15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Now we're just going to get straight into it. What

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: is with the hair? What is with the hair?

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: I've done a few times throughout the Big Bash over

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: the years, and I think when I initially started doing it,

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: I just thought back to when I was a young

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: a young up and comer starting out in my career

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: with Victoria and sort of local and premier cricket with Dean.

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: I had the bleached hair as a youngster, and I'm like,

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: why not bring it back? And I probably thought initially

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: I was bringing it back because I was close to retiring,

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: and that was about six or seven years ago and

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: here we are again, still going with it.

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I like the blonde.

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Most of our audience probably won't remember Billy id or

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: where you say you're looking at a little Billy idle

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: about you coming into bowl at the MCG. Yeah, it

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: feels I don't know, is it making your bowl quick

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: because you're bowling rockets?

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to that's the plan. I think after

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: last year. You know, I probably surprised myself a little

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: there and I was like, I can't just come back

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: this year and just be mediocre and not do that again.

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, a lot of preparation and effort the in

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: the off season that I had to prepare and be

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: ready to be able to do that.

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: So it was exciting. It was exciting just to get

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: back out in the field.

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: Obviously been semi retired, but yeah, it was nice to

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: get out there, get stuck in and have a bit

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: of fun.

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Are you forty one You've been playing first class cricket

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: where you were playing first class cricket twenty years ago.

47
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: You're not meant to be doing this. You're going sort

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: of loaded mid one forties. That's not meant to happen

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: at forty one sids.

50
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not meant to.

51
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: But I think it's always always been a fighter, and

52
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to push myself whatever level I've played

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: and whatever format, And I think, yeah, like I said,

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: last year, I tried a few different things because I

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: wanted to impress in the Big Bash. I wasn't part

56
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: of last year's Big Bash until real late, so I

57
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: was like, I have to do something different to show

58
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: people that I can still compete. And then yeah, that's

59
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: where the pace came about. And I think I surprised

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: a lot of people with that. So yeah, obviously signing

61
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: the extension and getting to come around again, knowing that

62
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: I wasn't playing professional cricket anymore, I had to do

63
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: something different. I had to prepare differently to make sure

64
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: that I was ready to go. I've always said that

65
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: I yess, I'm playing at my age, but I don't

66
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: want to take someone else's spot unless I's warranted with performances.

67
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 2: And that's fine because we don't want to be given

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: out free hats.

69
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: But oh yeah, I just wanted to make sure that

70
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: I was ready to go, and I think, yeah, last

71
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 3: night was It's only the start, but it's a good,

72
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: yeah representation of what I've put in over the last

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: few months to be ready for that first game, but

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: ready for the whole tournament.

75
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was nice to get that first one

76
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: out of the way.

77
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: So what have you done, because you haven't been playing

78
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: cricket and so what have you done to be able

79
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: to keep your speeds up, your fitness up, those sorts

80
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: of things.

81
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it gave.

82
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: I think the big one that I actually tell everyone

83
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: is the fact that I don't have to prepare and

84
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: bowl forty overs a week in preparation.

85
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: For a shield game.

86
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: I only have to prepare to bowl twenty four balls,

87
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: So in theory, it's only you know, it's only two

88
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: hundred odd balls plus maybe finals at the end that

89
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: I have to be ready to bowl. So yeah, I

90
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: had this thing in my mind that I wanted to

91
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: train like a sprinter. I've always had a nice run

92
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: up and efficient, I want to be better at that.

93
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: And then it was about working to be stronger at

94
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: the crease.

95
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: How can I stand running in faster and hitting the

96
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: crease and being strong. So yeah, that was pretty much

97
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: the little brief that I gave the essency at Kruga

98
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: Victoria Joel Tratton, and I said to him, yeah, let's

99
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: let's let's do something different. Let's train a bit differently

100
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: than we probably would in the past. So yeah, yeah,

101
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: individualized training me just him and I do my own

102
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: stuff around the sort of VIC setup that I've been

103
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: helping out and bowling a bit with them, and yeah,

104
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: it's give me a bit of a buzz. I think

105
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: just you know, over the years it's just the same

106
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: old training. But to do something different is definitely, yeah,

107
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: maybe work that little bit harder. And who knows if

108
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 3: it was ever going to work, but I think it

109
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: was about having something in place that I could challenge

110
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: myself with and probably keep me focused. Whether it works

111
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: or not, who knows, But like I said to him

112
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: at the start, I said, even if we can just

113
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: help a little one percent, I'm a little bit more

114
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: efficient in my run up, a little bit stronger at

115
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: the crease, and I can hold that pace more consistently

116
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: throughout a whole match rather than just you know, one

117
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: fastball and then you know, you sort of tapering off

118
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: a bit.

119
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 2: And I think, yeah, last night was a good start.

120
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: Who knows what the max speed might be at the

121
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 3: end of the end of the thing, but it's not

122
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: about that. I think it's just about the efficiency and

123
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: consistency throughout. And yeah, like I said, it was a

124
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: bit nerve racking last night, but it was nice to

125
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: get down of the way and you know, just yeah,

126
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: see how all that work has paid off.

127
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Have you surprised yourself in what you are actually doing?

128
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a little bit.

129
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: Like I've always backed my own ability and skills and

130
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: knowing how hard I do work. But like I said,

131
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: over the years, it's sort of like it becomes a

132
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: little bit you know, structured as the same old stuff

133
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: over and over and over, and I probably, yeah, I

134
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 3: haven't had opportunities as much as I have this period

135
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: to you know, focus specifically on something.

136
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: Real, little and small.

137
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: Yes, it's going to help me great in the long

138
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: In the long run, But.

139
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't had that period.

140
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: I haven't had that time where I could bowl less,

141
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: as weird as that sounds, and I'm backing my skill

142
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 3: and my preparation over the years to focus more on

143
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: the yeah, the fitness, getting the body right and and

144
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: the and the gym work. And it's been nice to

145
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: do something different and see the change. And who knows

146
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: it could be it could be a little idea of

147
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: how it is to go about and franchise cricket four bowlers.

148
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: I think a lot of batters play it, but yeah,

149
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: it might be a little blueprint that who knows. We'll

150
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: see how it goes and how the planning. But yeah,

151
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: the training side of things has been a hell of

152
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: a lot of fun.

153
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: One last one I knew before we started to talk

154
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: more broadly about the stars. I remember talking to you

155
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: about this last year that it was almost said, well,

156
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to play this year, so it's been

157
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: a bit of a bonus and bonus time. It can

158
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: kind of relax a little bit. I wasn't expecting to

159
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: play this time round. Is it is it different again?

160
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Mentally because it's kind of like, this isn't bonus time.

161
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: This has been locked in for quite some time.

162
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this time it's been Yeah, that's probably

163
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 3: why there was so much nerves last night.

164
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: I've never been that nervous before games, but last night

165
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: I was.

166
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Playing for Test Cricket.

167
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

168
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: I backed my preparation and skills and I knew if

169
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: that was right, and I've done everything I could the games.

170
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: The games are fine, because you know, that's that second

171
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: guess and that I should have done this, I should

172
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: have done that after the game that that's the one

173
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: that hurts you the most, not so much the performance.

174
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, this.

175
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: Time knowing that my last pretty much real serious professional

176
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: game was what the game I retired the first class

177
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: game back in March in Perth. So that's a long

178
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: time to play a real serious you know, where it's

179
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: on the line and you've got to step up.

180
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I think the nerves last night they

181
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: were real.

182
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: And so that's when I say, like I said I've

183
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 3: said a few times, is just to get that first

184
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: game out of the way, But now, yeah, I do

185
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: have to perform.

186
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: I extended that contract before the end of the season.

