1 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Bowld Maitland Brown aight een off the last over required. 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: The WBBL eleven finals are here and what a dramatic 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: ending it was to the regular season. 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: To make the Strikers finalists. Can they run too here? 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: She's gone really quick, bridget Madison. 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: Heck right house. 7 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: They've done it. The Sydney Sixers have done it. 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: Sidney six is opening bowler Maitland Brown will join us 9 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 2: to relive an epic big Bashed match and to preview 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: this season's final series. This is the Surge, Hey everybody, 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: and welcome to the latest edition of The Surge. I'm 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: Adam White and I'm here by myself. Herbie Shat's not 13 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: with us today, but that's okay. I think we'll get 14 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: through because we've got Maitland Brown from the Sydney Sixers 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: to join us a little bit later from her house. 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: And it's a happy house because the Sixers were involved 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: in that amazing finish to the home and away season 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: yesterday North Sydney Oval. The finals. We weren't well, we 19 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: didn't know what they were until the absolute final ball 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: of the regular season and it was the Sixers, the 21 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: team in Magenda that got over the line in the 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: end against the fast finishing Strikers. It was a dramatic 23 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: finish and we'll talk to Maitland and she'll give us 24 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: all the details as to how it all unfolded and 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: what she and her teammates were thinking with such a 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: nerve racking finish. But what we now know is what 27 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: the final four teams will be for the final series. 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: So let's have a look at the makeup and how 29 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: we'll all play out. So it'll start tomorrow night, Tuesday 30 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 2: night at the Whacker where we have the big game, 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: the knockout between the Perth Scorches and the Melbourne Stars. 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: So the Scorches finishing in third position will take on 33 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: the Stars that ultimately finished fourth. Now, the winner of 34 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: that game then flies from Perth all the way to 35 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Sydney on Thursday night and it's at North Sydney where 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: the Sixers will take on the winner of that scorch'es 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: Stars game. So that's Thursday night at North Sydney Oval, 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: and then the winner of that will head down to Tasmania, 39 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 2: down to Ninja Stadium in Hobart where the Hurricanes will 40 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: be waiting. They will be waiting a while. They don't 41 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: know who they will play until Thursday night, but they're 42 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: sitting there, they know they're into the final and it's 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: just a matter of who they will play. So we'll 44 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: find that out on Saturday night. So it's a great 45 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: final system. I think we're talking about this with Kirby 46 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: in the last episode, the fact that we've got a 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: situation that the team that finished on top after the 48 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: regular season or the home and away season, that they 49 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: get a chance to get all the way through to 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 2: the final. It puts a premium, it puts a real 51 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: bounty on finishing on top, and I think that that's appropriate, 52 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: and it's just a question of who it is that 53 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: the Hurricanes will play. So that is essentially the news 54 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: of the week. When it comes to the WBB, well, 55 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: we know what the final series looks like, but we 56 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: certainly don't know who the ultimate winner will be. So 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: from that we go to Maitland Brown, one of the 58 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: rising stars in the WBBL. She's been brilliant throughout the 59 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: course of the season with the Sixers. But before she 60 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: does join us, let's relive those thrilling final moments from 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: North Sydney. 62 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: All comes down to their six. 63 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: Deliveries eighteen to win. 64 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: And that is a nice start if you're an Adelaide 65 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: Strikers fan, not a believer in this position. Fourteen off 66 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: five and now locks out over the off side and 67 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: for more ten off four from the off side over 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: that infield you get rewarded swing straight out the fielder 69 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: but over our top for six Brichet Patterson. 70 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: This is a master. 71 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Class open stance to win. Oh, just a single bye. 72 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: Two deliveries to come, three to win for the Strikers. 73 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: Ask God. 74 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: The captain delivers when they need her most. Here we go, 75 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: last ball of the season. 76 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 4: Two for a super over the field is a mixing 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: app Do we try and save the boundary for the win? 78 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: Sophie Eggleston a boundary to make the Strikers finalists? Can 79 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: they run two? 80 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 4: Here? 81 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: She's gone really quick, Bridget Madison, Egleston run out. They've 82 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: done up. The Sydney Sixers have done it. Eggleston couldn't 83 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: get back. I'm convinced he's been run out. 84 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: It certainly was a crazy You finished at North Sydney 85 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: Oval yesterday and one of the people that were very 86 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: much heavily involved in those final activities was Maitland Brown, 87 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: who joins us on the surge.

