1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Hey Lace, Hey Clery, the West Test. The day has arrived.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 2: This is the summer of cricket, beginning of the big series.

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely Australia. First day of Australia v Pakistan in Perth

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: today at the stadium and of course the West Test

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: is here. And a former Australian and New South Wales

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: fast baller who's now part of the seven commentary team,

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: Trent Coaslin, joins us. Trent, Good morning mate, how are

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: you morning?

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: Guys started Betje humped.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 4: It is the first Test of the summer. Have you

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 4: seen the pitch? How's it looking?

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: I am looking at the pitch from our little area,

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: our media area from the stadium right now, and it

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: looks like it's got a nice coverage of grass. It

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: should be great fun to watch.

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: Fast and bounty so right well to.

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: The Australians, but there's a few to watch out for

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: in the Pakistan team too that are genuinely the elite

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: of the elite. So I'm really looking forward to this.

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: Would like to name me Yeah, Baba's arm with the bat.

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: I think across all formats he is one of the

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: best players in the world. And then Shaheen Afreedi left

23
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 3: arm fast bowler. I think Mitchell Stark, Mitchell Johnson over

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: the years. This is what we're going to get from

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: Shaheen is he is so good to watch and he

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: so often takes wigets in the first.

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: Over, so which is like, yeah, absolutely, it's hard to

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: get into this Australian bowling lineup mate with, especially with

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: the quick doing their thing. But Lance Morris would love

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: to have the wild thing from way in there. But

31
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: he's relying on someone to get injured, isn't he with

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: that incredible lineup.

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: Yes, And I can speak from experience having faced Lance

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: over the years in domestic cricket. It's not fun. It's

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: not fun at all facing one hundred and fifty ks

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: an hour. But he's he's a beautiful man, he's a

37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: fast bowler and he is undoubtedly on his way to

38
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: playing for Australia from all reports that two days leading

39
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 3: up in training he was hitting blokes left, right and center.

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: So there's certainly the prospect there when any opportunity arises,

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: whether it's sauna or an injury, I think he's going

42
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: to be at the top of the queue and it's

43
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: exciting when someone like that. I can't remember the anticipation

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: being so big since Brett Lee David And Okay, yeah,

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: that's a great over here in the West.

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to face a tennis ball at that speed,

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: let alone a cricket, but just.

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: The thought of it is terrible.

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 4: Exactly now, Nathan Lyon, he returns to the side after

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 4: injuring his calf during the Ashes. He needs four wickets

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: to become the only only the third Australian to reach

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 4: five hundred wickets.

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: Do you think it could happen here?

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: Well, there's two ways that this girl. I think Australia's

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: fastballers could be so good that he doesn't even get

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: a chance to bowl, or he gets a chance to

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: really settle in and go to work. And I think

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: if he gets a chance to bowl prolonged overs, I

59
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: think he'll absolutely do it at this Test match. He

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: loves the far bouncy wickets. Yeah, and look what an

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: amazing story. I mean, finally enough we debuted in the

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: same pat to Yeah, inca, it's fair to say our

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: careers have gone on different trajectories. But I really stoke

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: for him. He's just a humble country guy. First time

65
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 3: he's really ever been injured when he missed those Ashes tests,

66
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: so he's stinging to get back out there, and I

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: think he'll be really, really pleased to bring out that milestone.

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: It's a massive one.

69
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Watching him walk out to bat in the Ashes was

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: gutsy and ridiculous. We're all feeling he's pain, weren't we?

71
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: It was crazy, Yeah, I.

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: Mean, and that's to his credit. He would have been

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: slinging a few sledges that the English walked out and

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: even his own teammates all right, you boke, So the

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: bowling and I'll have to do the leg pretty much.

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: The Travis Head being named vice co captain along with

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: Steve Smith is as a sign of things to come.

78
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Can you see him as the future haptain?

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the performance is the last eighteen months,

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: two years in particular. I mean he's been player of

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: the matching basically every big game or every big series,

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: he's been the player of the series. You know, I

83
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: think Ashes at Home, World Test Championship, all of those

84
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: sort of things, and now the World Cup finals. So look,

85
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: my honest answer is yes, I think it is inside

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: of things to come. I don't think Pat Cummons is

87
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: going anywhere though, it's maybe a look to a few

88
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: years away or in the event that someone like Pat

89
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: had to miss a Test match with injury or load management.

90
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: So look, it's I think it's exciting. And what about

91
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 3: the cult figure that he's become, that the celebrations. Imagine

92
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: him then being the captain of the country. I'd like

93
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: to see him do the toss with that famous both

94
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: hands out and.

95
00:04:53,200 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 4: Celebrating Travis heads or tails early for that prepared earlier,

96
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 4: I mean that catching the World Cup, Travis.

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: Those things win World caps, don't they. It was so

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: imprecious with matches they do.

99
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And to be honest, if you ask Travis himself

100
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: what would be your weakest point of your game, and

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: particularly probably five years ago, he would say he's feeling.

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: So you know, this is a guy that isn't the

103
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: elite standard I guess for Australia, but he's the guy

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: that was in tune with the moment. I thought in

105
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: that World Cup early phase of the tournament, we were

106
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: missing balls on the ground, we were dropping catches. I

107
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: feel like it's a barometer of how the team's tracking

108
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: generally speaking. That was a really good piece of evidence

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: to say this group is on and they're all going

110
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: together and it was great moment. And then he went

111
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 3: out there with the bat and just smacked them around

112
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: all parts. It was remarkable watching one hundred and ten

113
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: thousand Indian fans wearing all the same Yeah, absolutely silent.

114
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: That moment when Yeah, and when Collie got out as well,

115
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: they could not believe. It was disbelief, but we won.

116
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Well.

117
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: The coverage of the first Test, the West Test, Australia

118
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: v Pakistan, begins at nine point thirty this morning on

119
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: Channel seven and we know that you are indeed very

120
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: busy between now and that kickoff.

121
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Will bowl off for what is what do you call it?

122
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: It's the first cricket first ball of the series.

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

124
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: First of all, all right, much Trent on the later.

125
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: Bye Trent Copelin, Who's what about? Pulled the pin on
