WEBVTT - "Catches Win Matches" 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.320 Life for the Export Beer Garden Studios and brought to 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:04.560 you is always by Export Ultra the beer for here. 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.680 This is the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the second of December. 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:13.000 The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap, 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.360 brought to you by Export of Culture. 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.079 I can I believe it's December already. 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:21.040 I know, but it's the official month where you kick 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.159 everything to twenty five. Yeah, yeah, November. People would go 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:26.960 a bit of a lazy ass, an't you, But it's December, 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:27.840 the holy legit. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.040 Everything being punted to do next year. I think we 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.319 need to start this podcast by recapping that match. We 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.239 need to go over it, we need to readdress it. 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.720 We lost by eight wickets in a day and a 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:41.960 half basically, but. 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.640 That was irrelevant. I think that was inevitable that was 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.320 going to happen. Ever since the first England's first innings. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.479 Almost it would almost it was almost written in the 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:51.720 stars that we're blindet. 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.040 Yeah, No one hundred and I think the big headline 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:59.960 that everyone's talking about is catches win matches eight drop 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.399 catches in England's first innings. Here is what they sounded like. 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:10.440 Smith into Brook slashed drop dropped at gully and it's 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.960 glean Phillips. Is this drop gonna cost them? And comes 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:18.880 Smith full slip and go again. Oh dropped at first 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.840 slip by Latham. Then comes Phillips quicker and that's in 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.920 the air. Come on, is it a chance down at 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:30.039 deep midwicket? The man in god, oh my god, Devin 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.000 Conway was coming round from deep square leg and he's 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.240 dropped brooke again. Then comes Smith and he leans back 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:43.759 and lashes it. Another drop down Latham drops is another 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.920 one that covers. It's his third catches dropped today. The 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.760 captain he's got the drop, sees and it's edged and 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:54.080 drop again. God to clean Phillips at gully and that 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.280 was even simpler than his first catches. Drop chalk it 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.800 up number seven and. 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.000 Harry Brook is open laughing because this is comical. 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.120 This is a clown show. Fucking hour. It was you 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.560 could tell by just oh my god, not again, Oh my, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:10.320 not again. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.680 There's shades of the acc eleven when we dropped fifteen catches. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:20.400 In one match. Well some say eleven were grassed fifteen opportunities. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.320 The thing the difference with that that Jeremy Wells pointed 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.200 out this morning on Haydaki was we didn't actually take 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.440 any other catch. That's what made that so as such 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.880 an anomaly. Yeah, we actually caught nothing at all. Eventually, 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.040 the black Caps did take their catches, so yeah, they 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.560 took a few. Yeah, they took a few, whereas we didn't. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:40.320 No one caught anything. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:41.720 We didn't take any There was a guy in the 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.000 NBA the other day who scored about thirty points. He 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.639 didn't miss a single shot, and didn't miss a free throw, 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.720 didn't miss a shot from the field, He didn't turn 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.000 the ball over once. It was like an NBA record, 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.720 never been done before. That's like a clean sheet. Yeah, 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.440 it's like it was a triple double as well. So 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.160 triple double, no turnovers, no missshots. Oh man, the perfect game. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.680 You retire, Yeah, you would. That's basically what we did. 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.799 This was a little bit different because there were a 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.079 few drops. Man, at one point England brings my heart 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.520 to pour back over the numbers, but we will. At 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.560 one point England was seventy for four. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.560 And that was when he was I think Brook was dropped. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.640 Yes, I think around then Mitchell sorry Phillips, the first 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.000 drop of the eight and that English first and nings 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.320 Brook dropped five times. First of those, he was on 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.040 about thirty runs. So in theory because he went on 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.720 to score one hundred and seventy that's one hundred and 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:34.519 forty prevented. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.800 Yeah, in theory, and I mean I would be no 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.840 more upset. I heard that Matt Henry went up and 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.160 apologized to Oli Pope at the end of the day's play. 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.960 At the end of day two, was it because he 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.200 was the only he got out to that stunning catch 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.560 by Glenn Phillips at Gully And he was like, you 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.800 are the unluckiest guy on this field because that was 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.080 one of the catches of the century and everyone else 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.320 dropped them and the only one's laced it and got out. 