it was like this test has

437
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: sort of become bigger than any test we've been apart,

438
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: like just it was just in every headline to the paper.

439
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we had seventy thousand people there on day five.

440
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 3: It hasn't happened for a long time. I remember it

441
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: used to be like a gold coin donation on day five.

442
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: Oftentimes they just they throw the gates open just so yeah.

443
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 4: Because no one would want to go to Day five.

444
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 3: Normally fall on a Monday, and I mean we had

445
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 3: it was the Christmas New Year break, right, but yeah,

446
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: day five. Normally it's not as enticing unless that it's

447
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 3: a really exciting game or and the Indian fans travel

448
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: so well, so to have seventy thousand, I think we

449
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: had three hundred and fifty thousand people.

450
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: For the Test match, which wow, that's incredible. You said

451
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: the word tricky before tricky wicket. He's going to need

452
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: some good people around him. It's going to be a

453
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: tricky next twelve months for him, you know, to suddenly

454
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: be a kid that nine percent of the population hadn't

455
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: heard of. Suddenly he's a star, international star now, yeah,

456
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: he's it can be. It can be tricky, Mitch, Yeah, it.

457
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: Can be, and and he's got so much to learn

458
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: and he's got a long time to do that. He's

459
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 3: nineteen years of age. Yeah, yeah, I think I started it.

460
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: He sent me a fat maybe if you're really old.

461
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 3: He sent me a photo after the Sydney Test and

462
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: it was at Dremoine Oval. I think I must have

463
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: been watching a Lisa play and I felt like I

464
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: look young in that fat and he's about this high.

465
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: And now he's in the change of him. So there's

466
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: a few there's been a few instances now I'm getting

467
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: made to feel old, but yeah, you're right. We're going

468
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: to Sri Lanka. He wouldn't have played there before, very

469
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 3: different conditions. It's going to test this game and see

470
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: where he's at. And then the next Test tour after that,

471
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: well we've got the Test Final in England, which he

472
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't I don't think he's played in England, and then

473
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: we go to the West Didneys for three tests, so

474
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 3: you know, three next tours for him, which conditions he

475
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't have experienced yet.

476
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: English tabloids.

477
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's that. I mean there's only one test, so

478
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 3: they're not in it because they're not they have to

479
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 3: finished sixth.

480
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: Sweet you said before twenty eleven your first Test tests,

481
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: some big names, they'd let you know you're ponting Clark hussy.

482
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: How you said for how nervous we walk into that

483
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: change room for the first time.

484
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was lucky that I debd in the white

485
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 3: ball game the year before. So I remember going on

486
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: my first tour for Australiers to India in about September

487
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 3: in twenty ten, so when on someone got injured, I

488
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: got called into the Test squad. Hadn't been India before.

489
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 3: I hadn't met half these blokes before, and they had

490
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: already got over there because I was a replacement and

491
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: rocked up. And remember the first day I was downstairs

492
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: waiting to get on the basket training and I had

493
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: to get some from a bag and I was hunched

494
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: over and get knocked over by something Ricky ponting crap,

495
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: How are youngster from then? I think I was very

496
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: lucky that I had a fair few new South Wales

497
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 3: guys in the group to make me feel somewhat more

498
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: comfortable around the group. But it was like chalk and

499
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 3: cheese with Sam. I remember chatting to Uzy about it.

500
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: In a test when we David, we just like stand

501
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: in the corner, be quiet, wait for a spot to

502
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: open up in the change room and then we'll sit

503
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: down and only speak when spoken to. And there's this

504
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 3: young kid just like getting around everyone.

505
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: And what the dynamic of a test like, well, talk

506
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: about the one in twenty eleven when you're in between tests.

507
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: He's having big nights like as a squad, are you

508
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: going out and like a bit of team bonding on

509
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: the piss or is it very much is like he

510
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: is locked in for the whole sort of duration of

511
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: the test.

512
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 3: Now we're a pretty flexible group. There's a lot of golf.

513
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it changes from it depends what the gap

514
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: in the tests are. So we had a pretty big

515
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: gap between Perth and Adelaide, so everyone got to go

516
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 3: home for a couple of nights. You sort of the

517
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 3: lead up tends to be about three days, so you

518
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: have roughly again depending on how big the gap is,

519
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: but you normally have that. So we work backwards from

520
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: day one. Day before is always optional, so I don't

521
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: think I've been to an optional session in fifteen years.

522
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 3: And then day before that's a main session. So that's

523
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 3: as structured as we get, so everyone will turn up there.

