It used to be the 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.880 Redbacks and now they've changed out to Soakka, so of 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.080 course put the new spin on it, which they should. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.800 But yeah, great scenes are awesome to say, first time 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:30.800 they've done it back to back. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.759 Yeah, amazing in a one hundred and fifty or something years. 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.800 So congratulations to South Australia. Do you want to get 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.399 into the Weekly? We don't feel like there might be 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:37.920 a connection. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.280 Is there anyone else? Can there be anyone else apart 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.240 from Bosnian? Here's the good nova? 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:42.560 Is that? 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:43.160 How you say it? 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:44.200 Close enough? 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:44.440 Yeah? 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.080 They're going through the FIFA World coming. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.400 Out, knocked Italy out, so anyway we digress, but yes, 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:50.840 absolutely South Astralia. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.480 May they're your weekly winner. Yeah, well we'll get to 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:54.120 that final. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.640 We're going to hear from Ryan Harris and Nathan McSweeney, 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.400 who did a press conference straight after that victory, So 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.440 we'll throw to them in just a little bit. My 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.640 weekly when I've gone a little bit different, I've gone 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.360 for Adam Zamper because you know, when you're at home 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.280 with two kids, it can be hard to find time 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.639 to you know, watch the shows you want to watch. 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.280 And over in the PSL, he put in a really 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.120 good performance and then this is what he said after 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.080 taking him the Player of the Match. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:24.320 I'm dedicating this trophy to Jerry Seinfeld's getting me through 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.640 a lot of hotel time watching his TV shows. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.600 Thanks show. So there you go. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.280 I mean, I knew he was a big Seinfeld fan Zams, 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.320 but obviously when you're wrangling two kids and life back home, 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:36.800 it's hard to do. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.040 But when you're in a hotel in Pakistan, well makes sense. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.720 Well I'll argue that I've shared house with him before 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.720 and big bash and he would chuck it on at 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.880 ten am, put his kids down on the mat and 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.920 sit there and watch it, so it doesn't matter if 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:51.760 kids are around or not. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.880 That's like his background. It puts him to sleep as well. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:55.359 After a game. 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:56.720 Been in his room a few times. You'll have a 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.000 whiskey after a game, Chuck Seinfield on the iPad and 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.799 I'll be like, all right up because he wants to 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.160 talk about it, like he's the Dictionary of Seinfeld. And 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.680 you're like, remember the episode fifty seven. No, I haven't 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.200 watched it at all, so okay, yeah, it's his thing. Okay, 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.880 So he had no word for word apparently, I think 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.480 it does. Yeah, amazing, Yeah, all right, well there go. 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:17.880 A week they winner. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.960 Okay, let's get to the Sheffield Shield Final. It was 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.720 South Australia winning in dramatic circumstances. On the fifth morning. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.120 Victoria needed one hundred and ninety five to win. In fact, 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.920 they needed only ninety four more runs with seven wickets 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.360 in hand at the end of the fourth day, but 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.760 then double strike Hanscomb and Harris Firth went out in 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.880 the space of a couple of balls. Victory were at 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.520 the double night Watchman, and while those two survived the 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.600 next day, they didn't last much longer on day five 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.760 and the South Stralian quicks got the job done to 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:49.520 go back to back. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.280 Well, it's the double strike. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.440 The night before when I saw Chris rogers speaking about 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.360 it afterwards, But that feels now in hindsight, is such 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.560 a pivotal moment, two experienced players. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.160 You spoke last week about Harris. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.360 Being in the middle order now and how much of 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.800 a trump card that can be. But losing them both, yeah, 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.240 that night and then sending in the double night watches. 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.960 They did that deep with obviously everyone pushing down the 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.240 order with the night watches, but yeah, those I think 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.839 that's what they're rude, those dismissals and then also the 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:22.560 Kerry mc andrew partnership that morning, and I'm sure South 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.320 Australia as they reflect, there will be the two moments 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.520 that they feel like they got out of jail and 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.320 Victoria will feel like they let one slip. But what 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.400 an amazing game, like a five day. The wicket was great, 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.360 It felt like there was always something happening. So yeah, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.600 incredible some guys again enhance their stocks, but yeah, just 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.800 a really good advertisement for domestic cricket. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.560 After we saw those two play at the match in 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.080 round ten and it was a pretty placid surface and 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:55.120 big scores and spinners bowling junk timeovers. Obviously the curators 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.760 have just kept something up there. Their sleeve and produced 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.960 an absolute cracking pitch, so that was good to see. