1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: Darcy water Grave sports store. 2 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,559 Speaker 2: Coasters with me does near the policey Allen. 3 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: No surprise, Gary Steed has now officially retired. 4 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 2: That's it end of season or season in a month. 5 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 2: Once this contract expires, he's going to go on I 6 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 2: don't know, lying a deck chair. I have no idea 7 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: what he's going to do with actually want. 8 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: To retire or is it that they forced him out 9 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: because he didn't want to do the whole job. 10 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: He said, I want to be the test coach. That's 11 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: all I'm interested in being. That is it. I don't 12 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: want to take every possible level of cricket and run 13 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: with it. It's too tiring, we told me. He said, 14 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: I'm buggered, not fair enough, that's well born, and he 15 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: doesn't want to so he's not there and he's on 16 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: a cricket went while we want someone to do all three. 17 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: Are you going to talk about this tonight? After we 18 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 2: talked with Gary Stead on Sports Talk if they made 19 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: a huge error here and letting go all of that ip, 20 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: all of that understanding, that dealing with the group so 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: they can go one coach. 22 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: Fix explained why they did that. 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: Not to me, because I mean they probably. 24 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: Seemed like a completely wild idea to have two different coaches. 25 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same game, but it's two different disciplines. 26 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: Verybody else is doing it. 27 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: No, I mean it's like I would argue, it's like 28 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: coaching rugby league and rugby union. It's like same, same 29 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: but different. 30 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same kind of plays roughly. I think 31 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: the problem it was coach doing at all is that 32 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: with one coach to cover all the rule them all, 33 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: it's an enormous amount of work. Yes, traveling all over 34 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 2: the world to all different areas of the world, dealing 35 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: with all these different characters and all these different teams. 36 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: That's a lot to do. Yeah, maybe it's just cheaper. 37 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I did wonder if that do them all. 38 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: We've got much money, so we will give you X 39 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: and you do everything. I'm fine because. 40 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: Otherwise, I mean, if if Gary wants to do half 41 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: the job, then Gary has to get paid half the wage. 42 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: And nobody would want that, would they not? 43 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: Really, he loves what he does and he's had huge success. 44 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: To you. When we were talking about this on Friday 45 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: with the Sports Huddle, the question was whether Gary would 46 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: be remembered as a wonderful coach or would he be 47 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: remembered as a coach who had a lot of bad 48 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: runs in between the good runs pretty inconsistent. 49 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 2: He's not dead stop. It reflect on his career now 50 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: in cricket, it is impossible to hit that top level 51 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: and stay there for seven years across all formats. It 52 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: just does not happen. 53 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: So he will be wonderful. 54 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: Yes, the Indians have got all the money, all the talents, 55 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 2: everything in the world. Have they done it? No? Okay, 56 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: in fact, they got humbled in their own backyard. We've 57 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: got no players, no resources, no nothing. So what he's done, 58 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: I think if you look at it a trend since 59 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: he's had the team, they've been going on an upward 60 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: in yet time they dip, but that's okay, like an 61 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: Enny graph you have you look at the trend. The 62 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: trend is this team has got better and better and better. 63 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: They're getting to semi finals, they're getting into finals, winning 64 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 2: the game. Yeah, they fall apart, but I don't think 65 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: there's a cricket team in the world. Maybe sure of 66 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: the Australians back in their helse and that routinely pulled 67 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: everyone apart. 68 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: Best news here the best newstead. Look at the number 69 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: of senior players that have jumped in recent times, and 70 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: it's all down to his man management skills all lack thereof. 71 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: And this person comes from what position of strength? 72 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: Just just pointing it out. 73 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: All these plays that left you'd have to finish playing 74 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: the end of their careers, keep going, Saud. 75 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: He was at the end of the one eye shut 76 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: that other eye because you're one eyed. 77 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: Listen, I'm blind in my eyes.