524
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: Nets are structured, there's a bit of fielding, maybe getting

525
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: the gym a bit, and it's that's as structured as

526
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 3: our team gets. And the day before that's individuals. So

527
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: everything will be facilitated. If you want to hit for

528
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: three hours, you can hit for three hours, bowl x

529
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: amount of overs, if you want a field, if you

530
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 3: want to go in the gym, everything's facilitated, but up

531
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 3: to your individual prep. Outside of that, you know, in

532
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: terms of the drinking side of it, I don't think

533
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: I had to. Well, I think bowling wise, that stuff hurts.

534
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: So we tend to pick and choose our times. Yeah, ok,

535
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: and mostly make up in the times were we got

536
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: off or at the end of a series and there's

537
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: no there's no rules around it. We're all all big

538
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: boys or old enough to make decisions. So that's where

539
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 3: it falls on you if you go too hard or.

540
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: Let's what we had Dave Warner on the podcast last year,

541
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: and he the way he described it, it was like

542
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: he was having like a bottle of what was he

543
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: drinking gin or something before before some massive games in that.

544
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems he seems.

545
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: Kind of flexible in his own Obviously it works for

546
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: different people. But that's why I thought that is everyone

547
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: doing that or is bowling because you're you know, you're

548
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: probably doing a lot more running those boys, like can

549
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: you you have to be a bit more professional with it.

550
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: Again, we're all you're old enough to make your own Decisionyah.

551
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, bowling hurts a bit, so I would hate

552
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: to do that hungover or not that I have, I've

553
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 3: I can choose my times a bit more, so, you know,

554
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: if the boys are gone having a few beers and

555
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: it's back to back tests. I'll have a zero or

556
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: something like that.

557
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just recently this to a podcast on

558
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: the great Keith Miller. Of course probably you know, alongside

559
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: Chaine Warner is probably the most charismatic cricketers of all time.

560
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: And when he was war hero and as revered as

561
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: he was in Australia, in England he was he was

562
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: a guide. So he was just out there all the time.

563
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: And they said very often he'd just be out on

564
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: the town and goes straight from wherever he was nightclubs

565
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: or other places and just up at the Test match.

566
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: And Bradman hated him for doing. They didn't get along,

567
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: very different personality. So Bradman one day at heading Lee

568
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: and Leeds made him field long on and then made

569
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: him go down the other end of the field like anyway.

570
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: Someone eventually, one of the poems gave him a bike

571
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: so he would fill long on then ride to the

572
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: other the right to the other end and back. They

573
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: one of the one of the greatest characters of all time.

574
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: And you know, like in those days or even you

575
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: talk about guys like Doug Walters in the seventies and

576
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: that just on the source every night and getting out there.

577
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: But very very different these days yourself, which like superstitions.

578
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 3: Not really, I don't think it's a superstition, but and

579
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 3: I don't know why I do it, but because I've

580
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: been asked the fair a few times, I, for whatever reason,

581
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 3: they get to the end of my mark, I always

582
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: turn left. I don't know why. Training It doesn't matter really,

583
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 3: I don't know why.

584
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: He right handed, left handed?

585
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: Left always left.

586
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny how your brain works for that. Sometimes. Yeah,

587
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: you get that some one lude turns one side of

588
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: the field. You just feel more balanced.

589
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: Still, we're all strange, aren't we.

590
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: We are, well some strange. I'm talking about Jack like

591
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: on devoot, which where you go back right and you're

592
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: on your mark, You've got the ball in the left hand,

593
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: you're about to run in like what was like how nervous.

594
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 3: Were I can't even tell you how nervous? I reckon.

595
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: So Mum Alisa was there as well, and I reckon

596
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 3: that we were very lucky all I was lucky that

597
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: we bowled first, so they didn't have time to really

598
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: sit there all day and think about it, and straight

599
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: out there. We had a debut with Daby Warner and

600
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: James Pattinson, so three of us on debut and the

601
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: way Elisa describes it was hardly said boot before the game,

602
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: probably didn't say anything during that first session. Came out

603
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 3: to say hello at lunch and barely said a word.

604
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: Then it wasn't until like the end of day one

605
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 3: where I kind of okay. But I think it was

606
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 3: like that first of all, first ball, I was just

607
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: happy to h.

608
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, where to go?

609
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: Talk us through that first ball were you can't remember.

610
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 3: I know it hit the wickets, so that's a good start.

611
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: I can't remember the first but I remember the first

612
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 3: wicket was was Brendan McCallum.

