00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: Australia's cricketers as they take on the world. Hello everyone,

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: welcome to The Unplayable Podcast. We are here at the

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Gabba for Day three and it's been Australia's day, no

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: bones about it. They were all over England today and

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: they now lead the game. They're a head of England

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: still by forty three runs after the beginning of the

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: day forty four runs ahead, so not a lot has

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: really changed in terms of the deficit Loo, but a

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: lot happened out there today.

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: Well everything changed today.

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 3: I mean, when we look back at the history of

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 3: this yeraries, this might be the day where we think

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: Australia won the Ashes. Potentially it might be a big call,

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: but Australia are barring any big kickup tomorrow or odds

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: on to take a two neil lead in this series.

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: No team.

20
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: I think there's been one team since in Ash's history

21
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: that's come back from too nil down and NASH series

22
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: England nearly did it in twenty twenty three.

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 2: But Mitchell Stark superhuman. He's put him on the brink.

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: He's done it again, not with the ball this time,

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: but with the bat. Seventy seven he got today, his

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: highest score in nine years. He didn't bother to raise

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: the bat when he walked off. It was a sort

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: of a job done mentality. But he batted for two

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: and a half hours after the loss of Carry and Lisa.

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: Earlier in the day looked like Australa's lead was going

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: to be around about one hundred runs, but he put

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: on the longest ninth wicket partnership at the gap of

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: all time with Scott Boland and really ground England into

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: the dust here. They wanted to keep England out during

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: the sunlight hours and they did that to perfection.

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: Really, by the.

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: Time Australia were bowling, the lights were coming on and

38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: the sun was going down, and it was all straight

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: from that.

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: Well and you said, not with the ball, but jee

41
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: he was incredible under lights with the ball later on,

42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, we can do it in chronological

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: order if you loan, Yeah, Josh, you know, it was

44
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: you know, and kind of skipped the World Final hour

45
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: for now and come back to it. But yeah, I

46
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: mean Stark's had curious batting career, hasn't He like seventy

47
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: seven of one hundred and forty one today and as

48
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: he pointed out, it was just his second half century

49
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: in the last decade. So yeah, basically he's almost gone.

50
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: I think he went nine years without passing fifty. It's

51
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: interesting looking back at his batting career. Nine fifties in

52
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: his first fifty two Test innings in February twenty seventeen,

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: his batting average was above twenty five.

54
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: He only made one.

55
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 3: Fifty in his next eighty nine Test innings, and then

56
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: he's bounced back a little bit this year with two

57
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: fifties in his next in his most recent ten innings,

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: so things are on the improved with his bat.

59
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: And it was a really clever innings I thought today.

60
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: Like England Bob Pauley.

61
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: I thought when he first came out to bat, they

62
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: hadn't taken the new ball yet, and he got some

63
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: loose stuff and he was twenty off just about as

64
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: many balls there at the start. Alex Carry then departs

65
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: to the second U ball and Scott Bowling comes out,

66
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: and I mean if anything sums up the difference between

67
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: these two teams. Man for man, I don't think that

68
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: there's that much difference in talent, particularly when you take

69
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: Cummins and Hazeld out of these out of that Australian team.

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: But Australia's willingness to adapt their batting to the condition,

71
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: so Bolin comes out. Bowlin's a great blocker even at

72
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: the best of times. But they just shut up shot.

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: They just said, no, we want to be bowling under

74
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: lights later on. We're going to keep England out for

75
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: as long as possible with the bonus of making these

76
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: guys spell off the spell And we heard Michael Nice

77
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: just now in the press conference saying, I know how

78
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: hot it is at the Gabba, and you know, in

79
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: the in the hottest part of the day, and you

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: don't want to be bowling. Then well Australia kept them

81
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: out for longer and longer and longer, and by the

82
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: time they were bowling at night, well, it was a

83
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: it was a different story in terms of what the

84
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: pitch was like.

85
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and in terms of those tactics, because it was

86
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: a bit curious because England looked like they wanted to

87
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: give Stark the single, but because they were just batting

88
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: time effectively, he didn't take it for a lot. He

89
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: and star Sorry, he and Bowlin both battered for the

90
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: same amount of minutes, but Stark faced twice as many

91
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: balls as Bowling, so happy to take the dots and

92
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: turn down singles. And England didn't really adapt. They didn't

93
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: really bring the field up. They didn't really change a

94
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: whole lot from the outset. Maybe they were trying suddenly

95
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: different sort of things, but Stark and were able to absorb.