187
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: I knew it was going to come about and I

188
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: think hence why I think I've focused so much on

189
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: what can I do differently. I know in the short

190
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: period that I had last year to get my pace

191
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: up and going what I did, but I'm like, how

192
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: can it look if I do it over a couple

193
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 3: of months of preparation.

194
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: Rather than just a couple of weeks. And that was that.

195
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: Like I said, that's that's been as much fun as

196
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: the as the as the lead in the last couple

197
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: of days is the preparation, the work I've done with him.

198
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: I haven't discussed it much with a lot of people,

199
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: so it's it's yeah, the boys have been seeing me

200
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 3: do it, but yeah, just having something specific the chase

201
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: has been a good motivator. And I think last night

202
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: even after game, just to obviously Maresey had been hearing

203
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: about it, for him to see it and just give

204
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 3: you that pad on the back that about just being

205
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: prepared and ready to go and just having a little

206
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: word with Joel after the game, it was, Yeah, it

207
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: was pretty special.

208
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: The first year before year contract. You're doing well, so

209
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: the Melbourne Stars. It's been a real focus on starting

210
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: this season well after what had happened last year, but

211
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: also the way you finished to try and carry the

212
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: momentum into the new year. How important was it getting

213
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: that early season win massive?

214
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, we spoke a lot about last year

215
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: the start and how hard that was on us, but

216
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 3: then how to turn it around and the momentum that

217
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: we gained from that. But I think we've got some

218
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: good learnings at the end of last season of what

219
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 3: helped us change where we're at as a team and

220
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: how that helped us go forward at the back half

221
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: there so we had a bit of a head start

222
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: and how we could go about it this time and

223
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: starting a bit later.

224
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 2: Last year h been that first game.

225
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: It makes it hard for everyone to come together and

226
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: then bang your playing, whereas this time, having a little

227
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: bit longer, those few extra days be around each other,

228
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: a few training sessions together, even just the jelling.

229
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: Just spend a time as a group has definitely helped.

230
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 3: And that with the focus on probably being a bit

231
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 3: more clearer and the plans for individuals is what we

232
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: found last year worked well for us at the back half. Yeah,

233
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: I think last night was a good example of that.

234
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: I think the way we went about it with the ball,

235
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: everyone stood up at their opportunity.

236
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: They were ready to go.

237
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 3: We've got lots of bowling options, so yeah, the boys

238
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 3: when it was their time to shine, they could stand up.

239
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 3: And yeah, then the batdole clinical. I think, you know,

240
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: obviously storing the captain got that done. But yeah, to

241
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: see campb will come in play his way at the

242
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: start and then you know, get a bit of adventurous

243
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: near the end.

244
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: Was Yeah, it was obviously great science for us as

245
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: a team.

246
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I asked you this question last year.

247
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: But the whole thing about playing for the Melbourne Stars

248
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: and the pressure especially, I think it's increased again now

249
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes have got the title and now the Stars

250
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: are the only team that haven't. Is it something that

251
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: you talk about and try and not embrace that pressure,

252
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: but don't make it the elephant in the room, or

253
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: is it something you can just push to the side

254
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: and say that we're just focusing on moving ahead, looking ahead.

255
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: I think it always pops up. I think that last night.

256
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: I remember sitting in the rooms when going out the

257
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: bat and yeah.

258
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: Kept popping up.

259
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: They popped up fair a few times in the footage

260
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: the results and who's won it?

261
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: How many times kept coming up on the screen.

262
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: So there's always little giggle and chuckle, but Mores has

263
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: always put it perfectly to the group, and it's it's

264
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: more just around how special it would be to be

265
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: the first people to do it for the team. And

266
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: I'm lucky enough that that was me and Adelaide when

267
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: we won it for the first time. I was a

268
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: part of that first group, And and I think that's

269
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 3: the good thing to strive for. Like as much, yes,

270
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 3: you want to win it, and to do that, you've

271
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: got to be the first people. But yeah, it's nice

272
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: to think of that as a group, not just like

273
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: as oh, yeah, we want to win it, but it's like, yeah,

274
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 3: win it with this group of boys like that we

275
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: have a lot of fun with We love being around

276
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: each other, and we have a hell of a lot

277
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: of fun out in the field. So yeah, just that

278
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: that little thing is that's it's a nice way to

279
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: think about it that yeah, gee, if we do win it,

280
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: it's it's not our second or our third, it's you know,

281
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: you're part of history and the first one for the organization.

282
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: So it's a good little thing to strive for and

283
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: a good thing to think of as a as a

284
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: whole and as a strong group and trying to stay together.

285
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: For that, he intrigues me.

286
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: Peter Moores, he's great to talk to about cricket. He's

287
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: had recent success with what he was able to do

288
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: over in the UK in the season. Just finished talk

289
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: to us about what he's like, because it feels to

290
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: me he's more a mental preparer rather than a physical prepare,

291
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: getting you guys into the right headspace to play, giving

292
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: your confidence to play. Is that a fair observation, Yeah,

293
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: it is.

294
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: He's a little bit of everything.

295
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, he's obviously that wise man, that's the

296
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 3: coach he's got.

297
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is.

298
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: He's got loads of experience. Like you said, he's coached yeah,

299
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: all around the world. He's coached internationally, so he's got

300
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: so much experience that when you tap into it and

301
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: talk cricket with him, it is amazing. And I think

302
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: him bouncing from being that sort of father figure having

303
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: general conversation about life with you, but then you know,

304
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 3: niggling him a little bit of cricket here and there,

305
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: just to get your thinking and get your you know,

306
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: thinking about something differently or how are you going to prepare.

307
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: He's a great man to talk to about cricket, I think, yeah,

308
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 3: and life, but I think that's been the good thing.

309
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: He can bounce from, yeah, one to the other. He

310
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: mixes well with different personalities, which yeah, this Stars group's

311
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: got plenty of different personalities, different age, age rangers. But

312
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: he's seen it all and I think that probably helped

313
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: us a lot last year and just trying to find

314
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: a way to go from losing those games to them winning.

315
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: Just that you know, he's calm, you know manner definitely

316
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: kept us in a good, good place and you know,

317
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: talking about enjoyment and all those little things. But yeah,

318
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 3: he's been great fun to work with. I've obviously known

319
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: him for a long time my time in England, but

320
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: never really played underneath him. So it's nice to, yeah,

321
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 3: be on his side and learn from him because yeah,

322
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: there's still a lot to learn. I'm still earning as

323
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: a forty one year old. Some of the ideas he

324
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: comes to me with and plans and stuff like that.

325
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: It's it makes it fun for me because yeah, like

326
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: I said, things can get very boring and just stale

327
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: in the environment that you know of cricket over the years.

328
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: But I've been a professional cricket for over twenty years.

329
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, have that buzz. Yeah, I'm loving it and

330
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: I'm enjoying. Who knows could be my last year? We

331
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: just don't know. So, like I said, I've always enjoy

332
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: every moment because yeah, it might be too long left.

333
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: It's sad not to laugh. And you say it might

334
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: be my last year. I've been saying that for a

335
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: long time. In fact, you've said categorically this is my

336
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: last year about three years ago. Marcus Doinus. We're talking

337
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: before about leadership with Peter Moores. It feels like he

338
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: actually loves to be the leader. He loves to be

339
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: the man. Now, you can be the man and not

340
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: be the captain and still kind of go out there

341
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: and want to dominate. But it's almost like an extra

342
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: layer when you give Marcus Jinness the captaincy in the

343
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: way that he just commands things. I don't I think

344
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: that's the the most appropriate word to describe him.