613
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's good, good scout first up.

614
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I was happy to get one on debut.

615
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: We won the Test match, so it was our first

616
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: team song for the three debut times. We had a

617
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: new coach, some new staff, so it was it. It

618
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 3: was a cool week, you know the key Wes beat

619
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 3: us the next week, but that first the first week

620
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: was was was awesome to be part of.

621
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are there some insights with your favorite Like, firstly,

622
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: do you love touring? Do you like you know the

623
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: touring aspect of it, because I mean it is demanding

624
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: and being away from your loved ones. But do you

625
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: enjoy it?

626
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting one. I still enjoy it. I

627
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: think some of the novelties this is very first wall problems.

628
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, the whole flying and living out

629
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: of hotels and suitcases. The novelties worn off a bit.

630
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 4: Sometimes you wish there was a class above the first time.

631
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: We're actually talking about a lead athlete team.

632
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I say, first of all problems, like, we're

633
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: very well looked after. That I'll start there. It's very rarely,

634
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: is it not a good hotel? Or yes, we fly

635
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: business class. I'll be at the front end of Morrow. Yes,

636
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: So in that regard we're very well looked after. But

637
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: I've played three formats for what near on fifteen years,

638
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 3: so the whole living out of suitcases does get a

639
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 3: bit dull sometimes, But yeah, to all, life can be great.

640
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean some of the I feel like England's almost

641
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: the best one because there's no flying. You're on a

642
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: bus between between cities and stuff. You're on a bus,

643
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: so it's cards in the back or guys want to

644
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: do their own thing. So in that regard being around

645
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: the group's great. There's a big golf and contingent at

646
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: the moment. It's a lot of golf being played. So

647
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: as a group, I think we're in such a sweet spot.

648
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: Even though we're a bit older, that's still it's still

649
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: great to be a part of. And I still love

650
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 3: playing cricket with him.

651
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: Run us through the socialite Like you're saying, there's a

652
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: there's a card group, there's a golf group. Who's the

653
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: what cards.

654
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: Are you playing?

655
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: And who's sort of in that group?

656
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: He's like five hundred.

657
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: Or it was a bit of five hundred. It's thirty

658
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 3: one going on at a minute.

659
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: What's that one?

660
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: It was brought in by a couple of Victorians. So

661
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: you get three cards and you've got to make you

662
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: the high score with the same suit. You don't want

663
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 3: to be last. Basically it goes around the table. Yeah right,

664
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: it's a.

665
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: Very simple game for simple minded cricketers hence Victorians.

666
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.

667
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. A lot is purely a joke.

668
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: Who's the best golfer in the because like obviously it

669
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: has to be a batsman.

670
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 3: Right, Uh, there's a few good golfers. There's a bit

671
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: of a bit on the table too, but Davy was

672
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: very good. He was off about four three or four.

673
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: Maxi's off one, and there's a bunch of us like

674
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 3: between five and ten, and then we try and get

675
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 3: as many involved as we can. We had Mitch marsh

676
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: and I were designated golf commissioners, so it started through

677
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: COVID and ended up getting my hands on well a

678
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: lot of time in hotels, so I found a found

679
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: a replica master's jacket and logo, so I've got that

680
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: and played for the jacket. So we'd set up tournaments

681
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: and different sort of style formats and play for the

682
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: jacket and got more and more people involved. If you

683
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: didn't have a handicap, we'd sort of designate if you're

684
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: a professional athlete in a bat and ball sport, you

685
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: can't be more than aid staff. We sort of extended

686
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: to like dirty maybe, but try to get everyone involved

687
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: and have golf days and just get out of hotels

688
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: and have some fun.

689
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: I've never seen like I've never seen someone who's not

690
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: a golfer hit a ball like a cricketer like me

691
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: and Jack played with Chris Lynn and lind Sanity dead set.

692
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how we could even see the ball

693
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: as well on this day. It had a big night

694
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,239
Speaker 2: the night before, and we just just continued on and

695
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: he was dead set cracking it. It would have been

696
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: going three hundred easy and everyone's just going wow. And

697
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: then he's going then in true like fashion, just full

698
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: of confidence.

699
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: You go.

700
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: That one's on the top of the gabba.

701
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: Are you amazed me? Sometimes with cricketers, how you know

702
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: you're in your left bowler right b or vice versa.

703
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: Are you you are left golfer?

704
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? On one of those traditional ones lefty left. So

705
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: Josh Hazward's one he bowls right, that's left, plays golf left.

