1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Turn of the Nizbo Hi, good day, Luke if one 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Overnights and he was leading the Drivers' Championship into it. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: He only needed to place and did just that. Congratulations 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: Lando Morris. 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been consistent throughout the year. They wrapped up 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: the Drivers' Championship McLaren him and Pastree or months ago 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 2: now it would seem. And as you say, all he 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: had to do was stay on the road basically make 9 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: it onto the podium, and that's precisely what is what 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: he did. Disappointing for Liam Lawson who was going pretty well, 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: sort of mid pack and then he copped a five 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: second penalty for some reason or other and finished up 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,959 Speaker 2: way down the list. But nevertheless, I mean I think 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: he achieved what he wanted to and that's to retain 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: the drive for next year, can start all over again. 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: But a dominant season really for McLaren. 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 1: So in the end it was Lee Lawson finishing eighteenth 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: after starting thirteenth Max for Stappan certainly gave it a 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: good nudge. So too blistering qualification lapse which landed him poll. 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: Who would have thought that he would have been entitled 21 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: contention given that he was one hundred and four points 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: off the championship lead at the start of September, so 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: spirited finish. 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it just shows the quality of the bloke, doesn't it. Really. 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: I mean I think he's a four time world champion, 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: so he certainly got runs on the board. Unfortunately for Max, 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: he didn't have any backup really. Obviously started off with 28 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: Liam and that only went two races. Then he inherited 29 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: Yuki Sonoda, who was off the pay for most of 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: the season, so he's had to be a bit of 31 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 2: a lone ranger. But what quality driver though. 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: Over at the Gabba, England to be gutted that they 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: weren't able to chase down Australia, winning by eight wickets. 34 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked I'd been awful England, they really have, 35 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: and they've got beaten them two days in Perth. This 36 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: one at least got into the fourth day, but they 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: collapsed under the lights. They just weren't able to cope 38 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: with the pink ball under the lights late on Saturday 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: and fell over the little bit of resistance from Stokes 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: et Ce yesterday but it was inevitable really, and Australia 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: two knel up in a five Test series I'll tell 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: you what. It would take an absolute miracle now for 43 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: England to get back into it. I mean they're not 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 2: done and dusted, but almost When. 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: Was the last time So we had to adelaide next Wednesday. 46 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: When was the last time that the ashes were sewing 47 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: up the side of Christmas? 48 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I had to go back in the record books. 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 2: It's been dominant. I think a lot of people felt 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: that England were going to be dominant in the series. 51 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: They said, and you've got a great batting lineup, but 52 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: they haven't fired. And Mitchell Stark has been a huge 53 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: difference as well. He has been absolutely dominant with the 54 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: ball for Australia. So it's not looking at all good 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: for England. 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: Well, talking firing, what about the West Indies out of 57 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: christ Church When we spoke Friday, they were pretty much 58 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: dead and buried and then hello, yeah, no remarkable performance. 59 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: A combination of the fact that we ran out of 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: bowlers and they've added well when they got a century 61 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: out of Guy Greaves or Graves, they've got one hundred 62 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: out of Hope and we simply couldn't bowl them out. 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: I mean the pit's flat and ride out quite clearly. 64 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 2: But we've all got to dust ourselves off and get 65 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: going again on Wednesday because that's when the second Test 66 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: starts here in Wellington. 67 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: A lot of walking wounded. I hear that Matt Henry 68 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: and Mason Smiths are already unlikely to feature. They're talking 69 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: about this uncapped Canary seamer Michael Ray. That's a bit 70 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: of a concern. 71 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a huge concern. I think Bleair Tickna comes in. 72 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: He was in the squad for the first Test match. 73 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: But you've also got to be concerned about the workload 74 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: that Duffy and folks had in that Test match and 75 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: how Bail bounce back. So a lot of interesting points 76 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: around the 77 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: Test Wednesday and Wellington bring it on.
