1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: We're talking sport with Anna Haym. We have a special

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: guest international cricket star and the leg spinning all around

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: her for Australia in the first Scorches Alana King, good

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: morning and welcome Ran God.

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: How are you good? Alana?

6
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 3: So the first WBBL draft was held yesterday the Scorches.

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 3: You've retained your captain, Sophie Devine. How important is she

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 3: to the side.

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. It's an incredible part of our team.

10
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think we're all very much looking forward

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: to having her back. She's, as you said, she's a

12
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: skipper off our team and it's great that we can

13
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: have her back in the Orange.

14
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: You did lose Marizmee cap though she went to the Thunder.

15
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: How big of a loss is that? Oh? I think

16
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: it was probably the toughest decision, and I think the

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Scorches had the biggest decision to make out of all teams.

18
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: But unfortunately part of the draft, we can't keep two

19
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: of our stars. And yes, it's going to be sad

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: to see Cappy playing different colors, but unfortunately that's just

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: the way the cookie crumbles them.

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a tough one. It's a massive season coming up,

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: it kicks off on over twenty. What do you guys,

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: what can we expect from you? I mean the WA cricket.

25
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: You guys have such a history of success, a bit

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: of pressure there, but what can we expect from you girls?

27
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh? Look, I think we're just trying to keep building

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: from what we did last year. Like we didn't actually

29
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: quite get there last year to even make the finals,

30
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: So I think part of that is trying to keep

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: our core group of players as as close as we

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: came together. And look, the signing of Danny White as

33
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: well last night was a massive boost to our batting lineup,

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: so you can expect a few fireworks with the top

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: order from her. She's done that not just for England

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 2: but in the hundred as well and in the WBBL previously.

37
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, very much looking forward to Danny being part

38
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: of the quarters as well.

39
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: We like that, We like the fireworks at the absolute

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: if we just quickly go to the men. They also

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: had their draft. They've locked in Lourie Evans and Zach Crawley.

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: Claisey's very excited about Crawley. They're huge signings, aren't they Absolutely,

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: And I.

44
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: Think it's it's great to have Laurie back in in

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: Orange as well. And yeah, Zach Crawley's he's going to

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: have some fireworks off the stadium, that's for sure, and

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: just the way he's been playing for England recently, it's

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: credit to him. And yeah, the Scorches have got a pretty.

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Strong lineup Halna. Before we wrap up, you mentioned one

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: hundred there and in Australia we think the hundred is

51
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: an Andy Lee TV show, But is it one hundred

52
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: balls for each side in the UK? Is that the

53
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: comple that you're playing in. Yeah, it is.

54
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: It's just it's not the shortest yet because there's t

55
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: ten leagues around. It's just something different. It's five ball

56
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: over then you bowl ten balls from one end. It's

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: actually quite an exciting and entertaining spectacle, I guess, and

58
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: it's fun to be a part of that for sure.

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, it's getting harder and harder

60
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: for bowlers these days when there's less balls, and that

61
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: is are trying to hit you for plenty of boundaries.

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: But that's all part of the fun. And yeah, I'm

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: very excited for the upcoming WBBL.

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: Absolutely, But all right, when you were taking hat trick.

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: I believe you the first woman to do that, so

66
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: well that congratulations.

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully there's a few more in the bags. Me

68
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: for the score too.

69
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: Orange King looking forward to all the games being at

70
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: the Whacker as well. No more Lilac Hill.

71
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's incredible to be playing at the Whacker.

72
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, but Lilac Hill has been great

73
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: over the last few years and I'm sure that the

74
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: city of Swan really enjoyed having us there. But just

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: to see where the game is going and to be

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: playing at the big stadium throughout the season is just

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: showing where the women's games at the moment. And yeah,

78
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: the Whacker, I know the Perth faith will come out,

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: come out in numbers. So to have all five games

80
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: at the Whacker is going to be a big part

81
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: of us and hopefully, you know, we can actually make

82
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: this a fortress for us and teams speared coming to

83
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: the Whacker and playing us at the furnace.

84
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm disappointed about? The dog day?

85
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: Can we take dogs to the Whacker?

86
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: You cannot, I'm sure. If you I'm sure if you

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: pass that by Chris Matthews that was my first friend

88
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: listening this morning. I'm sure there'll be some dog on

89
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: the hill or something like that said, the cricket has

90
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: got to be fraught with Has that ever happened? Yeah,

91
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: well that could cause carnife. Yeah, we might have to

92
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: pass that for these seasons. But hey, I'm sure Chris

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: Wood would love some ideas. And if you that came