706
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: You're right because ten ten Dooker, he's a left bowler,

707
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: isn't he? Ten Dooker left bowler? Right? Because I know

708
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: Lara plays right when he plays golf.

709
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: He can play both.

710
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: Cany oh, Kenny, Yeah, there's a few. Yeah, left right,

711
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: because he's the amazing one. To Michael Hussey, Michael Hussey

712
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: is a righty, but he loved Allan Border growing up,

713
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: so actually taught himself to play left. Oh wow, that's amazing.

714
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: It's an interesting cookbar Not.

715
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: Really so, is that?

716
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 5: Jack?

717
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,239
Speaker 1: Hang on?

718
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 4: We got we can turn Jack up and down.

719
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 5: As well, just on, just on Lenny from before. I

720
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 5: don't think you remember you that day. Also, it was

721
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 5: for a charity event and there was lots of press

722
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: around and there might have been a golf buggy with

723
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 5: a reporter and a cameraman rock up to him right

724
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 5: after he had a big hit, and he proceeded to

725
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 5: probably give one of the worst of the whole golf

726
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 5: day I've I've ever heard of my life.

727
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 4: How many takes you and he did?

728
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did seven different They were like, we just

729
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 2: want to can you just tell us about the day.

730
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: He ended up doing seven different takes. And then by

731
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: the end, the girl just didn't even I don't even

732
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: think she ended up. It didn't go to air. It

733
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: was Channel seven and to promote the Mick Fanning golf

734
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: charity Day. Sweet and it was so bad, so bad

735
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: he could barely talk and he's got yeah, and then

736
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: she just ended up brushing it completely.

737
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: Your favorite city to visit, firstly, you know, socially, you

738
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: know on tour, but socially of the off the pitch.

739
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: She's a good question. I mean, England's very easy to

740
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: go to isn't it. It's very much like home. You

741
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: can get out, you can go to restaurants, you can

742
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: walk around. They got lovely golf courses, so yeah, London's

743
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: great for that, and get outside of London and play

744
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: Sunningdale and things like that.

745
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: Favorite cricket city, like your favorite pitch.

746
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: I'll give you two. I think playing at Lords is

747
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: very special. Of early on I was always running drinks

748
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 3: there and then managed to get a few games there.

749
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: And it's for cricket as anyway. It's like the home

750
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: and cricket right so and at times it's very proper,

751
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 3: not always because sometimes you run a blokeout and they spray.

752
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, and all the oldies in the

753
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 2: clubhouse hurling abuse.

754
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: You is you're pretty well. It's pretty funny. That is good.

755
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: That's a cool place to play. But I think for me,

756
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: Adelaide was awesome, just the they always get a huge

757
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 3: crowd there. I think they do it so well. The

758
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: cricket's great. The wicket is probably the best in the country.

759
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 3: It's in recent years it's always been the pink Ball Test,

760
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: so they do the whole week so well. The facilities

761
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: are great, the people are great. I've always enjoyed that

762
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: Test match, so they're probably too that stand out to me.

763
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: There's probably a few more, but off the top of

764
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 3: my head.

765
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: The question I was gonna ask, I mean a question,

766
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask your favorite guy to bowl too.

767
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't ask you the mats at the end of

768
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: the day, remember warning Shane Warren saying he'd love to

769
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: bowlder Darryl Callmon every single day. It was his bunny,

770
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: But yourself like, who's the batsman like that? You've got

771
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: amazing respectful that your bowld to that, Just go mate.

772
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: This guy is just something special.

773
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: The one that stands out probably a Abdville is he

774
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: was someone he doesn't play anymore, but he read the

775
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: game so well. He was an unbelievable player. When I

776
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 3: Stuth Africa's best. I actually got the chance to play

777
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: with him in the IPL and was lucky enough to

778
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 3: see him first hand from the non strikers. And I

779
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: remember one game vividly. It was Dale Stain was bowling

780
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 3: and he was an unbelievable ball or two and we're

781
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: in a bit of strife and ab was smacking him

782
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 3: everywhere and he's I know what he going to bowl.

783
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 3: He's he's not trusting his Yorkus, so he's going to

784
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 3: bowl length and if he goes whir, I'm going to

785
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 3: step inside and hit him six over the leg side.

786
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: If he does this, I'm going to step in step

787
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: the leg and hit him over that way bowl exactly

788
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 3: what he thought he'd six. Wow, he goes Now he's

789
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 3: going to do this because he hit him that one.