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.440 Well, that's a great point. He rose Latham and Phillips 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.480 account of the six of our eight drop catches. And 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.760 I saw someone on Instagram, probably on TikTok, but then 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.520 found this way to my Instagram reels because I'm thirty 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.599 three years old, saying that Glenn Phillips is not a 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.880 great taker of catches, but a taker of great catches. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.599 So he drops the easy one and then he will 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.560 take the absolute screamer. 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.760 Because he's taken some of the greatest catches. You'll see 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.159 it there in that gully position like that, that kind 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.360 of there's a very familiar kind of dive he does 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.599 where he displays all limbs, yeah, into the star fashion 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.679 and then somehow sticks into that right hand. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:42.360 Yeah. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.239 There's Someone asked the most outrageous question at the press 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.279 conference of Lathan. Yeah, and you know what this was about. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.400 They said, do you think it has anything to do 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.480 with the sightlines and catching it a hagar waizing to 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.120 do with the botanical gardens? 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:57.760 What? 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.400 But you can't see the botanical gardens field? 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.360 But is it the pollen? Is the pollen in your 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.520 eyes making you sneeze? Well? 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.680 Were they spending too much of their time before the 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.000 game down there at the. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.400 Botanical gard doesn't make sense that whoever asked that question, 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.200 who dno brought that up. It's like you're you're really 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.760 scraping the bottom of the barrel of excuses apart from 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.600 just dumb luck that you just grasped all those chances. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.280 I reckon it was a journo who doesn't follow cricket 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.160 in anyway, and they was like, I don't know the 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.599 fuck asking about there? What's the sport again like they 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:32.560 dropped heap to catches. 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.799 Maybe they lost it in the flowers. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.760 Was it the bowtans? Perhaps? 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.040 So you can't see it if you stand in the 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.360 middle of hegy oval as the crow flies. The gardens 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.559 are what maybe a kilometer away, five hundred meters away. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.400 You can't see them from the top of the embankment. No, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.360 you couldn't see them from the commentary booth. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.400 I would blame all the Hawaiian shirts were there that 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.600 were there worn by middle aged men on dress up day. 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.520 Potentially, yes, if you weren't listening to the commentary. We 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.680 sit in over under market at six point five boomers 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.080 and Hawaiian shirts smashed within a couple of hours. That 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:07.360 was absolutely obliterated. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.680 Well, that's stress, that's stress ups, that is boom for boomers. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.960 It's like put a hard case Hawaiian shirt on and 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:13.479 go to the cricket. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.760 He's a laughing look at his Dave, our Dave again 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.479 he's got the buddy. Oh god, you know it's a 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.200 laugh and Dave busts out the bloody Hawaiian shirt in 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.880 christ shirts. For God's sake, you know, he wears that 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.440 thing in Fiji once a year. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.960 Totally. There was some good There was some good comedy 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.159 betting going on. Actually, we got people asking how many 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.680 helicopter drops from the Adventure Mountain Bike Park would come 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.680 in because the hospitals right next to Hegley Oval and 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.360 the landing pad is pretty much on Hegley Oval, so 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.320 you often hear that the risky helicopter come in. And 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.840 on day two I think we had four and it 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:48.560 was on a Friday. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.479 And then on day three we set the over under 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.200 at four and a half and actually think it came under. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:52.760 Yes it did. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:53.680 I think we had four. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.920 No, No, we had three one one very last minute, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.320 but we since we found later the Mountain Bike Park 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.960 closed at five. Yeah, game wing onto six thirty, so 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.560 we I don't know if we we didn't go in 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.400 with the best amount of intel on that one. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.960 No, but we did have a couple of people who 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.880 were willing to sacrifice themselves in order to try and 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.920 make that bet come right. Because we have people call 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.320 again saying, look, I'm going for a dive just off 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.960 the coast of cal Coda there and I'll probably be 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.600 ready for a pack up in about half an hour. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.240 So if you could get the chopper up now, and 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.760 we were saying, yeah, just if you find him in 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.080 an airs dround, just make sure your stuff whatever he's 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.760 caught into the life jacket, into the you know whatever, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.680 and then bring that all back with you. But unfortunately 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.000 that comedy bit didn't come in either. One of the 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.240 other questions that was asked of Tom Latham was is 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.200 it something that you need to work on the catching? 