He's 191 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: an iconic Australian athlete, isn't he.

It has been a really 221 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: big season and I think we've been through a lot 222 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: in this season. So to finish third, we're very very 223 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: happy with it. It means the world to us. So 224 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: you spoke recently to Julie as part of your Giant 225 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: in their Field podcast. What impressing the most about the 226 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: Giants coach. 227 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: She's the most experienced coach in Australian. One of my 228 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: favorite chats with her was her talk about culture. She 229 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: talked about you can only create culture once and she 230 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: was the inaugural coach at the Swifts and the Giants, 231 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: so she's done a pretty incredible job. She's coached amazing 232 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: athletes over her time. But I loved the different elements 233 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: that she talked about about what actually contributes to a 234 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: successful team culture. And one of my favorite things about 235 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: the sports podcasts that I do is that so much 236 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: of that actually can translate into business and into the 237 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: workplace as well. 238 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. Nice. 239 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon's game saw the new Sophar Swifts host the 240 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: Queensland Firebirds. Both teams went into the game with finals aspirations, 241 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: but it was the Swifts who took the victory in 242 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: a tough battle to the end at Ken Rosell Arena. 243 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: The Swiss without coach at Branie Ackle defender taking O'shannessy 244 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: and midquarter Taylor Fraser because of COVID nineteen, they lost 245 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: them all within like twenty four hours too. The Swiss, 246 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: I've got to speak. Shout out here to whoever runs 247 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: the Swifts Twitter. It's funny. 248 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 4: It's clever, isn't it. 249 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: Yes, it is on point. I love it. 250 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: They shared some pretty funny chat around that, like it's 251 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 2: been a great year real sarcastically. Anyway, they got the 252 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: job done. They won sixty three to sixty one. The 253 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: margin was not quite enough to dislodge the Collingwood make 254 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: Plies from fourth spot, but the equation is now simple. 255 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: Collin would need to win today against the first place 256 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 2: of Vixen's. If they lose, they can still qualify for 257 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: the finals in fourth provided they lose by two goals 258 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: or less. It's all to play for in the Melbourne Derby. 259 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: So Swifts are hoping that Colin would lose by more 260 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: than two goals. 261 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: Yes. Interesting, and they're playing the Vixens. 262 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 4: What's your bed. I'm saying Vixen's by three. 263 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 3: I'm saying Collingwood by one. 264 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: Interesting, which upsets me because Collingwood but the Vixen's are 265 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: already secured first. 266 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 267 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 2: True, they might be resting some players. It might just 268 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: be filthy about not being able to host a grand final. 269 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: They could have angry, they could be angry about it 270 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: and come out and put on a good game. 271 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 4: I like that theory. 272 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: In soccer, Matildas and Chelsea striker Sam Kerr both achieved 273 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: a notable double last week when she was named Player 274 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: of the Year by England's Professional Football Association, after she'd 275 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: also won the corresponding award from sports writers. The size 276 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: of Kerr's trophy cabinet has been debated on this podcast before, 277 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: but given this season she has won the Golden Boot 278 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: as the Women's Super League top scorer and voted Player 279 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: of the Year by the Football Riders Association, to go 280 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: with the multiple trophies Chelsea has won, it's safe to 281 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: say the cabinet does need to be bigger. 282 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: There's no debate. 283 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: Sam, if you're listening, get a bigger one. 284 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: Sam was thrilled to learn that she had been saluted 285 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: by her fellow players, as the most recent award was 286 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: voted on by the players. Kerr said, it's a massive honor. 287 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: I think whenever you're voted by your peers, I think 288 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: that's the highest honor as a player, So it's an 289 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: amazing feeling. I think as an athlete that's always the 290 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: one you hold the most high. 291 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 292 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 2: The Players Player Award is always for me, the one 293 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: with the biggest kutos. 294 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: Because it has to mean that you're talented but also 295 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: not a dickhead. 296 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 3: Eh. Good on and off the field. It's really important 297 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 3: to be a good teammate, kids well. 298 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: Life lessons here with Bez. 299 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: The UK award comes just two weeks after Kerr won 300 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: the equivalent PFA Award in Australia. Kerr is enjoying some 301 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: down time at home in Perth for the first time 302 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: in over two years. She'll enjoy some much needed rest 303 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: after not being selected in the Matilda's squad, which will 304 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: face Spain in Spain on June twenty sixth. This friendly 305 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: will be followed by a match against Portugal three days 306 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: later in Portugal. The squad features fourteen members that defeated 307 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: New Zealand in April, but there are a number of 308 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: big names who've been given arrest, including Kerr, Steph Catley 309 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: and Kaya Simon. Defender Ellie Carpentah will also be missing 310 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: after suffering an acal injury in the ua FA Champions 311 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: League Final. Coach Tony Gustafson will be looking to the 312 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: less experienced members of the squad to state their claim 313 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: for the upcoming World Cup. Over the course of June 314 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,359 Speaker 1: international window. 