790
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: He did that. This bloke's unbelievable.

791
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: These were batsmen. Do they have genuinely have time to

792
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: react like two bowls or do they have to almost

793
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: rely on their instincts and like what they think is

794
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 2: going to come because you only get a split second, right.

795
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm talking about a bowler.

796
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

797
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,959
Speaker 3: I just been like yeah, yea, yeah. I'd imagine these

798
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 3: best in the world. They sort of know what they're

799
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: doing all the time, Right, There'll be an element of

800
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 3: like that ab sort of reading the field and going

801
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 3: I think he's going to do this, so premeditating to

802
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: a degree, But at the same time they're just so good.

803
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 3: That's why they're the best, because they can react so quickly.

804
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 3: They can get the reading off the field and yeah,

805
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's an element of premeditation, particularly in T twenty.

806
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: When you are batting, what do you what do you

807
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: look for? What's your what's your focus?

808
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 3: Not eating the head?

809
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah it's a pretty good one. I still get anything.

810
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 3: Do you hate it?

811
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 4: Do you hate going out batting?

812
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: Like?

813
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 4: Is it?

814
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: Just as a bowler you're just like, oh no, I

815
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: don't I please don't put me.

816
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, it's one of the best incentives

817
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: for bowlers having to bat is the long year bat

818
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: unless you have to bowl. Yeah, yeah, it's not that

819
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: we hate it. I much more enjoy batting in red

820
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 3: bull cricket than white ball cricket because when I have

821
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 3: to bat in white ball cricket, it's almost come out

822
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: and trying well, try and hit boundaries from the get go,

823
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 3: and I can't do that anymore, not than I over could.

824
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: But whereas in Test cricket you've got a bit more time,

825
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 3: you tend to be batting with a batter, have a

826
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: bit of fun with it. So I certainly enjoy red ball.

827
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: Do you do you bounce fast bowlers? Because in the

828
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, almost a gentleman's agreement fast bowlers didn't bounce.

829
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: Fast bowlders is that gone? Now that is gone.

830
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 3: It still remains at training, so you never bounce the

831
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: other balls at training, but it's gone now. At cricket

832
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 3: it's I'm going to get you before you get me.

833
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: Well, I imagine if you're in the in the eighties

834
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: with the West Indies, you certainly wouldn't be bouncing them

835
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: because you know now it was going to come back

836
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: five attack, like Michael holding coops one of the greatest

837
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: fast bowls of all time. They said he could have

838
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: been a four hundred meter runner at the Olympics. Just

839
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: beautiful mover. When he first come as a young guy,

840
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: his run up was almost from the site screen and

841
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: the he's called him whispering death. Just come in and

842
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: like he's just beautiful movement. And they said that the

843
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: run in was just like mesmerizing. He has he stepped

844
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: towards crease and the guy who had almost the best

845
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: record against him was Kim Hughes and it might have

846
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 1: been Allen Boarder. One of them said to Kim Hughes,

847
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: I watch your secret and he says, I don't watch

848
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: the run up. He said as he goes back to

849
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: the site screen, he said, I put my head down

850
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: and counter five, then put it up at the end,

851
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: he said, otherwise you just get transfixed with it. Yeah,

852
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: is that an interesting story?

853
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: That one actually was interesting. I was just I should

854
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: have put my head down when you were telling Yeah, sorry,

855
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: I was about to turn your mic off. Have you

856
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: got an all time favorite teammate?

857
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: We're pretty close unit the bowlers. Yeah. Again, we're very lucky.

858
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: So the four of us are all New South Wales.

859
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: Josh pat and I pretty much grew up together. I

860
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 3: played first time I met Josh we were both both

861
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: trialing for the under seventies New South Wales team. He

862
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: was country, I was city. He was a big dog.

863
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 3: Everyone knew about Josh Hazel with this big kid from

864
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: the country, terrorized people and then made the team together

865
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: and have played in every team since. So got a

866
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 3: great bond with Joshy Pats a little bit younger but

867
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 3: same same deal. Sort of grew up together with the

868
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 3: three of us through New South Wales cricket and as

869
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 3: the oldest and sort of went from act to South

870
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 3: Australia to New South Wales because he didn't want to

871
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: face us. Yeah, and then the four of us played

872
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 3: so much cricket for probably played together for twelve years maybe,

873
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 3: so the four of us spent a lot of time

874
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: away from cricket together, obviously touring together as well, And

875
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: I'd say, yeah, between the four of us, that's pretty

876
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: all right.