345
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, I think it showed last night. Last night

346
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: was a perfect example, I reckon, not just because yes,

347
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: he was the man of the match and start, but

348
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: the buzz, even just from the start when he got

349
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: the ball in the hand, he gets a wicket, you know,

350
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: even just step back one little minute before that when

351
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: he bowled his first over and you look up and

352
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: they've got his song title on the thing and it's

353
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: it's big puppy like you know that that is him,

354
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: that's him to a t. That's you know, he wants

355
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: to be the man. He's like the father figure of

356
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: the group and the and the true leader, and that's

357
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: what he loves. He thrives on that, and it showed

358
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: from then, Yeah, the wicked early on, you know, the

359
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: carry on and they just the chat throughout. I love

360
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: playing with him, played with him for years with Victoria,

361
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: and it's great to see him like that. And I

362
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: think it does He stands up tall, always jump on

363
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: his shoulders and it's like, let's go, and it definitely

364
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: helps us, you know, get that buzz.

365
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: Helps us perform. And then just his knowledge.

366
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: He's played a hell of a lot of cricket around

367
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: the world, especially T twenty, so his cricket smarts, understanding

368
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: of the game and situations and stuff like that is superb.

369
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: So obviously great having him as a leader out in

370
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: the field and when he goes out the bat, he

371
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: wants to be the man.

372
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: And I think that showed last night how he finished.

373
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: That game, took down the spinner, saying early on just

374
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: to get a bit of momentum back, and then to

375
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: finish it the way he did at the end of serage,

376
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: taking twenty off that to seal the game. Yeah, showed

377
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: the probably the form that he's in, but the place

378
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: that he is in in headspace that you know he's

379
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: ready for this season. He's ready to be the man,

380
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: and yeah, he started well last night.

381
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: Now you've played a lot of cricket with James Pattinson,

382
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I can't remember whether you played in

383
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: the game of the MCG that day when Pattinson and

384
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: Stein has had the big Battle of the MCG. We

385
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: played that game Steins's charging Pado and it was just

386
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: it was in the middle of the MCAG. But it

387
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: feels to me that Stunas has the same ability of

388
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: Patternson to be able to inspire us through body language

389
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: and through not just not the bowling necessarily or the

390
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: batting in the case of Stillin, but it's the I

391
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: don't know, there's something about him that's an intangible that

392
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: gets others going. Is that can you see the comparisons

393
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: between the two of them.

394
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I think it's just watching them they love.

395
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: It's not just being a competitor when you when you

396
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: want to as an individual, but.

397
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: They do it specifically to the better players as well.

398
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: They're targeting, not whether they're targeting, but they like to

399
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: put pressure on the stars of the opposition.

400
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: So it's not like, you know, he wasn't sitting around

401
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: last night.

402
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: If it's Timmy David, you know he's having his words,

403
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 3: he's having a bit of a joke with him. They're friends,

404
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: but there's a battle on it on your hands, and

405
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: I think that's the type.

406
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the type of players that make you stand

407
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: up and go.

408
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: So he won't getting intimidated, but the team won't get intimidated.

409
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: So the younger players getting to and it.

410
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: Ends up being a distraction which helps the rest of

411
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: the team.

412
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: Exactly how you put it then, is that the younger

413
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 3: guys who might be like, oh, Timmy David, he's going

414
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: to smash us. Oh this is nervous time because the

415
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: wind's up and about and you know, sort of taking

416
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: it away from everyone else that he's willing to handle

417
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 3: all that pressure. No different than what Pado did, and

418
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: it does. It makes it makes everyone, you know, stand

419
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: a little taller, be a little bit more confident. And

420
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 3: the perfect example then with the bat was probably him

421
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: and Color's batting together. Steyne, you know, takes the pressure

422
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: off by getting it getting the spinner away when he

423
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: was byling. Well, this is a bit of pressure, and

424
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: then and then it gets a few off the quick

425
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 3: Color starts going and then like it's flowing, and that

426
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: partnership just you know, flew to the end. So yeah,

427
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, he showed he showed what he can

428
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 3: do last night. I know it was is it two

429
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: for and sixty like obviously a great game, but yeah,

430
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: I think he's showing how dangers she can already be

431
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 3: and that, yeah, if we need to chase a big title,

432
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: a big game coming, and I'm.

433
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: A firm believer in that there are certain players that

434
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: make statements early in the season it can actually set

435
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: your season up. Now we'll find out whether it does,

436
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: but there was a bit of that last night from

437
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: the stars, So I think it was a particularly impressive

438
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: campiell Kellaway. You talked about him, Tom Rodgers, it feels

439
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: like that And again I referenced Peter Moore is here

440
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: and to a lesser extent, Marcus Steiners have publicly said

441
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: this isn't about Steiners, it isn't about Maxwell, It isn't

442
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: about said as improvement's going to come from those younger

443
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: players and giving them a bit more responsibility. Rogers at

444
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: the top, Kellaway at three, and that's kind of working

445
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: as well. Early it is and I remember it. It

446
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: is one game, but the things that you've spoken about

447
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: came came to came to the four in the first

448
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: game I did.

449
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: And I think there's probably a lot of question marks and.

450
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 3: Tommy and Rogers and has seen it enough and obviously

451
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: copped a low grief last year about his performances, but

452
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: his worked so hard this season and the steps that

453
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: he's taken, and how he's played already this season for

454
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: Victoria or even in club cricket and the practice games.

455
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: He's taken big strides and his game has come a

456
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: long way. And to see him start like he did

457
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: last night, and I know he's disappointed he gets out

458
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 3: and didn't go on with it, but the way he

459
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: played like in the past, you know, he gets a

460
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: couple of boundaries and he plays a shot that he

461
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: probably didn't need to, and he gets himself out where

462
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: his last night, he took his time, picked the right balls,

463
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 3: a lot more composed than I think because he's going

464
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 3: to play a big role for us. And yeah, it

465
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: was nice to see him get that start. Campbell to

466
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: stand up obviously swepto on debut, Yes, experience, but get

467
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: his debut getting into the game even welcome and back.

468
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: Harris hasn't been been here for a couple of years,

469
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: but to see him back in the fold, it just

470
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: makes for a nice balance throughout the line line up.

471
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's exciting.

472
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 3: But it is going to need those players, and there's

473
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 3: going to be other players that come in throughout the

474
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: season and going to play a part throughout. But yeah,

475
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 3: to see these guys stand up, because that's the future

476
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: of the team.

477
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: It's not you know, the senior players are going to disappear.

478
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 3: At some stage and you know you need support roles

479
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 3: and sometimes it might be the senior player supporting them.

480
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, to see what they did.

481
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: Last night and how they started, its yeah, great signs

482
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: for the season to come.

483
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: Has rafted Bell quickly. They didn't go up Bell quickly,

484
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: as you said, He's got something something to work on

485
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: at Glen Maxwell's catch, he made something one incredible look

486
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: incredibly easy last night for someone Again, you've played with

487
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: him for many, many years. Is there anything that he

488
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: does that surprises you anymore?

489
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: Not really, Nah, it's.

490
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: That was very difficult.

491
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: It was it was made to look incredibly and then I.

492
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: Just like, I just think straight back when you're talking

493
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 3: about it, like the training session before, like you were

494
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: doing some long balls, you know, catches on the band

495
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 3: and that's how he's practicing though, Like it's like everyone

496
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 3: else's practicing maybe running to the side left or right,

497
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: taking a standard catch you know, lower above, but he's

498
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: like standing on the rope waiting for it to get there.

499
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: He's jumping up, flicking it backwards, like he's doing all

500
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: these different things. That's how he's actually practicing for those

501
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: specific ones. And even when he came in, like we

502
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 3: all knew that it had like as in he had

503
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: to jump over the boundary, but he's like, I'm not

504
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: even sure I had to do that.

505
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: I think I'll still in play, Like just how easy

506
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: that he says that. There's just like.