96
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: And again the overs just stacked up for these quicks.

97
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: Cast bowl twenty nine overs for the match for the innings,

98
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: Stokes bowl twenty four, Atkinson twenty eight and Arch to

99
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty five.

100
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: This is going to take a top.

101
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: It does just feel like Stokes has missed the creek

102
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: a little bit with his captaincy throughout this series.

103
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: That some of the tactics in the Perth game.

104
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean that's a great example because it's

105
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: the kind of thing where they should have been.

106
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: There would have been no secret.

107
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: We saw Marcus Trescothic in the press conference just now

108
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: identify exactly what Australia were doing. They were trying to

109
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: just bat and bat and bat and keep them out there. Well,

110
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: maybe you have to make Mitch Stark take a risk,

111
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: and you know, you bring fielders up and be prepared

112
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: to give some runs away in the pursuit of getting wicked.

113
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: I mean Stokes.

114
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 3: That's been Stokes's bread and butter during his captaincy of

115
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: the Baswell era. Their whole thing is been about crafty

116
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: ways of taking twenty wickets. We saw them do it

117
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: in Pakistan a few years ago on absolutely you know,

118
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: turgid surfaces much flatter than what they were bowling on

119
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: out absolute highways. Yeah, and they manufactured wickets with often

120
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: bowlers who weren't as quick as what they have now,

121
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 3: Like you look down the list and yeah, I know

122
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 3: they were tired, but Archer, Atkinson, Cass Stokes compared to

123
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: you know, I think back to those Pakistan Tests.

124
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: You know you had Robinson Anderson, Jimmy Anderson.

125
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if Broad kind of made that, but

126
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: obviously great bowlers, especially Jimmy. But you know, on really

127
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: flat wickets, I take the kind of one forty k

128
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: and hour guys that they have, but the stamina is

129
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: to be questioned, you know, draft Archer bolts and good

130
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: stuff at times, but particularly the starter spells. His pace

131
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: was dipping, but beneath one hundred and thirty k an

132
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: hour cars had an all time weired innings. It looked

133
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: like he was going to take the worst five wicket

134
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: hall of all time. He was all over the shop

135
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: At times. I kind of admired that he just kind

136
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: of kept fronting up and bowling mumbers and pounding and

137
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: softball into the wicket. But at times you kind of

138
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: wonder whether you know whether these guys are fit enough

139
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: to be to be for this tour.

140
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Basically, cast As four to one hundred and fifty two

141
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: were the most expensive figures by an English quick in

142
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: Australia in seventy one years. You have to go back

143
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: to Frank Tyson in nineteen to fifty four. I know

144
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: you're a big Frank Tyson, so not a great day

145
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: for him on that occasion. But when Australia were eventually

146
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: bowled out for five hundred and eleven, they'd kept England

147
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: in the field for one hundred and seventeen point three overs.

148
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: England came out as they always do with in tenth

149
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: and got to the dinner break at none for forty

150
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: five from only six overs. Crawley in particular had hit

151
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: the boundary on a couple of occasions. Looked good, look positive,

152
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: as he always does. But things take took a really

153
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: big turn straight after that break.

154
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it did. You're right.

155
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: They forty five off six overs, I think it was,

156
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: and it kind of just looked like, all right, game

157
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: on here, like this pitch is flattened out and that

158
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: was dark by you know, that was at the time

159
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: that they were batting so interesting that they came back

160
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: out and it was Dogg.

161
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: And Bowland who were the ones that kind of bring

162
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: it back.

163
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: Into it, you know, probably the secondary you know, new

164
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: ball bowls in particular, and that ball was still quite new.

165
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: They put Stark on ice for a little bit.

166
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: He was a little bit way within that first spell,

167
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: and I thought, you know, we'll talk about bowling a bit,

168
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: because he was the best I've seen him bowl all season,

169
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: including some Sheffield Shields stuff that I've kind of seen

170
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: him bowl a bit this season, and that was he

171
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: was just fantastic. But I thought DOGGTT was equally as good. Okay,

172
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: you know, really challenged both edges of the that challenged

173
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: Joe Root for the time that he was out there,

174
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: and it was just it just became.

175
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: It was just a master.