So I'll take you 101 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 2: through a few of those moments. But firstly, the last ball. 102 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: Where were you in the field on that last ball? 103 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if I'm being honest right now, just 104 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: you talking about it, my hands are clammy. 105 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: No, I was fielding. 106 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 4: It cover And I just remember, obviously after the start 107 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: or it was at four six four, I just I 108 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 4: grabbed my whole jersey and I covered my head and 109 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 4: my hat and I just had a big breath and 110 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 4: I put it down and squatted down. 111 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: And I've kind of felt. 112 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: The ground, and I was like, all right, right now, 113 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: I actually can't control what is happening. The only thing 114 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 4: I can do is if the ball comes to me. 115 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 4: So I just kind of like took a moment to 116 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: ground myself. And I remember looking over to Lauren cheat 117 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 4: Or who was next to me at extra, and she 118 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: just looked at me and goes wick at this ball, 119 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 4: and I just exhaled and you know, held my breath 120 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 4: and then and behold, we got a wicket that ball, 121 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 4: And yeah, we all kind of came together, took a 122 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 4: moment and then yeah, I mean watching the replay, to 123 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: be honest, like it could have gone very badly. I mean, like, 124 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: you know, ash Ganna could have she might not have 125 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: got a throw right, it could have been overthrow. 126 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: Its like so much could have happened. 127 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 4: But for us to really execute such a crucial moment, 128 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, it was incredible. 129 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: And like I was, I was speaking to Cheats last night. 130 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 4: We went out for dinner afterwards, and she just remembers 131 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: going up to ash and asking her like, Okay, what 132 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 4: are we doing here, Like what's your plan? 133 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: And She's like, I'm trying to hit the hole. 134 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: She's trying to get under the bat and Cheets is like, Okay, sweet, 135 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: you've just mis executed. 136 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: That's fine, keep back in your plan. 137 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: And so just for those two to have a moment 138 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 4: like that, just for Ash to just really gain clarity 139 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 4: and then really execute when it counted, I think it's just, 140 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 4: you know, just goes to show the leader that she 141 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: is and being able to execute under pressure. 142 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: She's just world class. 143 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean the coolest part of like I guess, 144 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 4: I guess a game like that is almost a debrief 145 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 4: and like chatting to each individual player and going all right, 146 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: how were you feeling. 147 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: Like, what was your perspective on it?

Honestly, I feel 155 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 4: like that was their plan, was to kind of back away. 156 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 4: Obviously we saw that's what Wellow tried to do and 157 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 4: fortunately missed it. But yeah, we I guess I knew 158 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 4: that it was probably gonna come my way, which is 159 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: why I did take that moment to really kind of 160 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 4: feel it, because when we came together, Mitch just said, girls, 161 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 4: get behind it, asked to the grass like you got 162 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 4: to get down no matter what happened. So I really 163 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 4: I was like physically trying to stay low as well. Yeah, yes, 164 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 4: I mean I don't know if Yeah, I mean I 165 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: was ready, but glad it didn't come to me. 166 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 2: It was as I said, it was a chaotic probably 167 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: the last forty five minutes, if we were to be honest, 168 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: But it looked like you're in total control, and then 169 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 2: the Strikers just had this this purple patch that got 170 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: them from being no chance to really being almost certain 171 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: to win when you need four runs from the final 172 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: three balls. I'm interesting in your personality in that moment. 173 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: You had to bowl the second last over, so you 174 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: had a big part to play in it, and you 175 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: did do very very well. Are you calm in that situation? 176 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: Are you are you frantic? Are you nervous or are 177 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: you excited? What are the sort of emotions going through 178 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: your mind? Because you did hold it together really well. 179 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I knew that that moment was coming. 180 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 4: I was probably you know, I was trying to take 181 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 4: some deep breaths when I was down. I was down 182 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 4: at long on and I was, yeah, I could see that, 183 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: you know, they were scoring quite big overs, and I 184 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 4: was like, I know, I'm going to come on soon. 185 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: And I was just trying to calm myself down because 186 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 4: I could feel I could feel myself kind of getting 187 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: a little bit stressed, like my heart rate was increasing. 188 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 3: I was, I was feeling the fatigue and so just. 189 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 4: Really taking exhales, like being really diligent with that to 190 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 4: calm myself for that moment. And yeah, when I got 191 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: the call up that I was going to bowl the nineteenth, 192 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 4: I knew it was probably going to be a very 193 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 4: big over. And yeah, there was there was a moment 194 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 4: of calmness I had. There was Ash that came up 195 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 4: to me. She was on the drive. 196 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: You know. 197 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 4: We spoke about the plan. We wanted to go slow 198 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 4: and wide because we knew how strong they were square. 