507
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 3: But I'm supposed to do things like that. You have

508
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: to be in that frame of mind and be able

509
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: to stay relaxed, because what usually goes goes wrong on

510
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 3: the boundary is you're thinking too much about it and

511
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 3: you throw the ball and you haven't even caught it yet,

512
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: so you end up dropping it or whatever. But yeah,

513
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: nothing surprises now, and yeah, there's probably going to be

514
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: a few more before the end of the year. But yeah,

515
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: it's obviously he need to have someone like that on

516
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: the boundary for you, especially when you're the bowler.

517
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 2: I guess the benefit of it.

518
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: You touched on about how much he practices it, and

519
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: I think that gets lost a lot is though he's

520
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: got the freakish talent, he can do things that other

521
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: people can't do, but he practices that more than anybody.

522
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's his hot spoty. He perfects that position

523
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: in the field a long off or long on, but

524
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: it's not it doesn't happen by accident. The practice that

525
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: he puts in it means that he can be quite

526
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: relaxed in the process of doing it because he kind

527
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: of backs in his preparation.

528
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, and that's that's true to its word

529
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: is that everyone can practice it and go, oh yeah,

530
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: I did it.

531
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: And then you know freakishly will take it.

532
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: But the thing that stands out is that he practices

533
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 3: it all the time and he's consistently taking them.

534
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: I think that's probably the difference.

535
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: People go, I practice it a little bit, they don't

536
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: consistently take those catches. He does that time all the time,

537
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 3: so I think, yeah, that's the that's the key to it.

538
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 3: It's no different than me running in trying to hit

539
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: the top of off. He's practicing that just as much

540
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: as I'm practices my skill. So yeah, that's why everyone goes, oh,

541
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: it looks really easy. Well it is for him, It

542
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: isn't for anyone else. But he can make it look

543
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: easy because he's like, well, that's just my standard skill.

544
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: I've practiced that and I do it all the time.

545
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: So still makes us laugh like how easy he does

546
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 3: take him. But yeah, like I watched him and I

547
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: watched him drop him as well. He knows how to

548
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: drop him at training, but he keeps going, keeps going

549
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: different movements with how to stand, how to.

550
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: Jump over the rope, what positions should it be?

551
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: Back turn, facing it, like he tries all the different

552
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: things to work out what he's going to be the

553
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 3: best way to take the ball in that situation, and

554
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: last night was a perfect example.

555
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: Again.

556
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean what he's doing is kind of emblematic

557
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: of how quickly the competition has changed from when it

558
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: first started. And then obviously the power hitting of a

559
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: Tim David, who you experienced last night waking it straight

560
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: back at you still and it's his power as well.

561
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: Are they sort of the key things that have changed

562
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: since you first started playing the b bel or there are

563
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: other things as well that sort of stand out as

564
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: the game changing.

565
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

566
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: I think that the athleticism in the field fielding has

567
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: always been good. I think it's always been Australian culture

568
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 3: that the better teams in the T twenty have always

569
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 3: been potentially the better fielding team.

570
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: So that's always been a part of the game.

571
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: But those type of skills I think we could always

572
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: catch well, there's always lots of runouts, you know, sharp fielding,

573
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: diving stuff like that, but it's that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah,

574
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: jumping over the rope because like I said, it's happening

575
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: more so people are practicing it more, they're starting to

576
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 3: learn how to do things differently. And then the power hitting,

577
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 3: I think we've always had the power hitting, but I

578
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: reckon it's how expansive the batters games have got. I

579
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: think it's not just about standing there and hitting balls

580
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 3: over the rope down the ground. I think it's all

581
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: the skill sets. Now you're seeing guys how are flicking

582
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: them up over short third man and short fine leg.

583
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: All through the innings.

584
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: So I think, yeah, they're They're the two things that

585
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 3: I think have expanded the most. And then bowling's obviously

586
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 3: got a hell of a lot better, just from the

587
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: shear fact that the batting has got so so good

588
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 3: and the batters that that they're thinking the shots, they

589
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: can play so much more. Three sixty now that we

590
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 3: had to get better at, you know, new skills, executing

591
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: different deliveries, and probably been a bit more precise on

592
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 3: on the skill sets that we wanted to work on

593
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 3: as individuals.

594
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: Do you I don't know where there is too strong,

595
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: but do you fear for your safety at times coming

596
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: into bowl when you've got someone like Tim David at

597
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: the other end, you know, can whack it back at

598
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: you as quickly as you can where you can't get

599
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: out of the way.

600
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: Ah, I don't think about it as much as Yeah,

601
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: I probably do when you bring it up like that,

602
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah you think there is situations that, yeah, could be

603
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: quite scary, but yeah, we probably don't worry too much

604
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: about it. It's probably more just like you said that

605
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 3: one and he whacked back at me last night, goes

606
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 3: through my legs and nearly hits my hand, and I'm like,

607
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: I just think back, Yeah, the amount of damage I've

608
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 3: done my hand in big bat balls getting hit back

609
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: at me trying to catch them will stop them. I

610
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 3: don't want that again, especially this early in the season.

611
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: But no, you're not too worried about it. And I

612
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: think that you usually have enough time to move.

613
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: Well enough into a safe position touch foods.

614
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 3: But yeah, Timmy, David's out of the way now, so

615
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: look at the next one.

616
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, Timmy's probably one of the scarier ones.

617
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: If you had to name someone him Storing, Mitch Marsh.

618
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: They're the real powerful boys that you don't want hitting

619
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: back at you.

620
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: Shadow Cans about to join. It's one of the international visitors.

621
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: We've got one last one for you about still playing

622
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: cricket at the MCG after all those years. Do you

623
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: still get days walking up the race or coming into

624
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: Bowl with a crowd under lights, they still have that

625
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: same yelling. Do you ever get tired of that?

626
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: I don't think you never get sick of that.

627
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: I think yeah, like I could still picture coming but

628
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 3: down there as a young kid watching Australia play at

629
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 3: that stadium and you're like, now, this is this is

630
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 3: cool and it is it's our cool cum in Australia,

631
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 3: isn't it. So it's like, yeah, a place where you

632
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: just you want to be and you want to play,

633
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 3: and especially when it's your home ground. I think the

634
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 3: support we got there last night was amazing first home

635
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: game of the season and it is a great place

636
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 3: to play and I think you cherish it the most

637
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 3: when you meet or introduce the people that it's their

638
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 3: first time there.

639
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: And we had some people there from night last night.

640
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: That come along with some friends and it was there

641
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: there American been some big stadiums, but yeah, for them

642
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: to yeah, see that for the first time and talk

643
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: about it and see it, there's dull a maze and

644
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: I think that's when you you realize, yeah, we're playing

645
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: in a pretty special place. So that was part of

646
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: the reason about, Yeah, the opportunity to get getting back

647
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: at the Stars last year and obviously, yeah, it's going

648
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: to be It's going to be a great place to

649
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: finish my career, that's for sure. And it's hopefully in

650
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: the new year when we get back for some home

651
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: games that yeah, well it'll be packed out and ready

652
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: for that derby in the new year.

653
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was going to say, I mean, you've played

654
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: for both Red and Green. Is that is that rivalry real?

655
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: And do you feel it's now getting to this really

656
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: quite intense level, but that we can build on something

657
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: pretty special.

658
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 3: It's just the buzz around it, you know, the support

659
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 3: that both teams have in Melbourne, the crowds that turn

660
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: up for it, the atmosphere around the games, and I

661
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: think just that little those little bragging right, It's like

662
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: it's like playing your little brother in a sport or

663
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: sister or whatever it might be. In the backyard. You're

664
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: playing sport against your sibling and you want to win

665
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: and have the bragg and rights that you're better. And

666
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: that's what it's like in Melbourne. No different between Sydney.