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.280 And he said, I don't think it's something that requires 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:50.680 any extra work. Do you agree with Tom Latham supplementary 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.720 question if it does require work, what work could they 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.440 possibly do in the next four days? 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.760 Well, there's rumors that the pantsman Joel Harrison as their 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.320 fielding coach because he was responsible for half hour drop 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.640 catches in the ACC. I don't think you can never 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.720 do too much work. No, in terms of catching practice. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.440 But I don't think there's a drill they're going to 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.080 do between now and the next game that's going to 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:14.040 no sort it. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.080 No, But I mean we're not this is we're not 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.840 bad fielders like that. All the people that drop there 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:24.320 are usually very capable. Latham and Phillips in particular, Yes, 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.120 Conway is usually a safe pair of hands, and he 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:27.920 grasped one. 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.000 So even Blundelle was having a mirror behind the stuff. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.120 Yes, he missed that one that caught behind on the 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.600 leg side. It just pinged off his fingers. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.520 Yeah, what did you put it down to? 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.559 I don't know. I know they'll be asking the same question. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.360 And I read and Dylan Cleaver's bounce. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.920 He's just like, I think, it's just. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.839 Just one of those things. It's just dumb luck, it's 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:53.079 just unlucky. But the unlucky streak that just compiled eight 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.360 in a row as opposed to any sort of skill issue. 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:01.320 Well, I think after so Latham dropped I think three, yes, 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.320 which means Phillips must have dropped three as well. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.439 Yes, and then Conway and Blundell. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:12.120 Once you've dropped two, you're never catching that third one. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.720 I reckon, I reckon, you're just done by that stage. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.280 I reckon. And I think the only one that you know, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.520 Phillips took that screamer, but that was just like reflex. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.280 That was like hitting his heading your knee with the hammer. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.440 Well, Lathan also he took a catch in the end 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.120 at second slip. He actually yeah, he took one, and 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.880 they bet they replayed it over and over again to 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.080 see where there has touched the grass. Oh, yes, so 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.760 he did, mate, he did right, he did right. The 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.320 ship a little bit ish, but I don't know. They 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.840 just just one of those things that it was tough 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.720 to watch as a banned because you knew they were 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.640 better than that. I guarantee any catching drills they do 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.560 between now and the basin, they will catch ninety nine 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.559 point nine percent of those catches easily. Yeah, a couple 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.040 I think a couple blasted just over the head of 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.640 Darryl Mitchell and Saudi I think got one blasted through 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.480 his hands as well, kind of mid short mid wicket. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:03.600 Just nothing went to hand. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.560 No, is it another side effect of Bear's ball, because 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.160 it's just one of those things where they're slashing at everything. 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.439 So there's gonna be more catch opportunities, more half catch opportunities, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.600 more drop catches, and then you're gonna drop lip in 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.040 the field. 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.520 Yeah, I think you bang on because they do do that. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.319 They go hard at the ball and it flies. I've 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.480 ever seen so many boundaries basically over the keeper's head. Yeah, 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.559 And it's funny because the English have an interesting field 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.920 technic where they have a backstop and he took a catch. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.760 He got Daryl Mitchell out in the first innings where 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.880 Daryl Mitchell went for the pull shot and descuided it 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.800 straight up in the ear. They had a guy behind 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.720 the keeper who took the catch. They had a backstop, Yeah, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.679 they had a backstop, but they're in a catching position 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.360 because you can't have where he was slightly on the 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.840 on the off side, because you can't have more than 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.320 three behind square on the leg. So it's quite clear 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.920 as a rule. Yeah, as a rule, that's after bodyline. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.080 So after bodyline. They brought that in because all they 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.240 did was stack at left side, bold the arm and 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.520 just wait for someone to So it's quite a clear 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.360 way of doing it because it's a backstop. But it's 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.120 still there on the hook shot for the top edge. Yeah, 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.040 so it's still in a catching position. So you bears, Yeah, no, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.040 dummy when it comes to this. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.920 Kind of that is smart and innovative. But even as 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.720 a grown man, you couldn't. You couldn't stand at backstop 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:18.720 like directly behind the work. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:21.880 You have to go I'm at fly slip. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.800 Yeah, that's right, because otherwise if you keep it folly 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.440 pup turns and it's all right, I get that. I'm 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.440 not the usual keeper. I'm not that fucking no, no, no, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.320 it's not for that, it's for it's for this. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:32.800 I thought. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.040 Darrel Mitchell gave a good account of himself. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.480 Yeah, yeah he did. I mean, like, yeah, he did. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.960 His real grafter, isn't he. There's nothing pretty about him. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.280 He just grinds it out. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.559 Workman like. The only the only bit of Fleaar is 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.119 the reverse sweep, which drives boomers into conniptions. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.240 Oh my god. And Mike Minaga, no, he listens. He 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.120 drives him fucking crazy. He I get I get bombarded 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.240 with messages every goes. What are you saying? It would 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.440 just say, pot it away, Minchell. It's just it drives 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.920 him insane. If you wanted to make him crazy, get 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.040 a compilation of Daryl Mitchell's reverse sweeps and play it 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.000 to Mike Minogue and he'll he'll flip. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.679 But how many times he got out to the reverse sweep. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.760 A few times? That's what drives him crazy. 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.080 You've got to do something, though. You can't just be reactive, 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.840 you know, And look, take it to the ball. He 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.080 plays that shot quite well. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.400 He got it out a few times, and then it worked, 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.720 but it's just when it goes wrong, people were ready 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:23.319 with the knives. 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.240 Yeah, it's an easy one to point to if it 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.520 goes wrong, but fuck when it comes off, and if 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.800 you're doing it often enough, they have to put a 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.960 fielder there, you know. So it's a way of you, 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.840 as a better dictating the field a little bit. Yeah, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.080 but when it goes bad, it looks very very bad. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.600 Renders all right, the sixy camera. We've been talking about 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.560 him a lot. This is his farewell tour, not the 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.400 result he's looking for. But you could tell once he 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.480 went out there to beat he was just like, fuck it, Yeah, 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:49.040 I'm here. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.560 He always that's consistent. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.120 Yeah, that's right, that's what he's always done. He's like, look, 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.160 I'm not a great better, so I might as well 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.000 go for as many six as I possibly can. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.720 He can hit the ball. He's got a good eye. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.240 Yeah so, and he can hit a big ball. Great slog. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.199 Absolutely, he is, as we said the other day, sixth 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.880 in Test sixs. He is now on ninety five eight, 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.640 two of them in this most recent innings. So he's 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:16.840 got three sorry, two more games in thiry four more innings, Yes, 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.520 to hit five more sixers to crack the ton. If 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.560 he does that, that will vault him over Jacques Kalis 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.200 who was just above him. Chris Gaale is on ninety eight, 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.440 Adam Gilchrist is on one hundred, and then if South 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.400 they can do one hundred, he'll be tired with Gilchrist, 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.959 McCullum one oh seven, Ben Stokes one hundred and thirty one. 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.640 Yeah, well we could see evidence of that when Stokes 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.760 was playing it in the weekend. He goes big so 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:48.240 something about that the coach captain combo here. I can't 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.839 see why they play basball and you've got McCullum one 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.199 hundred and seven six Test sixes and your captain is 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.599 the only one ahead of you one hundred and thirty one. Yeah, 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.920 when is that combination going to go? I reckon, we 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.160 should just pump the brakes here, guys. Yeah, that's just 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.320 shut up shop. A lot of carpet balls just worked 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.280 the ones in two. So it's not coming out of 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.120 those guys. Because people in the change room the game, 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.880 what are you talking about? Bullshit? That would be great 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.640 for Saudi. I mean he's in pretty good company. He's 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.800 like he's ahead of Lara Rowitt, Sharma, Nda saywag, that's 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.280 a great stat. I've said it before, get wickets hit sixes, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.000 knowing there's nothing more straight up than that. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.120 We mention wickets. He has set first in wickets taken 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.400 for a black Cap overall. That's an all formats combined. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.480 I think that's by virtue of the fact that when 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.280 he started playing was when T twenties started. Yes, and 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.840 so he's played more games than anyone else but seven 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.000 hundred and seventy two. Vitries second on six ninety six. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.320 So it's going to take it's going to take quite 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:44.000 a bit to beat that. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.200 I can't see anyone beating that. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.440 Because he came into the team at what eighteen. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.400 Yeah, nineteen and yeah, and he played. He's played a 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.000 lot of Test cricket and a lot of one days. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.280 People coming in now they'll play a lot of T twenties, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.360 but they'll also leave the national team earlier, like the 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.560 likes of Ferguson and a Milm, to go and make 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.960 money elsewhere. So I don't I'm going to this is 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.800 a hot take that'll never be beaten. Wow, seven seventy 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.240 two in terms of wickets for New Zealand as a 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.480 Black Cap Yep, that won't be beaten because I don't 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:17.880 think people will play that long. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.640 No, I agree with you. What about second and test 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.360 workts he's on three eighty seven. I don't think he's 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:25.920 going to hit the four hundred unfortunately. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.320 How I mean, if he did, that would be magnificent. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.040 Thirteen wickets and I mean, look we've done in one game. Ye, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.120 the way he was he did look very kind of 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.520 saudy of the last eighteen months there. It was a 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.160 little bit of something something for him, and he beat 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.280 the outside of edge quite a lot. Yep, But I 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.320 must submit old Nathan Smith looked good. There's something about him. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.480 He's got a terrible noball issue. That's excitement. 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.760 That's a bit. Yeah, that's obviously him pushing too hard, 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.800 and he said he was too excited, But there's something 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.800 about him. He was creating chances and the amount of 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.920 mishits that came off him and that drop catches that 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:01.800 came off from unfortunate. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.320 He should have had a five f He should have 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.480 had a five for his Yeah, he should be spewing 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.680 for his stats there because he should have had so 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.600 much more than that. And I think anyone that watched 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.360 it if you just looked at the stats, he'd be like, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.000 oh yeah, when right got two wickets, I think, but 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.840 when you watched him actually bowl, it was impressive. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.200 He looks the goods, yeah, and he's got a mullet 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.880 and the mo it look good and he's so the 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.920 next game is I mean, we'll talk about Previy the 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.480 next game and later on the week, but the rumor 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.360 is that it's going to be a decision between getting 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.720 Satna in the team potentially a pitch that turns a 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.320 bit and Wellington I did last year. Anyway, who does 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.320 he come in for? And most of the punnets are 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.400 saying the other comes in for Saudi or Smith? Now Smith, 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.800 this is his home track. He's played a shit ton 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.640 of domestic cricket on this pitch, and then in this 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:54.320 ground does he come in for the hometown farewell tour 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.880 of Saudi? So this is this is a decision for 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:02.920 Steady to make along with Latham, and yeah, it's going 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.119 to be an interesting decision. I don't see see how 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.320 they not playing in Hamilton, No, but I potentially see 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:09.240 him not playing in this one. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.960 I was gonna say, you couldn't not play him, surely. 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.200 Well, now that'll do you know what, You're right, We're 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.840 not in the Test Championship anymore, right, what are we 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:19.360 playing for? 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.640 Yeah, but after what they did the Wags, I could 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.640 see it. Oh bloody drop them. Someone would get injured. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.480 There'll be fielding all day. That's what will happen. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.840 Oh no, they can't repeat the Wags situation. That should 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.760 be an a manual on how not to farewell, a 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:35.600 legend of the game. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.440 It's a national shame. Yeah, that is a national shape. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.760 I think that's what's gonna happen. Also, Will Young? Will 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.160 he get back in again? We could have done with him. Yeah, 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:43.719 Well that's the thing. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.520 Where do we put Will Young? We do we? I 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.359 mean Blundelle's under pressure. Do we put Will Young in 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.040 there and give Latham the gloves? But then it's that 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.919 too much opening the betting gloves and captning. That is 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.000 a ship ton on one person. Yeah. 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.240 Well, and again, if you put the gloves on someone 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.359 like Phillips, now you've taken a bowling option. 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.280 He doesn't want them, he doesn't want that out, he 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.399 doesn't want them. Conway, he's not He is a T 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:11.800 twenty kind of makeshift keeper. So you've got no choice. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.840 Bundel's it. You can't be coming in with a you 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:19.119 can't give later any more responsibilities. You can't. You can't 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:24.120 battle day keep all day. That's too much. That's back 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.440 the victory era when he was captain, coach and manager. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.399 I heard he drove the bus to the airport pretty much. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.560