315 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: In rugby union, the Walleries haven't had the happiest start 316 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 2: to the Specific four series, suffering two losses in their 317 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: opening matches. Game one, so that Wassi's take on the 318 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: New Zealand Black Ferns in hideous conditions. It was teaming, 319 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: The rain was constant and heavy, and the quality of 320 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: the game. 321 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: Suffered as a result. 322 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: The Walleries deserverly led ten to five at halftime, and 323 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: they matched the world number two team for sixty minutes, 324 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: but the Ferns found another gear in the final quarter 325 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: of the match and finished twenty three ten victors. 326 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: Do you think that a dry game would have suited 327 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: the Wallaroos better? 328 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: Mm, that's a good question. I think yes. In regards 329 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: to our set piece, I think our set. 330 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 4: Pea crumbs and lineouts. 331 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: For those who don't know, I think the scrums in 332 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: particular found that they were on skates. Yeah, so that 333 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: may have helped. Yeah, it's a good question. 334 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 3: It's a good hypothetical they hadn't really thought of. Great 335 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: thanks for that. 336 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: On to the next The second match was played on 337 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: Sunday against a USA team that had welcomed a number 338 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: of players back from English Premiership duty during the week. 339 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: It was the old game of two halves with a 340 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: pretty substantial breeze in play. The US used the wind 341 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: in the first half and starved the Walleros of possession 342 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: and territory, going to the halftime break thirteen nil up. 343 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: Arabella McKenzie came on eight minutes into the second half 344 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,239 Speaker 2: and her exceptional kicking game immediately paid dividends. 345 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: Bella crushed a fifty twenty two to. 346 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: Give the Walleries field position that led to a try 347 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: from one of the OSSI's best on the day, Georgina Fredericks. 348 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: A try from a rolling mortar hook at ash Masters 349 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 2: on the seventieth minute, converted by Lori Kramer, left the 350 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: Wallerooes down by only two with ten to play, getting 351 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: exciting on the couch, and they had one last chance 352 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: after another booming kick from McKenzie handed them a line 353 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: out in their attacking twenty two, but the Wallerios couldn't 354 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 2: secure the lineout and another victory unfortunately went begging. The 355 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: US held on to win sixteen fourteen and the Walleries 356 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: will need to regroup quickly to get something out of 357 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: this tour. 358 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: The Ossis will face world. 359 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: Number three Canada on Saturday in their final match of 360 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: the Pacific four tournament. 361 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: In paddling, Jess Fox celebrated her twenty eighth birthday in 362 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: Prague at the opening round of the ICF Canoe Slalom 363 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: World Cup with a gold medal in the K one event. 364 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: She did it the hardway after smashing gate two on 365 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: the course. But the paddle goat. Can we do a 366 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: little picture of a goat in a kayak? 367 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 4: Bailey producer Bailey, can you. 368 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 3: Put a goat in a kayak? Please? 369 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 4: P thank you, please, and thank you. 370 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 3: She was good enough to with its little hooves on 371 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 3: the paddle. 372 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 4: Oh well, wow, wow. 373 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: Wow wow. 374 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 4: Where am I moving up to? No one knows. 375 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: Great the paddle boat whenever, We're never getting through this. 376 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: The paddle goat was good enough to work some magic 377 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: down the rest of the course and make up for 378 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: the two second penalty. She said after the race, I 379 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: told myself to have a good start, be safe, and 380 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: straight away I smashed gate two. From there, I just 381 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: had to try and lift and push and I made 382 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: a little mistake in the middle, but I had an 383 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: excellent bottom and I really gave it everything at the 384 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: finish line, and I'm still puffed. I love sports like 385 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: this where if you make a mistake early, the mental 386 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: fortitude that you need to bounce back and not let 387 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: it derail the rest of your run. 388 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: If that gets in your head, you're gonna miss gate 389 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 2: after gate. 390 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, the victory meant a lot to Fox. After missing 391 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: gold and winning bronze in the K one of the 392 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: Tokyo Olympics, and then missing the final all together at 393 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: last year's ICF World Championships, she really wanted to get 394 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: back to the top. It was challenging, she said, with 395 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: the World Championships and with the Olympics winning bronze, But 396 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: I won the overall World Cup title last year in 397 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: the kayak, so I knew it was there. I just 398 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: had to pull it out in those runs. 399 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: To do that. 400 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: Today was awesome. I felt really good and really happy 401 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: with how I delivered after that early mistake. She beat 402 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: German world champion Elena Lillick and Francis Camille Prigent and 403 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: declined some birthday cake until after the Sea one and 404 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: Extreme Kayak Trial events, which took place on Sunday night. Unfortunately, 405 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: the second day of competition for Fox wasn't quite as successful. 