667
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: For the Sydney Smash that you just want to be

668
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 3: that you want to be, you want to own Melbourne

669
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 3: and that's that's what they know. That's their catchphrase, isn't it.

670
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: You know, paint the City's green or the Sydney's red,

671
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: and that's what it's about. And yeah, I think that

672
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: last year, like those those games that we had were

673
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: amazing games, both of them. So yeah, I think it

674
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: makes it for another huge year of the Derby coming up.

675
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: All right, shut Up Kahn one of the stars instead

689
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: spent a few times down here playing at different teams.

690
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: I think you found the right color.

691
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I've found the right color now, I

692
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 4: don't need to change anything now, especially the pad or

693
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 4: gloves wise.

694
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I reckon you're going to get good conditions

695
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: as well at Jie Stadium this year? Is your is

696
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: your home ground? Is that another reason why you're keen

697
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: to come and play your creating Sydney this year in

698
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: the BBL.

699
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: I supposed to come last year as well, but this

700
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 4: year has happened. So I hear a lot of things

701
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 4: about our home ground is spinning bit, so I'm excited

702
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: for that. Hopefully it will be still like the last

703
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 4: year how it was spending a bit. Hopefully stay like that.

704
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, shut up, you've got to obviously you're talking about

705
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: the spin. You've got a lot of good in partners

706
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: there on your team obviously, TENV Sanger and Chris Green.

707
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. What advice do you have from them?

708
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: What are you learning off them or what are they

709
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 3: asking you about the season ahead?

710
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 4: See yeah, Greenie, I played with Gereni when I think

711
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen twenty nineteen. We play together from there and

712
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 4: we know each other very well. Sunga is in like

713
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 4: a newcomer, but he's doing so well from last couple

714
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 4: of years. So obviously condition wise is different from the

715
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 4: Asia condition. That definitely asks I asked them about the

716
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 4: condition how to bowl on these type of tracks because

717
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: sometimes dimension wise of the grounds in Australia is a

718
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: bit different as well. So obviously we both learned from

719
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 4: each other. Sangay is with me. He tried to learn

720
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: the different stuff as well from me. So I think

721
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 4: we are all are in a good space.

722
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: We think if Shane warn As being someone that took

723
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: so many wickets here in Australia buying like spinn he

724
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: loves bowling on our pitches, You've been out here enough

725
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: now I don't know what it's like to bowl on

726
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: all our venues. How do you find bowling like spin

727
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: here in Australia.

728
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: Depend where you play, But I think dimension wisees help

729
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 4: you because if you play in Asia is small ground,

730
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 4: flat tracks, it's very hard to bowl on that tracks.

731
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: But I think demension wise in Australia is help you

732
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: as a spinner because you have a question, you can

733
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: use your varieties and you can deceive it. You try

734
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: to deceive on the flights as well, but other venues

735
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: you can't, like especially if in Asia you're playing, you

736
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 4: can't deceive it. From the flight, but here you can

737
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 4: and you get extra bounce as well as a lex Meiner.

738
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 4: You need that. I think as a lex Meiners help

739
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 4: us if she is a little bit more bounced and

740
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 4: yet then you can use your variation with that.

741
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: So I'm interested and don't give away too many sacrets.

742
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: But how many different deliveries do you have in your

743
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: in your kit bag? If you got sort of you

744
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: might bow one every hundred balls. But if you have

745
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: you the ones you would go to generally, how many

746
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: different deliveries have you got?

747
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 4: I think I play with my game plan with the

748
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 4: three deliveries every game, especially two twenties, So it's just, yeah,

749
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 4: I play with that, so it doesn't matter. It's not

750
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 4: like I'm giving you too much. But everyone nowadays there's

751
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 4: so much data to one everyone knew it, so I

752
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 4: always go with the three deliveries every game, especially in

753
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 4: two twenties.

754
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: And when you get to the top of your mark,

755
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: I always ask this question of spinners and fast bowlers.

756
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: Do you know sort of one, two, three, four balls

757
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: in advance what your set is going to be? Or

758
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: do you make up your mind just before you bowl

759
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: every ball and.

760
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 4: Think just before every ball because you see the situation,

761
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 4: what situation demanded, and who bet man is playing, and

762
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: so it's I think it's every ball you change it, yes,

763
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 4: because you can't t twenty quick is so far as

764
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: you can't plan it before because it's changed in a

765
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 4: one game situation and the rounder go where from one

766
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 4: ball if someone hit us six is everything's got changed.

767
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 4: So I think before a ball, every ball you change it,

768
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 4: and you think they're like, oh, now on a mark,

769
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: you feel it like, oh, on this batsman, this situation,

770
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 4: I have to ball this.

771
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: Would you be the same Do you like to sort

772
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: of set a batsman up and say I'm going to

773
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: go this, this, this, and then this, or you be

774
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: like shut up, what do you get to the top

775
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: of your mark and then decide.

776
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: I think you have a little bit of a plan.

777
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 3: But like like Shautups said, you have the balls that

778
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: are your key, you know, go tos and then it

779
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 3: is about adjusting. You know, whether the batter is moving around,

780
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 3: how he's actually played the previous couple of balls. Yeah,

781
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: things might have happened that you didn't expect to, So

782
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 3: then you have to adjust, or you can stick to

783
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 3: the same stuff that you're already bowling because that that

784
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: that's been working. So as much as you have your

785
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 3: other deliveries, I think most of the time you do

786
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: have the delivery.

787
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: They going to bowl at the top of your mark.

788
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: Sometimes that changes as the better may move or whatever,

789
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: but yeah, more often than not, at the top of

790
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 3: the mark, you know what's going and that's what you

791
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: stick with.

792
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, your new team this year, have you found it?

793
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: I know you've you've only just recently came into Sydney

794
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: and and so forth, But what's your what's your initial

795
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: feeling like?

796
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: Shut up?

797
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 4: Oh no, I think it's I think I have found

798
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 4: a team, which I love it because how do you

799
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 4: welcome me? How do you treat me? I think that's

800
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 4: what I needed. I think I think this team will

801
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 4: be is my team now. So there was so welcoming

802
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 4: and I think I'm loving here because of the weather

803
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 4: as well, especially now and and Pakistan is too cold

804
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 4: and now whether it is Sydney is lovely, so I'm

805
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 4: enjoying the weather as well. Say uh, it's good.

806
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Davey Warner is your skipper at the Thunder.

807
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 3: Have you played with him before or if not, you're

808
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: looking forward to, Yeah, playing alongside him and being led

809
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 3: by him.

810
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, because he's a legend of the game. I

811
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 4: play against him a lot of time, but never played

812
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 4: with him. So definitely as a learning process for me

813
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: as well, because he's a legend of the game. So

814
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 4: how I saw him the nets as well, how he's

815
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 4: go about it, has the energy still, his energy is

816
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 4: up there. So it's like, it's so many things to

817
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 4: learn from them.

818
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: Is he different to what he was like when you

819
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: were playing against him? Now? Is your now's your friend?

820
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: There is your teammate.

821
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 4: Definitely? Is is totally different his personalities, I think.

822
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: So he's so he's totally different to what you thought.

823
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you play against him, he is a totally

824
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 4: different guy. But if you play with him this, he's

825
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 4: totally different. He's your friend, is your mate. He tried

826
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 4: to take care of everything. So but when he's playing

827
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: against you, is a totally totally different.

828
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: You're nodding as well. Seen you've had that experience hundred percent.

829
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 3: Obviously I played against I played with you most of

830
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 3: my career, but yeah, just no one and giggling to

831
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 3: myself knowing how how much of a little pest. He

832
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: is on the field as a teammate and going at

833
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 3: the opposition and similar to what we said about Stoying earlier,

834
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: about distracting the opposition and you know, taking it away

835
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 3: from everyone else. Yeah, they take a lot on themselves.