877
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: Now you can only save one of them, Like they're

878
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: in a lifecraft's going down. You only have one life

879
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: jacket picked between one of those three if you like,

880
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: you have to otherwise they all go down.

881
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 3: Well, a part of me wants to say Josh, but

882
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: I'd have to pick Pat because he's got too much

883
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 3: cash and he's got all the contact. Yeah.

884
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's yells himself well done, he's a good Now

929
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 3: I'm married a wiki keepers, so I knew what I

930
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 3: was in for. Yeah, it's best to take my medicine.

931
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know that's about. Yeah. What do you

932
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: argue over? Generally toilet seeds being up and down.

933
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 3: And pretty good with that. What do we argue about?

934
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: Probably me spending too much time cutting the grass?

935
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, really don't.

936
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 3: Argue too much, and I spend enough time together.

937
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: There's grass you can't. Did she ever sledge you of

938
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: your bowling? Yeah?

939
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she sledged my bowling a little bit. She

940
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 3: I think she saves it all from a golf game.

941
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, right, she a good golfer, better than me.

942
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: I hear you.

943

Speaker 1: to have have a have a day, have a tournament.

945
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,920

946
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 3: competitive to bloody athletes. Who Yeah, so we play for

947
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: an annual trophy, so it goes you round. So there's

948
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: no said amount around the golf. But every time we

949
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 3: do play together, you play for points. So end of

950
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 3: on news, you've we've made the rule that the losers

00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 4: That doesn't that's pretty maulating.

955
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: What about like the festive season, right when you get

956
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: out of there bit of backyard cricket, do you hit

957
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: it with a bit of the short stuff?

958
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 3: You see? My backyard cricket is Boxing day Test match of.

959
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: Course, of course, but do you play Do you ever

960
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: get out there and just sort of roll the arm

961
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: over it?

962
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 5: No?

963
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 3: We we So one of my best mates runs an

964
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: indoor center and greet academy. So back years ago we

965
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: used to both have nets at the same time. He'd

966
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 3: feedballs or throw balls to both of us and we

967
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 3: used to try and hit them at each other. So

968
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 3: we got banned from training together and I did. I

969
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 3: did bowl to her once. I was coming back from

970
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 3: a back stressy so I was in rehab bowling stage

971
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 3: and I reckon I was at the SCG. She said, oh,

972
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 3: I'll come and face them. So I was bowling a

973
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 3: few tour off the short run and she wasn't to

974
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 3: worry about the pace. It was more of the bounce

975
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 3: in the release and then two competitives start to go back.

976
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 3: I was going to get in trouble for bowling too much.

977
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, it hasn't been a lot of training against

978
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 3: one another. We'll go to the gym and stuff. But

979
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 3: cricket wise, that got cut off a while ago.

980
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: Mate, what's the mood in the house? Right? If you

981
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,919
Speaker 1: get a five fer and around the same time she's

982
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: having a tough run drops a couple of catchers, gets dark,

983
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: what's the or vice versa, what's the mood like?

984
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 3: I'd say we are both pretty grumpy when things aren't

985
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 3: going well. I'd say we're pretty level when it's going well.

986
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 3: We've both been out on ninety nine, which was one

987
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 3: to talk about. That was interesting. Yeah, I'd say She's

988
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 3: put it this way. If I win it golf, I

989
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 3: have to give it's I've got to wait like at

990
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 3: least a beer and a half before I start giving

991
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 3: a crap about it because she's a bad loser.

992
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: Really, what's that? What's the emotion when you get it

993
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: on ninety nine? Because it's a fast bowler. Ninety nine's

994
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: a hell of a cheap. Were you filthy or did

995
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: you just yeah? I suppose it was.

996
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 3: It was in India, so it would have been cool

997
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 3: to get one in India, But it was a long

998
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 3: time ago now when I used to be able to

999
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 3: bat got out for ninety nine. I think Steve Smith

1000
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 3: got out for ninety six the same game, So I

1001
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 3: think part of me was like, I got to ninety nine,

1002
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 3: that's cool. Part of me was like.

1003
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: Flu stories As I said, this a fire that burns

1004
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: in me is going to release a little bit of

1005
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: the pressure.

1006
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: Now.

1007
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: I remember once they took Fox Sports took me Channel

1008
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: nine actually, when I was still there, they took me

1009
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: to pre ashes camp about access as far as the

1010
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: medium would just shown some of the stuff we did

1011
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: with the Rugby League at the time when players were

1012
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: coming off or being substituted. I'd ask him a question

1013
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: on the sideline, and you know, they were nine were

1014
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: after that sort of access anyway, Stuey McGill mcguilla he

1015
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: stood up and said, mate, I'm telling you now, I

1016
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: don't care if I got scored one hundred and fifty.