199 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 4: So that was the plan and that worked really well. 200 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: But it's really hard to not get too same same. 201 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 4: So then we tried to hit the hole. Unfortunately I 202 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 4: missed that one, and that's where I leaked a boundary 203 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: early and I could tell that they were also reading 204 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 4: the plan that I was going to bowl, which was 205 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 4: that slow and wide. So you know, Willow started almost 206 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 4: like two stumps outside off and so there was one 207 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 4: ball where I ran in. 208 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 3: I wasn't going to bowl it. 209 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 4: I just wanted to see how far over she was 210 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: going to move. There was definitely this like calmness and 211 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: clarity during that over, and I think that's definitely what helped. 212 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 4: And yeah, I remember running in, not bowling it, and 213 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 4: then just just sussing the vibe. And I remember Bridget Patterson, 214 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 4: she was a non strikers and she goes, was that 215 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 4: was that? 216 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: Was that for me? Or was that for her? And 217 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 3: I just gave enough. I was just like full tunnel vision, 218 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: like in the zone. Yeah, I was just feeling like 219 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 3: a pure and nasty fast year. I feel like something's 220 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 3: kind of yeah. 221 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 4: Come over me this season and I've just really dialed 222 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: in and and just got no distraction. So I think 223 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 4: in a moment like that, having clarity is so crucial 224 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 4: to execute under pressure. And yeah, the other boundary that leaked, 225 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 4: I think I went for nine that over. It was 226 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 4: two boundaries and a single. But the yeah, it was 227 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 4: it was kind of it was unfortunate that that one 228 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 4: leaked down at third because I thought we could have 229 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 4: chased that. 230 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 3: Down, And yeah, I was really happy with how I 231 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 3: executed it. 232 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 4: But yeah, I guess leading into the last over with eighteen, 233 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 4: I was I was very calm and very glad that 234 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 4: we had eighteen to play with, and then obviously it 235 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 4: unfolded into a little bit tireder than we would what 236 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: we would have liked. 237 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 3: But it was just it's so cool to be able 238 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: to give it an. 239 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: Opportunity like that, to bowl in such a pressure moment. 240 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 4: It I guess I could yet off the back of 241 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 4: last year not being able to contribute as much to 242 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 4: now like really being one of the key bowlers for 243 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 4: our team. I think, Yes, it's just an awesome opportunity 244 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 4: and I'm really relishing in it. 245 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: And the reality is that on a small ground like 246 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: North Sydney, where you can score boundaries so easily, you 247 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: can actually bowl good balls that go for four on 248 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: a regular basis. So having that I guess perspective and 249 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: calmness and having very experienced players around you just to 250 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: keep reminding you is it's very important. 251 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. 252 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 4: Nol Sydney is absolutely notorious for boundaries and whether you're 253 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: batting or bowling, you just are always in the game 254 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 4: no matter what. So yeah, I guess even I guess 255 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 4: from their perspective, knowing to stay calm and good cricket 256 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 4: shots can go to the boundary. 257 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: And yeah, I guess. 258 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: That's one of the it's a love hate relationship with 259 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 4: Nold Sydney. Like, I absolutely love it. It's our home ground. 260 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 4: It's probably my favorite place to play cricket. But I 261 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 4: guess it's such a brutal ground and that it is 262 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 4: very boundary. 263 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 3: Have you so non super bowler friendly. 264 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 2: So you've taken eleven wickets for the season an economy 265 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: rate of about seven point five, So they're excellent figures, 266 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: I think, particularly the economy rate for what you bowl. 267 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: What has seen you become the play you've become this year, 268 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 2: Other than discovering the red mist of being a fast bowler. 269 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 4: I guess yeah, I just put it down to clarity 270 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 4: and intention and intensity as well. I think, like I 271 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 4: touched on before, it was really struggling last year with injury. 272 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 4: It was really disruptive and if I'm being honest, like 273 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 4: I didn't have any self belief or. 274 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 3: Confidence, and yeah, I kind of got to. 275 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 4: The end of the season and really reflected on that 276 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 4: and had some really crucial conversations with Pete Clark, our 277 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 4: Breakers coach and Six's assistant coach, and I kind of 278 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 4: not vented, but I expressed how I was feeling last 279 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: year and he kind of he didn't give me any 280 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 4: sympathy back, and he just said, well, why don't you 281 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: just try to be the best cricket you've ever been? 282 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: Like why are you limiting yourself. 