836
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 3: And Davey was he loved being that man. He loved Yeah,

837
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 3: being the taking all the pressure and letting everyone else

838
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 3: stay calm and relaxed.

839
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: So you've got the David Warner experience. But you've also

840
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: now got this year the Barbara's Arm experience. You've got

841
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: the Mohammed Risbon experience, You've got the Shan Sharah a

842
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: Fredi experience. You know players that you've played a lot

843
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: of cricket with Pakistan with and now against you the.

844
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: Enemy see uh in our culture or maybe here as well.

845
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 4: If you lose from the friend is it's hard to digest.

846
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 4: It's the same thing for me because your friend they

847
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 4: won't forget for years, like what we didd for you

848
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 4: with you because we play ps L against each other,

849
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 4: but that stay for one year before our next PSL

850
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 4: because if they've done against well against me or I

851
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 4: done well against them, So we will talk about that

852
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 4: for a whole year, So that's that's the pressure is

853
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 4: always there if you play with the mates, so definitely

854
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 4: pressure will be there as well. I think I think

855
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: we're playing tomorrow with the Barber against the Barber City Sixers,

856
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 4: so it will be more pressure on him than me.

857
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: So if you already work that your plans to bubble,

858
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: what you're going to do him? How are you going

859
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: to confuse him?

860
00:39:59,000 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 4: What?

861
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: What? What are the sort of things you're going to

862
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: do to him?

863
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 4: Definitely, definitely I will talk to him because I know

864
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 4: his well weakness and everything, so definitely he know my

865
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: weakness as well. But still I will try to get

866
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 4: my first first punch before the game as well.

867
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: What's it like to bowl to someone of his quality?

868
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: Apart from the fact obviously your teammates, but we're so

869
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: excited to have one of you know, modern days, great

870
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: one day players, white ball players here in the country

871
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: for the entire BBL. So what's it like when you're

872
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: getting to bowl to someone of his quality?

873
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 4: I think against them you feel like an Ordney baller.

874
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter how good you're bawling, because on a good

875
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 4: ball they score and runs as well. On a bad ball,

876
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 4: everyone's scored. But sometimes you boil a good ball and

877
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 4: they score a round and you feel it like, oh,

878
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 4: it was a good ball or not because from the

879
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 4: hand you feel it like, oh it's it will be

880
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 4: very good ball, but they show you you it's not.

881
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 4: It's it's just an Ordney ball. But that's what is

882
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 4: factor because he's a modern day grade. He done so

883
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 4: well in internationally white ball, especially with white ball, so

884
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 4: definitely play with him or play against him. Is so

885
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 4: much you can learn from the city.

886
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: Smash is coming up this weekend. You're looking forward to it?

887
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: What you've heard about it? And yeah, is it a

888
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: big ravelry similar to the Stars Renegade's derby.

889
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hear about it. I never play yet, but

890
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: I hear a lot and I can sense it. Today

891
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 4: we had a practice session and I can sense it

892
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: that they're really there. So definitely I'm excited for that

893
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 4: because I never played, so I wanted to get that

894
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 4: type of experience. So hopefully it will be a great

895
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 4: explina for us as a team. Hopefully we'll start winning

896
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 4: from tomorrow.

897
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: You've played cricket around the world, particularly on the on

898
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: the T twenty circuit. What's it like playing here in

899
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: the in the Baby l Can you compare this competition

900
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: with some of the other competitions you've played around the world.

901
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 4: I think it's totally different from around the world because

902
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: of the powerplay and the search stuff. It is totally

903
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 4: different because the other day I golla, this is my

904
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 4: first time. But it's very hard to ball on that

905
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 4: like a surge over, because around the world is like

906
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 4: six hour power play and then you can plan it

907
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 4: out what's what you can do it. But in Australia

908
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 4: it's hard to plan it out because you never know

909
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 4: because after four wards you have a power play and

910
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 4: after that ten hour you can take a search anytime,

911
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 4: and that embarrassment gets set and the two over cushion

912
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 4: is very hard to plan about it. I think that's

913
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 4: a very hard and that's a unique thing in BBER

914
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 4: and that's excited us as well because you know you're

915
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 4: you're doing the different stuff from the around the world.

916
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: So did the others like Shahane and Mohammed Risban we

917
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: talked about Baba, did they talk to you about it

918
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: if we came out for the babyl what it would

919
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: be like considering the experience you've had in it, already.

920
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 4: Definitely. We talk about it and I because they play

921
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 4: here as well before. But I said, I tell everyone

922
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 4: that when you come here, you feel like this is

923
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 4: this will be your second home because how they welcome,

924
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 4: how they treat you as a human, as a player,

925
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: you will love that. So I think everyone is enjoying

926
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 4: their time in Australia and.

927
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: The significance for the Pakistani cricket to have so many

928
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: of the beast coming out here for the baby l

929
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: You know, you've played a favorite of cricket for Pakistan

930
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: yourself as well in the in the national team. So

931
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: I have so many of you you at here. Is

932
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: that going to be significant back home in Pakistan as well?

933
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 4: Definitely. So everyone is excited, you know, the bubber and

934
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 4: the big names are here and they everyone is excited

935
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 4: and they're watching the games. See maybe before that maybe

936
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 4: we don't have too many player and be real, but

937
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: this time is like six summer player we are playing

938
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 4: and everyone is excited. You know, everyone has their own

939
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 4: everyone have their own fan base and they love to

940
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 4: watch them on a screen and play the top league

941
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 4: in the world. So and you feel it and you

942
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 4: can see the buzz around the world as well, Like

943
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 4: especially from Aburt, Pakistan, you can censor the bus because

944
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 4: they're watching there, they're following you what you guys are doing.

945
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm interested. I hope, I hope this question

946
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: makes sense. But did T twenty cricket find you or

947
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: is it something that you always felt that your skill

948
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: set was suited to because said you've played six Test

949
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: matches for Pakistan, You've played a lot of first class cricket,

950
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: but it feels like it's more the white ball. Does

951
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 1: that suit your game? Is it something that you wanted

952
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: to do or did the game kind of find you?

953
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: Because I was looking through your numbers now, I mean

954
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: it's over one hundred and T twenty internationals for pakist

955
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: standard now I with three hundred T twenty games around

956
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: the world as well, so you're getting very experienced for

957
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: someone who's only twenty seven years out.

958
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when I never thought about it, just

959
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 4: to white bollstar, but because of my injuries happened. Maybe

960
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 4: that's why I didn't play that much Red Bull because

961
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 4: when I was doing well when I played Test cricket,

962
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 4: but I got injured a lot of time because of

963
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 4: my action and other stuff. I was getting injured a

964
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 4: lot of time, so that's why I had a more

965
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 4: focus on a white ball at that time, so I

966
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 4: can play more cricket for my national team and around

967
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: the world as well, because longer term like a Test

968
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 4: match or a four days it was a little bit

969
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 4: difficult for me that time because of my action.

970
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, if you got one more question, paid for

971
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: Shadow before we let him go.

972
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 3: I think the big one, yeah, is just obviously we've

973
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 3: spoken a lot about it in the Pakistan players coming

974
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 3: out here. Do you think with the with the influx

975
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 3: of you guys in this season, do you think in

976
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 3: the future there's going to be a lot more Pakistan

977
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 3: players that will want to come out and be a

978
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 3: part of the Big Bash.

979
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 4: Definitely. I think you can sense it like everyone is

980
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 4: enjoying that and back home as well because they can

981
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 4: see it now because this is the top league. Is

982
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 4: hard leagues for especially for a batsman who's coming from

983
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: the Pakistan is hard to play here, and definitely everyone

984
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 4: want to do player. Hopefully we can see more player

985
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 4: from Pakistan next year as well.