406 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: She failed to make the semifinals in the Sea one 407 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: and the Extreme Kayak, but was loudly cheering on her sister, 408 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: Miami Fox, who made the final end Extreme event, finishing 409 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: in an impressive fourth place. Can you talk us through 410 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: this extreme kayak event? 411 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 3: It's my new favorite sport. I think it's extreme. It's amazing. 412 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 2: So four people in their kayaks, they launch off like 413 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: a they have a big drop elevated thing like like BMEX. 414 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 2: See the start, it's like a BMX start. It's kind 415 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: of like BMEX on water. 416 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 4: That's cool. 417 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: Four people belting down the churning water, getting around gates, 418 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: paddling as fast as they can. There's a roll in there, amazing, 419 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 2: like roll the kayak on purpose? 420 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 4: When do they have to roll? Is it? Do it 421 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 4: anytime you want? 422 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 3: Is it as a big floating or big suspended yellow boom? 423 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: That's like says roll zone, And so do you have 424 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: to do it within a yeah, I'd say so. 425 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 4: Let's take a look at the key story. 426 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 3: In cricket. 427 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: So normally when we share numbers relating to base and 428 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: average salaries in female sport, cricket is more often than 429 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: not by the top of the list. But a recent 430 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: article highlighting the difference between what Australian cricket pay our 431 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: best cricketers with some pretty confronting reading, superstars Meg Lanning, 432 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: Elise Perry and Alyssa Heey earned us ten percent of 433 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: their male counterparts. In fact, the captain of the men's team, 434 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 2: Pat Cummins as a one point eight million dollar contract 435 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: as the top rank men's cricketer, while Lanning, Perry and 436 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 2: Heally are on contracts worth around one hundred and fifty 437 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 2: thousand dollars to play for their country. Cummins two hundred 438 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 2: thousand dollars Captaincy Bonus alone is worth more than any 439 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: playing contract for female representing Australia, and even the number 440 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: twenty lowest ranked national men's contracted player is on three 441 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen thousand dollars, which is double that of 442 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 2: the top women. 443 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: I think what a really disappointing part of this story is, 444 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: as you said, whenever we talk about pay in sports, 445 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: cricket is kind of the shining light and I think 446 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: they've done an exceptional job with their pr at maintaining 447 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: that image. But when you see these numbers. I think 448 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: that's probably the most accurate comparison, the fact that the 449 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: lowest ranked men's player is on about double or more 450 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: than double is it. Yeah, like that in itself if 451 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: you look at what these female players have done for 452 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: the game, they don't just go out there and play 453 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: exceptional cricket. They actually have a role in changing people's 454 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: attitudes about cricket, bringing new fans to the game, getting 455 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: women on board fifty percent of the population to watch 456 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: the sport. So I think that's where they really have 457 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: missed out on the value that these players bring. 458 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: Cricket. 459 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: Australia Chief Executive Near Cockley acknowledges the issue and declare 460 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: the game is determined to address the disparity. He said, 461 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: Whilst we are extremely proud of the progress in both 462 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: playing opportunities and earning potential of our elite women cricketers, 463 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: there is much more to do. Our investment has held 464 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: in WBBL becoming the world's leading female domestic cricket competition, 465 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: incredible success by our national team, a record breaking ICC 466 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: Women's T twenty World Cup in twenty twenty, an expansion 467 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: of our fifty over WNCL competition. We remain laser focused 468 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: on accelerating the momentum and increasing opportunities and earnings for 469 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: our female players. Cricket Australia was quick to note that 470 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand dollar figure doesn't represent total 471 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: earnings for the women. Top female cricketers do earn additional 472 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: funds from Cricket Australia marketing contracts plus their WBBL deals. 473 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 4: But so do the men. 474 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: Cummens one point eight million dollar salary does not include 475 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: his Captaincy bonus or marketing contract. Lanning, Perry and Teary 476 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: potentially can earn around the three hundred to five hundred 477 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: thousand dollar mark with marketing bonuses. 478 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 4: And WBBL money added in. 479 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: But the point here is the disparity in the playing 480 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: contracts between the male and female players. This also means 481 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: that the less well known Australian female players, who don't 482 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: feature in marketing campaigns as regularly as the big names, 483 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: are only earning the base amount. 