283 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 4: To getting back to where you were or trying to 284 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 4: become a past version of yourself? And for me, it 285 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: was like a bit of a light bulb moment. I 286 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 4: was like, yeah, that's actually so true, Like why why 287 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 4: not exploit like what I can become? And yeah, it 288 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 4: kind of it actually really helped me draw a line 289 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 4: in last year and I just went into this season, 290 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 4: this preseason in particular, with like a lot of clarity 291 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 4: and goals, and one of the goals was to bowl 292 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 4: as fast as I can and that came. 293 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: With working with the S and C. 294 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 4: We tracked all of my run up speeds, all my 295 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 4: bowling speeds, and that was really good because it gave 296 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: me like gave me an indication of trends and like 297 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: what intensity I need to be running in at And 298 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 4: it also kept me really accountable to like maintaining a 299 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 4: certain quality throughout my whole training session. I think sometimes 300 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 4: not having those objective measures, you can just go through 301 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 4: the ebbs and flows of training, whereas I'm like, I've 302 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: got a radar. I know if I'm putting an effort 303 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 4: or I know if I'm slacking off. So being able 304 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: to kind of like challenge myself in maintaining those ball 305 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 4: speeds for a whole session, I think sets a standard 306 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 4: of intensity. And the way you train is the way 307 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 4: you play. So being able to have that Yeah, So 308 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: honestly like very much process focused. I feel like I'm 309 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 4: being really intense right now. 310 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: But I'm it's good. It's great insight. Yeah, it's great. 311 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: I'm just really like I feel like it's. 312 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: And I've spoken to a couple of the Victorians about 313 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: this around fast bowling, and it it feels to me 314 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: that it's still untapped as to where you can take 315 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: that part of the game too. We've seen the real 316 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: development of the fielding in women's greet We've seen batting 317 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: clearly get crazy levels with some of the things that 318 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: they can do, but I feel like fast bowlings the 319 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: one that can can go to another level. And just 320 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: even you talking about this is it's exciting because you 321 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: are one of the fastest bowlers in Australian creek and 322 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: that's good. 323 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, no objectively too. 324 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 4: I went and chatted to our analyst and I was like, 325 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 4: all right, what are the speeds across the board? And 326 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 4: I've got the fastest speed of the Aussies, so that's 327 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 4: pretty cool. But yeah, I think with that as well, 328 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 4: I guess I totally agree. 329 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: I think it's untapped. 330 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 4: I think it's really hard to not get injured as 331 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: a fast bowler as well. It's such a unique thing 332 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 4: and I think that's where's that senc and strength kind 333 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 4: of comes into it as well as the training intensity 334 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 4: matching you're playing intensity because I reckon something I spoke 335 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 4: to the psych about because I was like, I feel 336 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 4: like I'm flying, I'm really anxious to get injured. And 337 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 4: I was really struggling with that because I was like, 338 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 4: and he just said to me, you've never trained you've 339 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 4: probably never trained that this intensity before and it's going 340 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: to match the way you play, and I think having 341 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 4: security in knowing that I'm going to be at the 342 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 4: same level no matter kind of where I'm playing, where 343 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: I'm training, whereas I reckon that in the past, Not 344 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 4: that I've been complacent, but I reckon that's that's a thing. 345 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 4: It's like you get used to training at this certain 346 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 4: level and then the game, intensity, the the adrenaline, everything 347 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 4: kind of steps it up for you, so you kind 348 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 4: of like put your body in this new space of like, yeah, 349 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 4: intensity and workload. 350 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 3: So being able to feel confident in. 351 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 4: That, I think has really kept me physically well because 352 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 4: I reckon that's that's the biggest challenge with fastball, as 353 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 4: we break down so much, and I reckon That's been something. 354 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 4: But you know, I've also played around when I play around, Yeah, 355 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 4: I played around with like caffeine, like up in caffeine 356 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 4: dosage in training in particular, so I can kind of 357 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 4: maintain that intensity and just kind of like. 358 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 3: Have a little bit of a boost with it. So 359 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: it's yeah, it's like part of my room. Yeah, it 360 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: actually is as. 361 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 4: Part of my routine now when I'm playing is Yeah, 362 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 4: whatever format is, it's a coffee, whether it's an energy 363 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 4: drink or a caffeine tab like yeah, kind of upping 364 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 4: my intensity with the help of that has honestly been 365 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 4: such a game changer, Like yeah, being able to feel 366 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 4: really up for the competition, like really dialed in. I 367 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 4: can just I honestly really do feel it. So that's 368 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 4: been something that I've never really tapped into before. So 369 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 4: I think that all the little one percent is of like, 370 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 4: all right, this is my goal, like how am I 371 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 4: going to get there? 372 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: And what can I what is the most I can 373 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 3: do to get there? 