998
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: to the Sage. How good was it to speak to

999
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: shut Up Khn And I was lucky enough last week

1000
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: to have a chat to Sheen Shara Fredi and that

1001
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: was pretty special because especially they're such great people, but

1002
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: they just love being here, They love being part of

1003
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: it all, and I think it's important that for us

1004
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: that they are here because it's kind of validating our

1005
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: competition too, isn't it.

1006
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: It is.

1007
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great to see how many of them from

1008
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 3: Pakistan have come out this year. And I had the

1009
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 3: same chat with Harris during our batting innings the other night.

1010
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 3: Is yeah, I just asked about his story because it

1011
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: was a it was a different one pretty much club

1012
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 3: cricket playing for the Stars. Next minute he is playing

1013
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 3: international cricket for Pakistan. So even just talking to him

1014
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: about that and telling him about the trials. He was

1015
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 3: a net trialist in twenty seventeen, like that's only eight

1016
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: years ago. Yeah, he was going as a trial just

1017
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 3: to try and get a game, and here he is,

1018
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 3: you know, one of the best white ball bowlers in

1019
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 3: the world.

1020
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's great to have him out.

1021
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 3: They're great competitors obviously stars and yeah, I'm looking forward

1022
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 3: to playing against some of them. But yeah, I love

1023
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 3: the other night playing and alongside Harris and running around

1024
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 3: in the middle with him.

1025
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: So Jean was telling me that to get into a

1026
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: REP team, he got to bowl two balls. That's all

1027
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: he had. There was like a thousand people there. He

1028
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: got two balls with the tape tennis ball and that

1029
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: was all he had to get through. It's just it's

1030
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: totally different, but it's great, I reckon because it is

1031
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: so different. Everyone has a different story to tell, which

1032
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: is what you want.

1033
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 3: It is, that's right, And I think even just here

1034
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 3: in Shadows say that, like the people back home that

1035
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 3: are now watching it even more so because there is

1036
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 3: you know, six or six of them out here playing

1037
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 3: this season that that is exciting and I think it

1038
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 3: probably is just the start of a lot more Pakistan

1039
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: players coming out in the future and being a part

1040
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 3: of the Big Bash.

1041
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. All right, let's get into our yes no

1042
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: weight for the week and this is where I'll put

1043
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: you under pressure with some tough questions. The Sydney Sixers

1044
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: already in strife at zero and two.

1045
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 3: It's a wait, I'm going with weight Sean Abbott still

1046
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 3: you know, the play a part. I think a big

1047
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 3: inn and then Sam Curran to come in a few

1048
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: games time, hopefully not in a too bad a situation

1049
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 3: by the time he gets here.

1050
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, going on.

1051
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: We was zip and five last year and then made

1052
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 3: the finals, so I've still got time and some staff

1053
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 3: firepower to come into that lineup.

1054
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: Did she was seeing the praises of Oli Peak when

1055
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: he was here last week as one of the sort

1056
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: of the breakout players in the competition. He's already started

1057
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: extremely well. Your teammate Campbell Callaway, who's been spoken about

1058
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: as a as a possible test player within the next twelve,

1059
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: but he's also showing a bit at the top of

1060
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: the order in white ball cricket as well.

1061
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a yes for me, definitely.

1062
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's a star, and yes, more in the

1063
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 3: longer form that we've seen over the last sort of

1064
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 3: eighteen months and the start of this season. But yeah,

1065
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 3: to see him go out there start his way and

1066
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 3: then find a bit of confidence and then get flowing

1067
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 3: and the way he finished last night, yeah was unbelievable.

1068
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, a bit of a challenge I think

1069
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 3: for the Yeah, the newcomer of the year and.

1070
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Campbell's got a chance.

1071
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: You can almost see in his eyes this confidence, this

1072
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: belief that he has in himself. He might not have

1073
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: had which will Deffair enough a couple of years ago.

1074
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: But when he's going out to bat now, you can

1075
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: almost see in his eyes that he feels like he belongs.

1076
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 3: He does, and that confidence but even not his batting,

1077
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 3: even in him in the field last night he took

1078
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 3: three catches and I think just you know that that's

1079
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 3: somewhere that he probably felt a bit nervous or people

1080
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 3: didn't think he was that confident. But he's buzzing around

1081
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 3: in the field. Now he's taken those catches and I

1082
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 3: think that's flowing into his batting as well. That he's

1083
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: enjoyed his game. He's comfortable with where he's at and

1084
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 3: feels that he can belong And I think, yeah, that

1085
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 3: innings last night. I know it was only a small

1086
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 3: one and just a start, but yeah, he can take

1087
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence out of the way. He knuckled

1088
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 3: down at the start, rotated the strike, got through and

1089
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: then to be able to you know, advance the game,

1090
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 3: get a few boundaries, finished with a strike Rader one fifty.

1091
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, that's great signs for not just him,

1092
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 3: but yeah, definitely for us as a team.

1093
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Okay, the Strikers were on the money where they're

1094
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: off season recruits Luke Wood, Hassan Ali, Jason Sanger, Kenzie

1095
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: has a lot of new players in that striker's team,

1096
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: but they're on the money.

1097
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 3: Yes, no, wait, yes, I backed that in. I spoke

1098
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 3: with Painty a lot during that.

1099
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a bias Mandura in.

1100
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 3: The PM's eleven chadded about but yeah, they've just gone

1101
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 3: for how they wanted to line up their side, the

1102
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 3: balance that they needed and where the gaps they needed

1103
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 3: to feel. And I think it's been spoken a lot

1104
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 3: about He's spoken about it, about their bowling options and

1105
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 3: being having that skill to be able to you know,

1106
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 3: defend at home, but also those tough overs all around

1107
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 3: the country, which is what you need in the big

1108
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 3: to be a contender in the Big Bash. And yeah,

1109
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 3: the inns of Luke Wood and Hassan Ali, that's that's

1110
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 3: that's huge, to go with Jamie Overn and who's already there,

1111
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: Henry Thornton, who was an unbelievable wicket taker. Yeah, they've

1112
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 3: got a very strong bowling lineup. Obviously, they've got the

1113
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 3: spin to go with that. Their bowling line up now

1114
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 3: is yeah, pretty complete. And then yeah, adding a few

1115
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 3: extra batters with the with the star power that they

1116
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 3: already had at the top with Shorty and Linny that yeah,

1117
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 3: they're in a good place.

1118
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, got a soft spot for the strikers, I do admit.

1119
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, a bit.

1120
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: Different though, aren't that. I Mean we often speak, almost

1121
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: in baseball teams of offense and defense when it comes

1122
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: to BBL cricket, but you have, say, Renegades that are

1123
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: really big on offense, But then you have the Strikers

1124
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: that it feels like defenses or defense is one of

1125
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: their key attributes. I think that's a little bit that's

1126
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: been the scorches. We've often thought about their big hitters,

1127
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: but it's been their bowling group that's got it done

1128
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: in high pressure finals. So you know, that's that's what

1129
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: the Strikers seem to have, maybe more so than some

1130
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 1: of the other teams.

1131
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's it's what you sort of

1132
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 3: need for the Adelaide Oval. I think how you're set

1133
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 3: up there that batters can get gone that suits batting,

1134
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 3: but if you can own and be able to bowl

1135
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 3: well there because it is such a unique shape ground

1136
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 3: being really short square, how to execute and deliver on

1137
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 3: that on that.

1138
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: Ground, So you know, you speaking from experience, it's totally

1139
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: different the MCG short straight compared to the Adelaide Oval

1140
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: that's short it is.