176
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: Class from the Australian bowlers from that point onwards. Once

177
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: they got they got through duck At, you know Pope again,

178
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: Streaky could have been out two or three times. Finally

179
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: gets out to the first of two Michael Nissa caught

180
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: in bowls and then it was it was kind of

181
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: on like Donkey Kong after that.

182
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: It was so Bolin got that first week at duck

183
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: At bowled when they kept maybe a little low in fact,

184
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: well the Fox broadcast said that it kept sixty centimeters

185
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: lower than it should have, so perhaps a little bit

186
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: of misfortune there for Duckett. But it was Ed Nissa

187
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: who took a couple of really fantastic court and bolts,

188
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: only a couple of overs apart. He had dropped that

189
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: one off Duckett, which he said just came a little

190
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: bit faster. But then he had his eye in because

191
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: he took Pope and then he took Crawley. Both of

192
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: England's set batters were then gone and the rot had begun.

193
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, a bit to pick apart, and it all happened

194
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: so quickly. I mean just on duckt averaging sixteenth for

195
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: the series yet to pass thirty. That's a massive kind

196
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: of loss for a guy who I thought could be

197
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: really successful. Got a couple of starts in Perth, didn't

198
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: they he did? Yeah, but you know, like eight, you know,

199
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: twenty one? What was at fifteen here? Harry Brook obviously

200
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: had that excellent innings on day one in Perth, but

201
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: he kind of hasn't been sided since there's but you know,

202
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: you don't want to take way too much from the

203
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 3: Aussie bowling because you know, once they kind of got

204
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: those two what was I think it was five for

205
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: thirty eight and I mean the final out was just wild.

206
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: Mitchell Stark comes back for that second or third spell

207
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: and his paces right up. He gets Joe Rude out

208
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: and it just kind of unleashes some craziness.

209
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Really felt like there was a moment there where well,

210
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking could this game end to night? Because

211
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: the wickets were really tumbling. He got rooted out for

212
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the eleventh time. He's only dismissed Johnny Besto on more occasions.

213
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: He's got Johnny out twelve times, and Ben Stokes and

214
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: Joe Rute now both tied for eleven from the champion

215
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: left arm quick, but yeah he was. I particularly enjoyed

216
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: his wicked of Jamie Smith again just jumping ahead, thought.

217
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: He out smarted him.

218
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: There he got him out or Austray got him out

219
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: with a short ball in Perth. And so here they

220
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: put Joshingless back onto the road, which men meant there

221
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: were three fielders out on the legs side boundary and

222
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: the first ball with that Stark bowl of full one,

223
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Smith's feet went nowhere, News caught behind.

224
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, yeah, Stark was kind of the

225
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: one to unlock it. But Boland through that, through that,

226
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: you know, that first part of that World Final hour

227
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: he had Brooke given out when he hadn't edge it.

228
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 2: Then the very next ball had him given not out

229
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: when he had edged it.

230
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: I think they were ozero from three the umpires because

231
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: they got the they got the Joe root one wrong

232
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: as well. But yeah, Bolin was bowling so well that

233
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: by the end of the day Ben Stokes was shielding

234
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: the strike, shielding Will jacks from the from the strike.

235
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: I mean Will Jackson's coming to this team as to

236
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: strengthen the batting, and Bolin was basically going so well

237
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 3: and has a formidable record against left handers too, I

238
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: should say, and Stokes is basically saying, no, I'm just

239
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: gonna take this and get us through to stumps.

240
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: Gee.

241
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, it's basically their entire top order punted

242
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: within you know, ninety minutes of play England. We just

243
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 3: keep thinking that they're destined to have one innings where

244
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: their bads ball kind of stuff just goes nuts. And

245
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: they just didn't give themself a chance, like if they'd

246
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: gotten through to stumps two or three down and you know,

247
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 3: had Yes, it was really hard and I think it

248
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: would have been really difficult to get through that final

249
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: session unscathed. But you just got to question some of

250
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: the lack of adaptability, the unwillingness to change anything about

251
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 3: the way they play. Yes, you have to have your

252
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: principles about the way you want to approach the game.

253
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: But the lessons is so that had three batting innings

254
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: before this to kind of realize that what they did

255
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: realize that they're playing on the two bouncy pitches in Australia.