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.480 And yeah, that Kerrey McAndrew partnership. Those two came together 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.680 at seven for one hundred and twenty two. South Australia 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.320 were only leading by fifty nine at that point, but 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.000 Cary was given the singles so he got off strikes 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.240 straight away pretty much every over and then McAndrew lasted 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.320 for one hundred and forty four balls made sixty even 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.160 though he was on one leg. He was really struggling 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.040 to bowl in that first innings and then of course 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.560 when the matress on the line and the second ding, 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.479 there was no signs to that whatsoever. I think he 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.760 said afterwards like the courtzone was just getting him through. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:36.000 He's a real warrior and had his coach Ryan Harris 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.479 saying that he should be closer to Test selection. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.120 Well we did talk about that last week, didn't he 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.760 That he's kind of that age profile now where it's 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.720 kind of now and ever, and if he does get 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.000 to the end of his career and doesn't play for Australia, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.800 I'm sure he'll not feel like he didn't leave anything 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.200 to chance. He's, like you said, he's a worry he 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.880 backs up all the time. He's resilient. He started his 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.359 first class career, you know, in his late two so 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.920 he's made up for lost time in this past, especially 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.440 in the past three years. I think he's basically led 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.600 the shield stats. So what an amazing recruitment from SA 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.080 to get someone like that. And there's been a bit 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.320 of talk again as there was last year, about how 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.120 many of the guys are from interstate, But you can 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.440 only you know if they want to come play for 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:19.960 you and they're not going to gain for their home stay. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.720 I think that's that's shrewd recruiting and you give them 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.320 an opportunity when no one else will. So he's taken 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.000 it with both ends and he's putting together a serious 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.800 first class career now. So I'm sure what Ryan Harris 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.520 says will hold some weight when you know that brutal 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.080 test schedule gets underway in August this year? 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.400 What don't we hear from Nathan McSweeney and Ryan Harris, 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.800 which also included the coach saying that this year surprisingly 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.880 was a more special victory than their draft breaking one 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:47.360 last year. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.040 So here they are. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.080 Tracking game are thoughts yesterday? When you're seven for only 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.000 leading by sixty other. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:58.120 Yeah, very nervous thinking maybe the game has just slipped 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.680 through our hands. But always you know, kezen Maka to 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.520 be able to spend so much time in the middle 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:05.080 and chip. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.280 Away you know, at a at a title. 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.520 Saying you know, one thirty one forties and half, you know, 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.880 and then to get I think one ninety five ahead. 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.600 You know, it just gave us so much momentum and 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:16.760 something to really bowl at. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.440 And you know, our quicks have been great. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.640 All year, probably the last you know, three or four years, 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.840 so to give them the ball and. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.960 Go to work was fantastic to see. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.720 I'm pleasing to I guess have at least carry back 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.280 in the side to shield five times now. 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.400 Yeah, I mentioned it just before, but I think anytime 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.880 he in particular where's you know, a baggy red and 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.360 plays with the sacker. He you know, he's made so 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:41.440 many runs for us in the. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:42.280 Last couple of years. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.640 You know, he's obviously on field performances are great, but 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.400 off the field he's just as important. So good to 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.440 have in my corner as a captain, just to bounce 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.600 ideas off. You know. He brings a real calmness to 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.800 the group and you know, we're very lucky to have 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.800 him and he's always up for it, always up to play, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.440 and we're so lucky to have him in our team. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:02.360 Just guess on. 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.400 Leam Scott's development last twenty four months and two really 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:07.560 crucial Wi gets there the side. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.040 Few guys, Yeah, Scotty. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.720 You know, anyone that was here will know what the 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.960 breeze was like the first few days. And for him 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:19.160 to push up into the breeze all game to Nale's 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.440 length to make batter his play consistently beat the bat. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.160 It is fantastic to see him get some reward late 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.400 last night and this morning. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.360 So very lucky for me as a captain to hand 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:30.880 him the ball. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.800 You know he won't you know that he'll control the scoreboard, 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.480 he'll footballs in the right area, and today he got 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.000 the reward, which is very pleasing to see. 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.520 Question for both of you, there were so many moments 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.160 and turning points in this game, but could have gone 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:44.960 by the way so many times. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.480 Just for both of you, was the one particular moment 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:48.640 where you win. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.360 That's what we's you know, that's where it esed. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.280 Is there anything that stuck out stood out? Probably last 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.559 night with Harrison Hanskin. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.960 That was probably one for me. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.280 I reckon ten minutes before they were thinking if they 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.160 get through tonight, we don't get at least one of them. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:04.840 It would have been tougher this morning, no doubt. But 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.440 I think to get to know blakes who have played 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.079 Test cricket, came bat long long time, about a long 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.160 time and on again on a nice wicket with an 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.280 old ball. That was sort of the turning for and 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.640 I think to be able to to get them sixteen 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.480 and nine minutes before stumps was was was pretty good. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:24.840 I think that was prob the turning point on top 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.720 of probably the I mean the partnership. Obviously I was 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.560 got asson to a position where we had a target 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.040 to bowl at. But I reckon for me, that was 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:32.800 probably last night. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.600 I speak last year about to stay and success. What's 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:36.440 what's the next? 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:40.120 Now? Number three will be nice. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.280 I'm going to enjoy this one first because this is 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.520 as I was saying a couple player out there. Coaching 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.440 for me last year was easy. You know, we had 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.320 three last year virtually any not many injuries. Nathan went 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:50.720 up to the Test team for a couple of games. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.959 We had carry back for a lot of that as 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.760 we have this year. At the back end it was easy. 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.600 This year was bloody hard and this is that's what 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.040 probably makes this a little bit more special in terms 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.640 of last year. Last year playing at home with all 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.679 those people around was the state was just amazing. To 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.160 come over here and do it in Victoria, which is 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.360 as I said from the start, it's bloody good. But 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.640 for this group and the organization, and you know, I've 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.839 had the CEO, I've had a general manager count twin, 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.960 so we've already won. Whether we won today, we've already won. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.160 We've been here. And the verstility of being you know, 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.480 the trouble we've had during the year with players it 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:30.280 was this year today is just more special. I mean, yeah, 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.880 it's amazing. Stick I did an interview straight off the game. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.199 It's a bit emotional about it, but just so proud 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.440 of these blokes and not just these guys, sorrow the 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.040 whole group. You know, we've got twenty six guys. Heady's 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.320 played two games this year. I know he'd be you know, 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.120 he's sitting in India watching this, so I think just 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:46.320 the whole group is I'm. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.880 Just so proud of they are two very chuffed individuals, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.360 back to back winners, and immediately they're just they've put 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.760 themselves into the annals of South Stralia. 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:56.800 Cock with these two victories. 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.199 I was a bit surprised that Harris was so intent. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.760 I'm saying that this win was better than last year 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.440 because obviously there was all that emotion around last year. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.560 But then when I heard him explain it and that 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.520 the injuries are winning away first time a team has 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.720 won that or done that in a decade, it makes 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.319 sense that this one means more. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:17.120 Yeah. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.679 I think managing through what he said, the injuries and 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.319 the schedule, they haven't lost the game since October. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:22.600 Yeah. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.480 Yeah, so they've drawn a lot of cricket. They've done 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:25.080 it the hard way. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.280 But also I actually messaged him last night, but it 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.880 resonated last year when he was up accepting the trophy. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.800 How he said that he hopes it's not a long 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.800 time waiting for the next one, and I reckon a 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.560 lot of guys in that position. You've just broken a 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.720 thirty year drought. I think that's the last thing in 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.719 your mind. But I reckon for him because he used 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.080 to play for South Australia through one of those periods 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.720 where we didn't win anything, we didn't. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.000 Look like we were a basketcase. I reckon for. 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.839 Him to then think in the moment, no, I want 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.360 to be here again next year, and I reckon that 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.800 would have resonated with a lot of other people and 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:01.520 typical South Stralia usually when something's good, we're comfortable and 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.880 content with that. But I think his attitude is not, 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.840 we want more, so to back that up and be 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.959 the first. Well they're the first South Australian team in 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.760 one hundred and fifty years, So for him to say 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.960 that it does mean more, it does make sense, and 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.480 it's kind of that new attitude that he's brought to 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.000 that team. They don't give up, they keep fighting. When 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.640 I was at South Australia, as long as I was 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.240 at South Australia, they were words that were never used 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:27.640 to describe the South Astralian cricket team really and when 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.319 I left, I think that's something that he's brought with him, 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.360 and I reckon that just shows how much he's made 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:33.400 an impact on that team. 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.720 Yeah, what about I mean, there's ways to describe teams, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.800 but internally, I mean, I'm sure those words would have 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:39.720 been used it. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.000 Oh, absolutely all. 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.360 Everyone talks about each other and in this sanctum as 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.520 glowing only as possible. But it doesn't matter what you think. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.120 It's what the opposition think or what the cricket community 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.280 think of you. And you know, for ten years we 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.120 were winning wooden spoons consistently. So like I said, for 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.360 him to come in break the drought, but then also 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.880 be like, we're not happy with just breaking the drought. 