1141
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, going back to the years that I

1142
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 3: played there and when we had a lot of success,

1143
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 3: we did dominate at home, and it was structured around

1144
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 3: having a really strong bowling attack that was probably a

1145
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 3: bit more defensive orientated because you have to be and

1146
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 3: then attack when need be. And I think, like I said,

1147
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 3: Luke Wood Hassan Ali both can be elite up front

1148
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 3: but then have the ability to defend when they need to.

1149
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 2: Hassan's obviously got.

1150
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 3: Some serious pace when you get when he gets it

1151
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 3: gets it cranking as well. So that with Jamie Ovid

1152
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 3: and who's already had an impact over the last few years.

1153
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 3: Like I said, Thornton, genuine wicket taker. Yeah, they've got

1154
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 3: plenty of options now.

1155
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's definitely and that's definitely the case. Don'torry about

1156
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: Jake Fraser, mcgirkoy, Josh Brown. That's Tim Saiffert at the

1157
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: at the top of the order. That's the danger man

1158
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: for the Melbourne Renegades if you're targeting there sort of

1159
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: top three, top four, who's number one on your list

1160
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: at the moment.

1161
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 2: I go no, and not in a bad way, just

1162
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 2: in just back it up.

1163
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 3: What you said earlier is that they've got loads of firepower.

1164
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 3: So as much as you could, yeah, I don't think

1165
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 3: you can single one of them out. That's that's the

1166
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 3: only reason it's a no for me, is that they've

1167
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 3: got loads of firepower. And I think even actually and

1168
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 3: Peaky come in the other night and yes, he's a

1169
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 3: little man but he's a smart player and a smart batter.

1170
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 3: I love watching him play. And then yeah, he's still

1171
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 3: got Sutherland down the lower order to strike it. So yeah,

1172
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 3: they've got plenty of options, plenty of firepower. Like you said,

1173
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 3: they are an aggressive side, similar to the Hurricanes how

1174
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 3: they play.

1175
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, not a bad thing that it's a no.

1176
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 3: I just think, yeah, there's so many dangers in there

1177
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 3: that you've got to come prepared.

1178
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: Joe Richardson has come back quickly. It was only a

1179
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: month or so ago he wasn't playing at all and

1180
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: then he went through club cricket and all of a

1181
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: sudden he's training with the actual squad and he's going

1182
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: to be let loose in the BBL. Does that change

1183
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: things for the Scorches having him back?

1184
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 3: I'm going wait, I know might sound yeah, obviously they're

1185
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 3: going to be banged, but he might be back. But

1186
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 3: who's to say that he doesn't play a part in

1187
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 3: the rest of this Test series. That's what we that's

1188
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 3: the unknown. So I think that's probably still the worry

1189
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 3: on the score which's mind is that yeah we might

1190
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 3: have him.

1191
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 2: But how long for? Yeah, and do we lose him again?

1192
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 3: And with a team that I've got a very strong,

1193
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 3: settled batting line up, but you know the losses of

1194
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 3: Behrendorf and aj Tye over the last couple of years,

1195
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 3: that's a.

1196
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 2: Hell of a lot of experience. Pretty much all there.

1197
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 3: Marus is out for the whole thing that if he's

1198
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 3: not there then there's a big reliance on these new

1199
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 3: guys learning fast and learning quick. And we spoke about

1200
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 3: with the strikers dominating at home with your bowling attack,

1201
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 3: which is what the Scorches are known for. But if

1202
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 3: they lose that from their home games, how they're going

1203
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 3: to travel as well? So I'll go wait there, because yeah,

1204
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,479
Speaker 3: he looks like he's bowling well, but there's every chance

1205
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 3: if something pops up, he could be playing for Australia

1206
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 3: as well as soon as next week.

1207
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: So what makes him so good? Since that whenever he's fit,

1208
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: they're trying to rush him in. I mean he's had

1209
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries his career. We know that the

1210
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: high speeds he bowls or what you know, someone has

1211
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: played so much cricket as you have for Australia.

1212
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 3: What makes him such a good fast bowl I think

1213
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 3: the fact that he can bowl. Yeah, he can bowl,

1214
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 3: decent speed and swing it both ways. Like that's that's

1215
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 3: unheard of with a lot of you know, like there

1216
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 3: might be a fast bowl a bit with a bit

1217
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 3: out swing or your bowling swing or yeah, or you're

1218
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 3: just fast.

1219
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 2: But he actually does have it all.

1220
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 3: He's got the full package we've seen in the Big

1221
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 3: Bash over the last couple of years, which is mainly

1222
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 3: what he's played, how dangerous he can be. And yeah,

1223
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 3: it's exciting for Australian cricket. The scene fit because yeah,

1224
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 3: he's got a huge ceiling with his skill set and

1225
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 3: we probably want to see him playing a lot more

1226
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 3: for Australia in the years to come. So yeah, as

1227
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 3: much as I don't want to play against him in

1228
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 3: the Big Bash, I'd love to see him playing a

1229
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 3: long time for Australia.

1230
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, great to see him back.

1231
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: And Colin Munroe, it was a tough year for him

1232
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: last year and again we've we've got an interview coming

1233
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: out with him soon where he actually spoke about his

1234
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: struggles last year. But we've got a glimpse of him

1235
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: very early on in the tournaments as to what he

1236
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: can do. Do you think he can get back to

1237
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: his best this season, I.

1238
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 3: Think yes, I think yeah, Like we said, I think

1239
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 3: a lot of these guys come out here, especially the

1240
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 3: ones that have been coming for a long time, and

1241
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 3: they do they want to stand up, they want.

1242
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: To perform, and they want to win.

1243
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 3: And I think we see that with Colin that he's hungry,

1244
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 3: he wants to win, he wants to perform well for

1245
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 3: his team. And I think with you know, they have

1246
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 3: a few outs with the tests on they miss him players,

1247
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,919
Speaker 3: so he needs someone to stand up and him being

1248
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 3: the person that he is, and you know, one of

1249
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 3: those guys, the senior leader that he wants.

1250
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 2: To be around that group.

1251
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 3: That Yeah, I like watching him bat years ago. It

1252
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 3: was it was good to watch so as much as yeah,

1253
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: you don't want to get affected by it, but yeah,

1254
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 3: he's he's going to play a bit big role for

1255
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 3: them having any success going for Yeah, I was gonna.

1256
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: Say he actually has to have a big saying things

1257
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: before was Marnas come back. All Right, that's pretty much

1258
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: it for this episode of the Search. Thank you for

1259
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: tuning in again. Of course, shut Up Cahn our special guest,

1260
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: and of course Better Siddle, the young fast bowler from

1261
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: the Melvine Stars but don't forget to play the daily

1262
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: Big Bash grid. Now you got to do that through

1263
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: the through the app. I don't know Finch, he's become

1264
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,479
Speaker 1: quite obsessed with it since he was in here last time.

1265
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: You want to do it yet, Yeah.

1266
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 3: I've actually played. I've played most of them. I think

1267
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,439
Speaker 3: I don't do very good at him. I think there's

1268
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 3: a lot of cheating going on in a in a

1269
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 3: lot of them.

1270
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: But Google, and that's not fair.

1271
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 3: I was saying earlier. I think we need there needs

1272
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 3: to be a time a timer on it. I think

1273
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 3: that needs to be the extra addition to that because

1274
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 3: I reckon some of these low scores, there's no way

1275
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 3: known people are getting that with the numbers.

1276
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, a hell of a lot of fun.

1277
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: It is, absolutely so. If you want to play the

1278
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Big Bash greed that you've got to get the Big

1279
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Bash app, where you'll not only find that great game,

1280
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: but also the BKT Big Bash chipping competition with fifteen

1281
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: thousand dollars as the major prize. And it's not too

1282
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: late also to get involved in Supercoach if you like

1283
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,400