484 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 2: There are calls to double the central playing contracts for 485 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 2: the Australian women during next year's MoU Pay deal. Strong 486 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: TV ratings and commercial interest from major sponsors like Comwealth Bank, 487 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: who only want to be associated with women's cricket a 488 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: direct reflections of the team's success and popularity and the 489 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 2: fact Cricket Australia has invested well to this point. There's 490 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: no debating that the investment from CAA has resulted in 491 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: Australia being well ahead of most cricketing nations. Australian Cricketers 492 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: Association boss Todd Greenberg acknowledged the struggles in getting enough 493 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: competition for our World champions saying despite the best endeavors 494 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 2: from Cricket Australia this summer, our Australian men play twenty 495 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: two white ball games and five Tests before our women 496 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: play a game on home soil. Our women cricketers have 497 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: been part of the same MAU as our men for 498 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 2: five years now, but disparities between the treatment of the 499 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: women's and men's team remain. The game has done well 500 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: to keep international competition in set windows so women can 501 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 2: contest the WBBL, the England hundred and soon the Women's 502 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: IPL in India and maximize their earning potential with overseas 503 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: freelance dollars. 504 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: I think overall we can agree that the current contract 505 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: pay gap is just not acceptable from Cricket Australia and 506 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: it's always back to this idea about the current players 507 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: being grateful of being part of this generation that's pioneering 508 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: and paving the way which does allow them to be 509 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: well paid full time professionals. There is still a really 510 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: long way to go to reach a contract offering that 511 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: looks anything like equality. At a minimum, those superstars have 512 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: to be getting paid more than the lowest drand men's 513 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: players absolutely. 514 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: Still on our key story. 515 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: We might look at a pretty cool story that's come 516 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: out of Canada in the soccer bez. 517 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 2: Yeah so in more joint pay action, The Canadian men's 518 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: soccer team last week canceled a World Cup warm up 519 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 2: match against Panama after the team refused to play because 520 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 2: of a labor dispute with the nation's governing body. That 521 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: dispute included a demand the women's national team get equal 522 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 2: match fees. The men released a statement with a number 523 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 2: of demands, including forty percent of World Cup prize money, 524 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: a friends and family travel package, and an equitable structure 525 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: with our women's national team that shares the same player 526 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: match fees, percentage of prize money earned it our respective 527 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 2: fee for World Cups, and the development of a women's 528 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: domestic league. 529 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: It like blows your mind seeing that stuff, doesn't it. 530 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 4: It's so cool. 531 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: And we talked a couple of weeks ago about what 532 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: had happened in the US with the women's national team 533 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: and the way the men had got on board in 534 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: a way with those negotiations, and whether other countries were 535 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: going to follow suits. So it's pretty cool to see 536 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: that Canada, just around the corner their men's team have 537 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: stood up and said they've actually refused to play a game. 538 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 4: Pretty cool. 539 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: The Canada women's team has ranked six in the world 540 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: and they won the gold medal at Tokyo Olympics. The 541 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: Canadian women's team, who are also negotiating their contract with 542 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: Canada Song, said in a statement it will not accept 543 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: an agreement that does not offer equal pay with the 544 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: men's team. Like the men, the women's team is asking 545 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: Canada Soccer to give its players more information about its 546 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: financial situation, particularly regarding its agreement with Canada Soccer Business, 547 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: an entity launched in twenty eighteen to run the country's 548 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: top domestic league and handle Canada Soccer's commercial rights and 549 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: corporate partnerships. 550 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 2: I think this also speaks to a rising power in 551 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 2: player associations. This is not the first time we've had 552 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: a union or a group, a playing group US for 553 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: their governing body to be transparent with the finances. 554 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 3: And I think that's great. I think the. 555 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: Players absolutely deserve to know what the financial position, true 556 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: financial position of the organization is, and therefore they can 557 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 2: make an informed decision on what they want to claim 558 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 2: and in regards to salaries. 559 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think on that example, what's great about 560 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: these two teams in terms of Canada and the US 561 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: women's national teams is they're very successful teams that you 562 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: look Olympic gold medal, the US team being world champions, like, 563 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: they are successful teams who have an exceptional following and 564 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: a really marketable as a team and as individual athletes 565 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: as well. 566 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 2: Look, I assume a lot of them play in the 567 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 2: US competition. 568 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 3: Surprising they don't have a domestic league at all. 569 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, isn't it. 570 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 2: I Mean Canada is right there, Like I think ninety 571 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: percent of Canada's population live within like a one hundred 572 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 2: kilometers of the border. 573 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 3: Just like looking over there, Hello, what are you guys doing. 574 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: Current national team star Alfonso Davies has no doubt about 575 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: what he and his team mates need to address this 576 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 2: part of the new agreement, saying the women are a 577 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 2: good team.
