1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Time for barriers bits. Well, good morning, hey guys, finally here.

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: I know it feels like a long time coming. Yeah,

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: but as a sports lover, it feels really great, almost

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: an honor to host the first Ashes test in Perth.

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: Off the stadium.

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: We're already seeing the all the tourists walking down street

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: out of the studio window.

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: Here we know where they're going.

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Such a great vibe from Subi, you know, to the stadium, Lathlane, Rivervale.

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, everyone's staying in this precinct is sensational everywhere,

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: cricket fans walking past the studio.

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: As you said, you know who I feel sorry for?

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: Who? A worker who wakes up today and feels very

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: unwell and rings his boss and goes, hey mate, it's

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: really sick. You're going to have a hard time.

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Shut up, Joey, especially going to cricket. No, I'm really sick.

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: I want him sick day please. So, So it's a

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: real who's who too. I'll tell you this.

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: I'll go through the list of the people who are

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: here at the moment, amazing everyone anyone who's anyone in

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: Australia or English cricket is in Perth. So who wins

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: pretty tight, so many unknowns. Australia hasn't gone into a

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: big Test like this without two of their big four bowlers,

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: which is obviously Cummens and Hazelwood. So a real chance

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: for England. I reckon it's a sixty to forty game.

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: The Poms haven't won here since the seventies. Seventy eight

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: David Gower was playing.

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: Remember I remember him of the hair and elegant Star.

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: And there's two debutantes for Australia, Brendan Doggett and Jake Weatherall.

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: Actually we had Justin Langer on this morning and Justin

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: and I had a bit of a moment regarding Brendan Doggett.

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: Have listened to it. Listened to this moment.

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: Brendan Doggett like a greyhound. Wait this thing as fit

Speaker 2: And greyhound dogg.

00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:55,960

Speaker 3: Here if that makes the headline tomorrow when he takes

Speaker 3: five wickeards from the gohound dogg and I'll send you

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,520

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: They were just on fire, absolutely on fire. Look Out

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: for Ben Stokes's new shoes, bespoke cricket shoes.

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: What is bespoke mean? Please least made just for him?

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: Ah?

81
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: Is that? What have made yes for him?

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to be wearing these shoes with a

83
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: bird on the heel, which as a tribute to his

84
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: late dad Jed, and looks like a Serbian bird, you know,

85
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: like that Novak wears, you know, the sort of eagle. Yeah,

86
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: so look out for that. That'll be on the coverage.

87
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: But the classic for me was Steve Smith versus Monty Panasa.

88
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: I went to the media conference yesterday and Monty Panasar,

89
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: who's a former bowler for England, right spin bowler, not

90
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: very good. He got belted by Gilly one day, absolutely

91
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,119
Speaker 1: belted out of the whacker. Monty suggested that the English

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: should hound Smith about sampaper Gate, bring it all up again,

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: starts legging him, get stuck into him. So Smith he

94
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 1: was none too happy about that, and he said, mate,

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: you shouldn't listen to that bloke. Did you see him

96
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: on Celebrity Mastermind? And we went no, we didn't, actually

97
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: what happened? So he must have an IQ about fifteen Monty,

98
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: because I haven't listened to some of the answers he

99
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: come up with. He thought Athens was in Germany, he

100
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: thought Oliver Twist was a season, and he even thought

101
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: America was a city.

102
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: Just let's have a bit of a listener.

103
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: This is a yeah, who have you in the room

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: have seen Mastermind and Monty Panasar on that? Any of you? Yeah, Well,

105
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: those of you have you'll understand where I'm coming from.

106
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: And those of you haven't do yourself a favor because

107
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 4: it's pretty comical.

108
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: In which city is the olympir Study On, built for

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy two Olympics and where Germany's national football

110
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: team pleayed international matches until two.

111
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: Thousand and one. Roads lead to Perth Stadium today, would

112
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: I be right, Barrah?

113
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm calling it Optus Stadium. I don't care, Mad,

114
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: I've gone out and been a rebel. It's Optus today

115
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: for me. I was just a big cheerio to for

00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: are good. I like that.

120
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: Did you see the BBC crew there yesterday? Because it's

Speaker 1: been taken over by the tour and froms because.

00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,800

123
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: Is that what it sounds like? Well?

124
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: Yes it does, yeah, yeah, thanks.

00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: the poms think it's the funniest thing ever and they're

131
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: they started our country. I guess look AFL draft right

132
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: they did land it. You've got a few convicts.

133
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: And what else is going on there?

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Right on to the draft Big week and there's a

135
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: kid by the name of Charlie Banfields, son of Drew

136
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: Banfield and Amber.

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: But his dad right.

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Two sixty five games to the Eagles, two flags, all right,

139
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: club champion, number one draft pick, Rookie of the Year,

140
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: best clubman, any danger.

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: The Eagles that pick him? Please? He's gone of the Saints.

142
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: I can't believe it, and honestly can't believe it. Otherwise

143
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

144
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: They just ran out of picks. They didn't have enough spots.

145
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: So Eagles otherwise did pretty well. Kobe Evans, though, was

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: in their NNGA Next Generation Academy and he's gone to Brisbane,

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: so they missed him. But they got Willem Durzmar, who's

148
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: a very good dancer by the way, and good mates

149
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: with Harley. He looks really good, rock forward, Cooper duff

150
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Titler he looks really good and Josh Lindsay very good kick.

151
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: So overall, would you say they've done well out of

152
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: the drive very very well.

153
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, apart from Banfield, So twenty thirty should be winning

154
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: the flag.

155
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: It's good if I'm still around, hold me to it.