374 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 2: It sounds even sorry, it sounds even talking to you 375 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 2: that it's quite a motivating thing to have this point 376 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: of difference, to see where it can take you. You know, 377 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: we often think about mystery spinners, or we think about 378 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 2: that is that I've got all these funky different shots, 379 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 2: But that whole thing about that speed thing is is 380 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: something that is I think in the women's game of 381 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 2: point of difference. I've spoken to familiar about this. You 382 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 2: know that it's it's exciting when you've got something that's 383 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: a bit different and a bit and I use the 384 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: word untapped, but to really embrace that to see where 385 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: it can take you. And I also think it's a 386 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: long question this, but I also think that it's fair 387 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: to feel a little bit vulnerable or a little bit 388 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: nervous from an injury point of view, because we've seen 389 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: so many of our fast bowlers have issues when they've 390 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: really tried to, you know, to push the limits. 391 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent, And I think that's why. 392 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, you know, I'm tapping into S 393 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 4: and C, I'm tapping into the nutrition, US. I need 394 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: to connect with the psych a bit more because I 395 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 4: think mindset mindset shift has been a big part of 396 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 4: my success this season as well. So yeah, I guess 397 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: expressing to him my concerns around injury and getting his 398 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 4: perspective on it was definitely reassuring and it almost Yeah, 399 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 4: it definitely did go towards that motivation. I was like, yeah, 400 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 4: that's so true, and also has kept me really accountable 401 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 4: to the way I go about training as well. So 402 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: knowing that, yeah, being really really purposeful in what I'm 403 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 4: doing is just being key. But yeah, it definitely is 404 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 4: cool having that point of difference. Yeah, I think, like, 405 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 4: for instance, that Aussie squad is such a tough, tough 406 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 4: side to crack, and I feel like you can't get 407 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 4: away with just being a medium fastballer these days, and 408 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 4: I think it's also cool just to be able to, 409 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 4: you know, step up the competition and really compete, because, 410 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 4: like you said, that as are evolving, how can I 411 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 4: continue to compete with that and up in the intensity 412 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 4: and speed I think is going to really challenge them. 413 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 4: So it's also been really nice to have a few 414 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 4: wickets with a bit of nip in it as well, 415 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 4: So being able to chuck in, you know, wobble seem 416 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 4: variation and things like that has also been a real 417 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 4: development that I've seen across the board of fastballers. 418 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: Great insights. Maitland love it. It's awesome. Great to he 419 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: is sharing you're into thoughts with us. I think it's fantastic. 420 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about your relationship with 421 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: Amerely Kerr because we had Amelia on last week and 422 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: she spoke so glowingly of you. But I do want 423 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: to talk because it is related to what we've just 424 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: been speaking about. I think someone like the least pairing 425 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 2: your team, it's the obvious person to talk about because 426 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: of her statue in the game and the fact that 427 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 2: she bowls similarly to you. There's also you've got other 428 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: Australian players in your team, but you know, to tap 429 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: into that experience about what it's like to be a 430 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 2: high level cricketer. How much do you use those teammates 431 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: to make you the player you want to become. 432 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 4: I think yeah, I mean Amilia is probably one of 433 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 4: the greatest humans in my life, to be honest. 434 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 3: I think the way that she sees the game from 435 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 3: a like off field perspective. 436 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: Obviously she's a fierce competitor and she's a world class player, 437 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 4: but just her landscape on the result and just really 438 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 4: emphasizing being a good human I think really helps a 439 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 4: perspective whether you have a good day or a bad day. 440 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: And I think that's been the biggest takeaway, And you know, 441 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 4: it's one of the reasons why I play cricketers for 442 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 4: that connection piece, Like connection is a value of mine 443 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 4: and I just think it's, yeah. 444 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: It's so important to really embrace that. 445 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 4: And I've just really loved the friendship that we've built, 446 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 4: and she just makes playing crickets so fun and when 447 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 4: you're having fun, I think cricket can be really easy. 448 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 4: So yeah, it's amazing having people like her in our squad, 449 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 4: and yeah, obviously at least Perry ashgard Nali's hilly, Like, 450 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 4: We've got this group of world class players in our team, 451 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 4: so to be able to train with them and compete 452 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 4: with them in the nets, I think, yeah, it is 453 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 4: so good for my development as a cricketer, you know, 454 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 4: bollowing at Ash, bowing at Midge and Pears in the 455 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 4: nets like it is. You've got to land it on 456 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: the on the money otherwise you're gonna get whacked. And yeah, 457 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: unfortunately I've copped a few straight back at me to Midge, 458 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 4: so I almost. 459 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: Want to bowl short and wide so she doesn't hurt me. 460 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 4: But yeah, having players like that in our squad are 461 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: great fear development as a cricket, obviously with the competing 462 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 4: with world class, but yeah, just a group of good 463 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 4: humans I think is the best thing in terms of 464 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 4: finding that perspective. 