256
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: That was I think Oli Pope said that before this game,

257
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: that that was something they knew and essentially that you know,

258
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: by by extension, you're probably not going to be able

259
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: to drive balls on the early in your innings like

260
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: I think once your phase forty fifty sixty balls, absolutely

261
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: you can, especially.

262
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: When you're batting during the daytime.

263
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 3: But it just the penny just hasn't dropped. Like Michael

264
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: Nice has had three caught in bold opportunity, he's in

265
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: the space of you know, four or five overs, like

266
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: what more. Yeah, I just I'm not sure when the

267
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: when the lesson is kind of going to be learnt.

268
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're batting. Coach Marcus just Gothics spoke at the

269
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: press conference and he said that there was no discussion

270
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: about driving on the app after Perth, which you know,

271
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: fair enough, but.

272
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: Well is it fair enough though, but like you know,

273
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: like there's no discussion about it. I understand, like he said,

274
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: we don't have a knee jerk reaction. Surely they're having

275
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: a discussion about it, Like surely it's not all just

276
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: like we're going to fling your balls in the nets

277
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: and you're going to try and hit them for six

278
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: and do whatever you want. We back your talent, blah

279
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: blah blah, like surely there's a discussion about driving on

280
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: the up and it might just be, yeah, we can't

281
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: do it in our first thirty balls, or we can't

282
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: do it in our first forty balls. I know they

283
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: don't like negative, negative mindsets. I don't like limiting players.

284
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: I think that's a really good way of coaching, to

285
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 3: be fair, Like, you don't want to tell someone not

286
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: to do something because then they're kind of thinking about it,

287
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: but to not even have a conversation about it. Yeah that, yeah,

288
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: it doesn't that just jars I think.

289
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I find it afling that Truscothic said that because

290
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: they'd had success with this in other conditions, they were

291
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: going to persist with it here expecting it to work.

292
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: But we know cricket is different all over the world,

293
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: conditions very so much so. And this look at the

294
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: top order, there's such a talented batting group. You would

295
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: expect them to be able to adapt if they're given

296
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: the license to and work it out and problem solve.

297
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: But they just have been told to not do that.

298
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: It seems like it.

299
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean, could they have had a better

300
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: chance to have beaten Australia in these first two games?

301
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: No?

302
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: In this Test.

303
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: No line, no kauwaja, no commons, no hazer would like

304
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 3: are you ever? Like we at one point we were

305
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: looking at a replay, you and I, Josh of the

306
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: Australian team huddle, and I just kind of said, like,

307
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 3: how have we gotten to a point where Nissa Doggett

308
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: English and Jake Weatherill Like if you'd said it, you know,

309
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: three months ago even that all four of those guys

310
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: would be selling celebrating in an Australian team huddle on

311
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: the verge, you know, going to Neil up on the ashes,

312
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: you would have thought you were mad.

313
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 2: Like, So there are a lot of.

314
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 3: Inexperienced, maybe not inexperience, but guys who haven't played a

315
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: lot of ashes cricket, guys who haven't played heaps and

316
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: heaps of Test.

317
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: Cricket, and England have.

318
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: England have stuck together with his top seven batters for

319
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: a really long time now. To credit to their selectors

320
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: for identifying the players I think could succeed in Australia,

321
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: they just haven't been able to get it done, all right.

322
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: So Australia will begin Day four needing four wickets to

323
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: take a two near lead in this series. England ned

324
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: another forty four runs to make Australia bat again. Play

325
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: will start at two pm local time, as it has

326
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: all throughout this Test match so far. BBL good game

327
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,239
Speaker 1: thirty one point seven rarity for me today Louse Shakiba

328
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: Hassan made my grid with a zero point two percent,

329
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: so very rare. Hopefully someone could beat that, but going

330
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: to take some beating.

331
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: With the category.

332
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: Would have been Renegades overseas players close, well not really close,

333
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 4: Alex Carrey's teammates at the Strikers shake a son.

334
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of games for the Strikers, did.

335
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: He I remember he played for the Renegades. I didn't

336
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: know he played for the for the Strikers as well.

337
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: That's right.

338
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: Get around the great game on the BBL app everybody.

339
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: And it would have been I was going to guess

340
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: that it might have been a Bangladesh little column, but

341
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: that would have only had one.

342
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Did Richard Is sayin end up playing for the not

343
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: he's back? Yeah, okay, would have been a pretty small

344
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: sample size that one.

345
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,880

346