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:02.880 Let's keep doing this. 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.400 And they've got an opportunity, them and Victoria if you 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.480 look at it, like with the young players they've both got, 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.720 there's no excuse to not be back there again. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.880 So yeah, such an impressive coach. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.200 A lot of props have to go to Alex Carey 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.440 as well. By reports, turned down a PSL deal to 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.560 make sure that he was playing in the Sheffield Shield. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.599 Finally he became just third player to hit centuries in 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.920 consecutive finals and both with victories of course, and he's 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.439 certainly done a lot to enhance his reputation even further. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.280 I mean we had a few weeks ago Irene, I 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.440 think it was nominate Carry as a big game player. Wow, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.800 this just underlines it once again. And he's done it 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:44.199 again following on from that Adelaide Oval century earlier in 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:44.680 the season. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.960 Well, we probably that chat, the big game players chat 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.800 and the statues chat, we've probably left. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.160 We've probably had it too early. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.080 If we had it this week, I think his name 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.679 front and seer would be out there. Get him a 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.520 statue at it Adelaide Oval with Heady. So I think 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.959 it definitely means something to him, Like when I look 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.040 at that team like him, Jake Lehman, and then I'll 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.240 throw those guys that were there mc Andrew mc sweeney. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.880 I'm trying to think of the guys that came across 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.800 Henry Hunt kind of in the before Ryan Harris arrived 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.480 and things started. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.240 To change, maybe Buckingham. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.960 Yeah, those guys they saw what it was like as 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.880 it was, you know, they were trying to spring up 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.400 the ladder, so they've Alex has been around a long time. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.520 He's gone back to the Darren Berry days, so you 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.280 know that's a guy who's seen it both sides, and 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.480 for him to go back and play the final and 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.120 perform as well as he has it obviously means something 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.720 to him. So yeah, legacy enhancing summer for Alex carry. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.480 Absolutely now I want to get your thoughts on the 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.600 injury substitute which we saw coming to play in the 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.680 third evening. Mitch Perry came in for the injured Sam 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.560 Elliott got a wicket with the first ball. McSweeney did 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.160 not for a shot, left out Australia three thirty five 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.320 and in a lot of trouble. But it did ask 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.240 It did have the cricket community asking questions about, well, 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.440 how can we have a fresh bowler coming in to 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.240 play on the thirty Any thoughts on that strong thoughts or. 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.440 Well, it's been there all year, hasn't it and it's. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.480 Still a trial. We must say that they're just testing 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.560 it out. But it could have had a huge impact. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:13.280 Yeah, it could have. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.600 I don't like it. We don't like I don't like 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.680 it personally. I think, yeah, like you said, to have 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.760 a bowler come in fresh. I know it's not their fault. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.200 I know why it happened, but that's part of four 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.120 day cricket is if you do go a man down 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.560 early on, it's just you know, you've got to fight 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.160 even harder and it's kind of the balance of your team. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.880 When you select an eleven at the start of the 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.720 game is to hopefully cover basis of you know, if 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.280 you go a quick down or a spin or whatever 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.120 it is, that you've got a good enough team to 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.560 cover that. So I must admit I don't like it. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.160 I didn't also like that, well I did and didn't 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.360 like that. Ryan Harris thought, well, you know, can we 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.640 should we do the same? We've got where's Aga sitting 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.880 there on the bench And yeah, that just to me 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.040 is not what first class and four or five day 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.880 crickets should be about. I think it is once the 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:00.800 coin goes up, you're into it, and that's the eleven 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.280 that have the opportunity. And if your twelfth man you 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.480 are like you're dant, aren't you? And I know the 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:10.400 concussion sub is probably different, but there was some stories 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.560 that he wasn't even allowed to warm up in the nets, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.440 Like the umpires were saying to Mitch Berry, you can't 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:16.760 warm up in the nets. So if you're going to 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.800 have this rule, let's keep some common sense about it. 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.280 They wouldn't let Ben Row of subfield when you know 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.360 the real twelfth man was off playing club like it's 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.200 just a mess. So if you're going to have this rule, 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.360 have some understanding and some common sense around it, because 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:30.240 that's pretty fast. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.280 Cool definitely, and because teams get the right to match. 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.880 As you said, South Australia don't need an injury if 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.280 Victoria used their injury sub how stiff would you be 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.600 if you're one of those bowlers from South Australia who 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.560 maybe we didn't bowl the best in the first innings, 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.200 now we get subbed out without a chance to redeem 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:46.920 yourself in the second. 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.120 Well, that's absolutely right, and I think that's again the 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.360