465 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: So you've gone through ups and downs a team this 466 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 2: year and as it turns out you've made it through 467 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: to the finals. How important it is to have those 468 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 2: experienced heads to keep you guys up when you need 469 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 2: to perhaps be lifted up, and then to keep your 470 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 2: level when you might be getting ahead of yourselves. 471 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think last game was a great example of that. 472 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: You know, we saw Midge coming up to Ash really 473 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 4: talking through you know, her plans. Just really strong messaging 474 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 4: and communication has definitely been a theme throughout, you know, 475 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 4: pez her perspective on the game as she's been around 476 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 4: the longest, probably so her insights mid game, whenever we 477 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 4: take a weekend, she's always got something to say. And yeah, 478 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 4: I just think it's so amazing to be able to 479 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 4: have experience like that enough squad and it. 480 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 3: Definitely helps in those high pressure moments. We've still got 481 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: a bit of fine tuning to do. 482 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 4: We haven't played our best game of cricket yet, which 483 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 4: is kind of scary, so hopefully we save best till 484 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 4: second last and hopefully last as well. But yeah, I 485 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: mean it's yeah, you can't experience, so yeah, they're just 486 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 4: their inputs and what they add to the team. 487 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 3: It's just incredible. 488 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about that, about just where 489 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: you stand as a team at the moment, because you know, 490 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 2: the Hurricanes are out on top of it. They've pretty 491 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: much played great cricket the whole way through, but we 492 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: I kind of feel like we've seen their best. We 493 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: know what that looks like whereas I look at the 494 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: sixers who finished second, I don't know what your best 495 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 2: looks like here, because I have a suspicion has been 496 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: played yet, which must be exciting but also frustrating that 497 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: you haven't been able to deliver a level of consistency 498 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: through the tournament. 499 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually. 500 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 4: Really interesting because we've obviously we've got a fantastic squad 501 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: on paper, and we show really great glimpses, like you know, 502 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 4: obviously we started so well. 503 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 3: There's been so many games where we've. 504 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 4: Had teams like four for forty and then they've built partnerships. 505 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 4: So we're still trying to work out exactly why that is. 506 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 4: I don't know whether it's complacency. 507 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 3: I don't think it is. I think, honestly just think 508 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 3: teach twenty. 509 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 4: Cricket's so fickle, and sometimes big overs then lead into 510 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 4: a search, then the search changes the momentum, and then 511 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 4: we kind of are scrapping away. So I think it's 512 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 4: honestly just as simple as you know, limiting the big 513 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 4: overs and making them not as big and then trying 514 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 4: to really just compete with. 515 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 3: The momentum when that starts to turn. 516 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, I think we've got the experience 517 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 4: in the squad to do it, and yeah, it's I mean, yeah, 518 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 4: I think we can match the Hurricanes for sure, Like 519 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 4: we did it in Hobart when we came up against 520 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 4: the last time. 521 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 3: You know, we didn't play out, we didn't get enough 522 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 3: runs on. 523 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 4: The board, but we knew that we could compete with 524 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 4: the ball and we had to take wickets and when 525 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 4: it came down to it, yeah, we ended up rolling them. 526 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 3: So I think we've definitely got the potential. 527 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a good point. The fact that 528 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 2: you have been one of the teams that's beaten the 529 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: Hurricane shows that that you're not going to really necessarily 530 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 2: be scared by anybody. I want to ask you away 531 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: from your cricket a little bit for a moment about 532 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: your podcast, which is clearly in threat with the ours here. 533 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: So I'm not sure why I'm giving you the cross 534 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 2: promotion opportunity, but you've got a podcast called She's in 535 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 2: the Game with Anna Darlington. So from the other mob 536 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: down the road in the grain, talk to us about 537 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: how it started and why you enjoy doing something like 538 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: this away from cricket. 539 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, So we have been doing the pod for almost 540 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 4: three years now, which is exciting, and we've been doing 541 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: everything by ourselves, which is also super rewarding, but really 542 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 4: tough at times, especially at the moment during Big Bash, 543 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 4: it can be really hectic, So to produce her own 544 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 4: podcasts and schedule time to do episodes is a bit tough, 545 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 4: and Hand at the moment is unfortunately dealing with injury, 546 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 4: so we've kind of taken a little step back. But yeah, 547 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 4: I mean doing the podcast is one of the most 548 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 4: rewarding things that we do. Being able to have an 549 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 4: impact on the game and tell stories and share insights 550 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 4: as to what it's like as a female professional cricketer. 