1017
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: If you stuck a microphone in front of it in

1018
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: front of my mouth and I'm coming off. I job you,

1019
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: And I said mcguilla, I've seen you Bat. You wouldn't

1020
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty. Shout out. Now you're bro

1021
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: Brandon make champion high jumper Conwalth Games gold, just mister

1022
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: metal at Paris. Okay, the younger brother thing is there.

1023
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: Although you're wishing all the very best, is there part

1024
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: of you that was anxious, harboring a bit of anxiety

1025
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: as far as if he'd got a gold medal he

1026
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: might be cast a wee shadow on your success, thus

1027
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: being relieved when he didn't get a medal.

1028
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 3: No, not relief. No, I've loved watching him. I think

1029
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 3: one thing. I'll go on a bit away from the

1030
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: question here, but I've loved the fact that I get

1031
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: great perspective from him as an individual athlete. And I'm

1032
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 3: very lucky that I've been in a team sport the

1033
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: whole time. I've got. If I don't do well, likely

1034
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 3: with someone another one of the other ten blugs is

1035
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 3: going to do something well. Whereas individual year it can

1036
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 3: be a lonely road. Sometimes it's a tough gig. You

1037
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 3: can be stuck in your own own head a few times.

1038
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 3: So no, I think it was. It was awesome to

1039
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: see him win that gold medal in the Calm Games.

1040
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 3: There's been times where I remember watching him. We're in COVID,

1041
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: it might have been a soko somewhere, and I never

1042
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 3: thought I'd be standing on a field in Dhaka in

1043
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 3: Bangladesh in the middle of a training session with the

1044
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 3: iPad watching him jump in and have the whole team

1045
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 3: in between fielding jewels come and watch to see how

1046
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 3: he's going. So that was pretty cool. And then this

1047
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 3: most recent one, having the family back home and watching

1048
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 3: watching him on the big screen handled himself well yeah,

1049
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: so yeah, very proud of him.

1050
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I wish my younger brother all the yeah

1051
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: that he ever cast a shadow on my success.

1052
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: You and your brother have a great relationship, I will,

1053
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 2: I will say as well all of us. Really, I've

1054
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: only ever played team sport. It must be so tough.

1055
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 2: I got so much admiration for like a sport like

1056
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: boxing in particular, where it's just you training every day.

1057
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 2: It must be so hard because some days you get

1058
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 2: into even teensport training and you're going, oh, I do

1059
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 2: not want to be here, but you kind of feed

1060
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 2: off everyone else's imagine swimming.

1061
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: Swimming, you just got your head in the bucket.

1062
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 2: You can't even put headphones on and listen to music.

1063
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 3: He's watching that black line that's.

1064
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: Yesterday.

1065
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 3: I know this.

1066
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 2: We do have a bit of a sort of a

1067
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 2: expose and emotional connection to Ustaky because Jack, every year

1071
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,520

Speaker 2: Seriously, we usually only get.

1082
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: To two like we let him do quota apologies about that. Now,

1083
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: let's let's sort of let's let's lift it out of

1084
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: the gutter for a second here, now, Fletcher HEINDI a

1085
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: little bit of audio here. They interviewed your cricketers reasonably,

1086
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: and we discovered some some things about poor old Mitch Marsh.

1087
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: Does Mitch Marsh have a small appendage?

1088
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 3: Yes? Is it true?

1089
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: You have the smallest penis in the current cricket cricket squad?

1090
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 3: Yes? Is that true?

1091
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: I love the fact he owns it. Yeah.

1092
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 2: I mean he's not a ligitectfest so it's pretty hard

1093
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: to lie.

1094
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 3: Is that? Is that?

1095
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: Obviously if FLETCHENHEINDI knew that, it is that somehow public knowledge?

1096
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 2: Like how is that such public knowledge?

1097
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: How does that get out? It's funny all the things

1098
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: he's done done in cricket, all the success he said

1099
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: when he when he walks to the to the crease,

1100
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: now he's in the field, they flash to him. All

1101
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: I can think is small penis. Anyways, some things you

1102
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: just need to keep to yourself. Now, Mitch. When the players,

1103
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, celebrate out of having a few beers after

1104
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: a series win, which which Cricket was most likely to

1105
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: get a guitar and entertain the boys.