551 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 4: You know, we get our teammates on and tell their 552 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 4: story and journey, and being able to connect with fans, 553 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 4: young girls in particular, and parents saying, you know, we 554 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 4: put the podcast on in the car on the way 555 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 4: to the game on the weekend. And yeah, just I 556 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 4: guess thinking about when I was younger, and same with Hand, like, 557 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 4: we didn't have platforms that really showcase I guess female 558 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 4: athletes or female cricketers in particular, So being able to 559 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 4: provide a platform that does that, I think is amazing 560 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 4: and Yeah, there's honestly, there there's no beef with the 561 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 4: search because we're all about like encouraging more and more 562 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 4: females to kind of tell their story and build their platform. 563 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: And yeah, I just think the more people we can 564 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 3: get doing it, I think the better we are as 565 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 3: a as a group together as female athletes and cricketers. 566 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 3: So yeah, check it out. 567 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 4: Well. 568 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 2: I mean it's a credit to what you're doing as 569 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: someone that's been doing this for too many years. I'm 570 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: a very old person these days, but also in my 571 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 2: role in another in another world, which is media training athletes, 572 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 2: the fact that you've actually taken it upon yourself to 573 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 2: actually go and do something like this yourself, I think 574 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: he is really really important because what you're doing is 575 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: exactly what we try and encourage athletes to do, and 576 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: that is to share your journey with the fan, to 577 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: inspire and also to make it easier to understand what 578 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: you actually do to become a professional athlete. 579 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. 580 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 4: And I think what's so cool as well is that 581 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 4: we get some of our teammates on and they've never 582 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 4: been on a podcast before, so to be able to, 583 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 4: I guess one provide that platform and be able to 584 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 4: create a really comfortable environment for them for their first 585 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 4: time to tell their story. I think is one of 586 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 4: the really unique things that we have as a platform. 587 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 4: But yeah, just for them, encouraging like like you said, 588 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 4: encouraging them to tell their story. And yeah, there's so 589 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 4: many aspects that are really rewarding, not only giving back 590 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 4: to the fans, but you know, for us personally and 591 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 4: for our teammates as well. 592 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 2: Do you understand or because it sounds like you do, 593 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: the response ability of being a professional athlete with being 594 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: that role model, being a hero to the younger generation 595 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: coming through Because you're still very young yourself, so to 596 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: understand that responsibility is sort of maturity beyond your years 597 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. 598 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're so privileged to be able to 599 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 4: have a platform where we can, you know, be on TV, 600 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 4: play this entertaining brand of cricket and Big Bash in particular, 601 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 4: being able to appeal to a younger generation I think 602 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 4: is amazing and I would encourage more of my fellow 603 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 4: teammates to take the opportunity to tell your own story. 604 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 4: I think it's really powerful and it's really cool to 605 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 4: see the impact that something so small can have on someone, 606 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 4: And yeah, I just think back to my younger self 607 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 4: and how much I would have enjoyed being able to 608 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 4: connect with fans. And I think that's something so unique 609 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 4: to WBBL as well, is that we have that real 610 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 4: intimate like connection with the fans. And you know, we 611 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 4: love sticking around and chatting because we know how much 612 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 4: it means to means to the younger girls int ticula 613 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 4: showing up and supporting us and encouraging them to chase 614 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 4: their dream I think, yeah, so, yeah, it's an incredible 615 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 4: privilege and I love doing it. 616 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 2: It's going to sound very controversial, but I think female 617 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: athletes are much better than male athletes in being comfortable 618 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: in sharing how they're feeling, even some of the things 619 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: that you were sharing with us earlier. It's personal at times, 620 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: and it can be quite private, but in sharing it, 621 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 2: I feel that it's actually good. It's actually a good 622 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 2: thing for you as an athlete to do that, but 623 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 2: also what it does is for a fan, it's much 624 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: easier to connect and to relate to you when you're 625 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 2: actually are sharing your life. 626 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 4: Essentially, Yeah, I agree, and it's probably just because we 627 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 4: kind of come from different I guess upbringings or just 628 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 4: in terms of social structures and things like that. I 629 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 4: think like, yeah, as a young female sports person growing up, 630 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 4: like there weren't any male there weren't any female athletes 631 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 4: to kind of look up to idolize. It was all 632 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 4: just and you know, I think we also, I guess 633 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 4: in the last ten years, we've transitioned from like a 634 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 4: semi professional environment to professional, So knowing how important the 635 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 4: impact was when we're trying to grow the game only 636 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 4: ten years ago to now, I think that's probably why 637 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 4: we still understand how important it is. Where I think 638 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 4: with the I guess male male side of the game, 639 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 4: like they've already got that established audience. I don't really 640 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 