1106
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 3: Good question probably is that Mitch Well, he's one of

1107
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: the good ones.

1108
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 4: Is there a player that's not good on the guitar?

1109
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 3: I know what you're alluding to.

1110
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: Well, let's have a listen, because, in my opinion, tickets

1111
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: are on sales soon. Steve Smith has a really unique

1112
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: musical talents.

1113
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 3: Did I see you.

1114
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 4: Dance around your dress? And I've seen you painful?

1115
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 2: That the small tim was he going through something?

1116
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 3: That's the clearest I've ever heard it, because normally when

1117
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 3: it starts being played the whole rooms in.

1118
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 2: Does he does that get played in team meetings and

1119
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 2: stuff and he hates it?

1120
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 3: Does he really regret it? I think now the fact

1121
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 3: that he's taken up golf and I haven't seen him

1122
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 3: with the guitar lately, he probably says enough.

1123
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 4: Was that Covid? Was that like Covid he tought himself

1124
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:16,959
Speaker 4: or something?

1125
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 3: I feel I don't know if it's the same minor

1126
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 3: if it was the second one, but there was one

1127
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 3: while he's at the IPL Yeah, And I don't know

1128
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 3: if that's the one he posted with yeah, yeah, I mean.

1129
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: What he's self taught. It's a bad advertise for the

1130
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: home I'll.

1131
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 4: Tell you what.

1132
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: What's worse, Like Steve Smith singing or some of Dave

1133
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 2: Warner's dancing videos. I love getting on Dave's Instagram and

1134
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 2: just watching all of his when he went to his

1135
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: real TikTok period.

1136
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's on fire with quick fire questions best mate

1137
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: the Australian side. You've said it before player if you're

1138
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: sitting on a long haul flight.

1139
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I can finish that question. Yeah right.

1140
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 2: Why does everyone always say that about manus?

1141
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 3: I don't think he knows how just to sit there

1142
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 3: quietly or like watch a movie on a plane, or

1143
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: he has to have that interaction. So thankfully he's found

1144
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: Steven Smith, so we just try to put those two

1145
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 3: together now on flights. But yeah, he just has to

1146
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: there's so much cricket going on. He's found golf as well,

1147
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 3: but he's always on. I'd love to have his energy sometimes,

1148
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 3: but at the same time, I can't do.

1149
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 2: That small doses cordial like he can't have like if.

1150
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 3: He loves his coffee, so he's got his own coffee

1151
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 3: bean roasting company. But so he just must be full

1152
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 3: of cafe.

1153
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, a player, And I've told me this about

1154
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: the Red League players. We always joke it players who

1155
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: the player who's batting overs relationship was? And she don't answer.

1156
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: It makes the line there's something here. Self explained to

1157
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: player who looks most like a Garbo Travis Head. Of

1158
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: course she's I like him, Travis Head. He looks like

1159
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 1: a real character player, the best player to have a

1160
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: night out with. He'd be pretty good.

1161
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 3: Travis said, Yeah, let's go with Trevor because he he's

1162
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,080

1230
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: Invincibles become. Babe Ruth was a massive Bradman fan. So

1231

Speaker 1: after they went through England Clean Sweet and went through

1232
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: the Bay, Bruce sent a letter telegram to Donald Bradman

1233
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: inviting the Australian cricket side to stop through his guests

1234
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: of the New York Yankees. So they went there and

1235
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: of course a fair crowd turned up to watch now

1236
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: to see the great Donald Bradman, and Babe Ruth asked

1237
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: him to step step into the cage and never hit

1238
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: and donal as Donald said, no, I'd rather not just

1239
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: it anyway. One of the players, now I don't know

1240
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: what was Stean McKay, but might or Arthur Morris, I'm

1241
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: not sure one of the players. People I'm sure will

1242
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: correct me on this. But he went in and the

1243
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: Yankees picture through the first one bang home run, second one,

1244
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: bang home run, and Babyruce said, how'd you do that?

1245
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: And he said, they just keep throwing me full tosses.

1246
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: True story, Yeah, true story.

1247
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 2: I'd love for someone to validate it, because Dad's told

1248
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 2: us that since I reckon we were four years old,

1249
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: and no, I've never heard it from another source. I'd

1250
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 2: love if anyone out there who has actually heard.

1251
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: That before please let us know.

1252
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure they will, or if he was lying, let

1253
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 2: it get his touch about that as well.

1254
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure they will. Good story, Good luck with the