4: need to put themselves out there to encourage people to 641 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 4: watch because it's just kind of you know, they've been 642 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 4: able to have the marketing, more eyes on the TV 643 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 4: and then things like that. So we know how important 644 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 4: it is as an individual to grow the game like 645 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 4: our impact. I feel like that's probably why we lean 646 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 4: into it a little bit more. 647 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: I think you are spot on. I think you're absolutely 648 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: spot on. All right, now we've got you're going to 649 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 2: help me today because we've got our burning questions brought 650 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 2: to you by Weber, which are all the hot topics 651 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 2: to discuss from what's been an amazing weekend of WBBL, 652 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 2: but probably more so moving forward towards what to expect 653 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: this week. So you've got the Challenger which is at 654 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: North Sydney Oval. It's gonna be a big match, but 655 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 2: we don't know who it's going to be, the Scorches 656 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: or the Stars. So my controversial question for you, my 657 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 2: burning question or to you buy whether it is who 658 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 2: would you prefer to play? 659 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 4: I'd prefer to play the Stars because I think about 660 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 4: the fact that they have to get on a flight 661 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 4: today and play, and then they have to get on 662 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 4: a flight and the flight's over in Perth, So I think, yeah, 663 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 4: knowing that, plus they've come off a couple of losses, 664 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 4: I reckon in terms of yeah, where they're at as 665 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 4: a site, I think they're more vulnerable, whereas the Scorch 666 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 4: is probably comfortable just chilling in Perth. They've had a 667 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 4: couple of days over there to settle into the Whacker. 668 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 4: You know, they've got moons to fine. They've got a 669 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 4: very strong squad, so I mean we smash them in 670 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 4: their first game, so it doesn't matter who we come 671 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 4: up again, Steven being honest, but yeah, I think we 672 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 4: can compete with whoever. 673 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 3: But yeah, to answer the burning question, I'll go to 674 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 3: Stars just because. 675 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: Well, usually I would have Kirby Short in here with 676 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 2: me as co host, but she's had to go to 677 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: Perth with the Stars. She wouldn't answer it as well 678 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 2: as you did, so well done. Congratulations, great answer. What 679 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: about in your eyes, who has been the player of 680 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 2: the tournament to this point. 681 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 4: I mean it's hard to go past the iconic duo 682 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 4: of Danny White and Lozelle Hurricane. Yeah, they've really steered 683 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 4: the Hurricanes to a really successful season. So yeah, although 684 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 4: actually you know what changed my mind, Georgia Warem. 685 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 2: Yes, good answer. 686 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 3: That was a quick yeah, George run score a wicked taker. 687 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 4: She's just stepped it up and she absolutely crushed my 688 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 4: soul when we played them, So shout out Wolfe, love you. 689 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 2: She has had a great season, even at fielding and 690 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 2: she's sort of done it and a captaincy at times, 691 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 2: she's sort of been had the full set. Okay, My 692 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 2: last question, the last question, the last burning question for weever, 693 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 2: who is the hardest person you have to bowl to 694 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 2: who's the one that when you see them the crazy thing? 695 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 2: Oh no, this is a setback. 696 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 4: Honestly, it has to be between Meg Lenning and Lizzelli. 697 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 4: I reckon they're just Yeah, both of them are so 698 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 4: annoying to bowler because one, Lizzelle doesn't matter where it is, she's. 699 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 3: Going to swing so hard. And yeah, I mean same 700 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 3: with Meg. 701 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 4: But Meg's movement around the crease I think is just 702 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 4: really hard to bowler because even if you target the stumps, 703 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 4: if she backs away, she's got that good a hand 704 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 4: eye coordination. It's like gives herself room fifth stump. May 705 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 4: as well just bowl it outside off. 706 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? 707 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 2: Yep, yep answer, I have to flip a coin. Yeah, 708 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 2: that's okay. You can have two. You can have too. 709 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 2: So they were our burning questions brought to you by 710 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 2: Weather Maitland Brown helping us through those. Now before we 711 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 2: let you go, this is going to be the biggest 712 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 2: test of this entire interview, because I have heard that 713 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 2: you've got chickens. You look at backyard. Can you show 714 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: us out? We'll see you're at home.

Ebanie is Crystal, the little baby. 723 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 4: Chicky's mum, Chicky. Wait, let me turn around. 724 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 2: Chick, chick, chick.

How can you 731 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 2: tell them apart. 732 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 3: Because they're just slightly different colored? 733 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 4: Right? 734 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 3: What about if I go up here and I'll follow me. 735 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: They're not following. 736 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 2: Usually they are like a cage or like a like 737 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 2: a cop or something like that. These are just not 738 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: wild in the backyard, are they? 739 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 4: Yeah?

I'm not sure what's more 752 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 2: impressive at bowling or the fact that she's got all 753 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 2: those chickens in the backyard, but it was great to 754 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 2: see her. How refreshing is it so honest and so 755 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 2: open about her quest.
