1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: The Unplayable Podcast is probably presented by Quantus, the official

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: podcast partner and the official airline partner of Cricket Australia.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Once again this season, Quantas is proud to be flying

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Australia's cricketers as they take on the world. Hello, welcome

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: to the Unplabled Podcast. Well Australia, they are out of

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: the TEA twenty World Cup, they haven't made the Super

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: eight phase.

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: They won't make the semifinals for the third year in.

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: A row or third tournament in a row, and now

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: we have to discuss how it happened and why it happened.

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: My name is Joshu and I finger.

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to be back in the studio with

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: now former player Kane Richardson.

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: Richo, how's it going mate.

15
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 3: Former player, current critic. No, it's good. We're in a

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: beautiful studio by the way, So no expense spared on

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: the Unplayable Podcast these days. But yeah, disappointing circumstances to

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: be talking about this week.

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're up all night on Tuesday night watching

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: the rainfall down in Palla Kelly.

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: No match was played between Island and Zimbabwe.

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Needed as Australians for Ireland to win that match, but

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: the draw the split points is enough as Zimbabwe to

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: go through to the Super Eights.

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost a fitting way for it to happen,

26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 3: isn't it. Just to watch the rainfall for a couple

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: of hours, and I know the guys would have been

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: sitting in the hotel room just watching watching the rain

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: and hoping that the sun would have come out or

30
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: the moon would to come out and they would have

31
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: been able to play. But unfortunately, when you put yourself

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: in these positions and you're rely relying on the weather

33
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: not playing a part, then you probably don't deserve to

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: go through. And as you say, to three World Cups

35
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: in a row now where not only semi final the

36
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: last two editions, to not make it through to the

37
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: Super Eights or the next stage is so disappointing.

38
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 4: So no doubt those guys are hurting.

39
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: And unfortunately either have to front up for one more

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: game and finish their World Cups super early.

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've still got Aman on Friday night, so that's

42
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: coming out. But before we get into the Australian analysis.

43
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Last week we asked for some of the best moments

44
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: in t twenty World Cup history. This one probably won't

45
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: go down from an Australian point of view, but we

46
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: had to great responses, including one from Kashi who said Afghanistan,

47
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: South Africa just this tournament an amazing double souper over

48
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: that we saw, which included Stubbs hitting the last ball

49
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: for six to take it to the souper over, and

50
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: then David Miller hitting two sixers and then goerba Is

51
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: hitting three sixes in a row in the second super rover.

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: I mean, have you ever seen anything like that?

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 3: I don't think a double no, that's that is worth

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: recency bias, but it's definitely a worthy nomination to go

55
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: to double super rovers free cricket, as they say, so

56
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: a worthy nomination. But there's been quite a few over

57
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: the time, and obviously I think has an Australia. What

58
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: are the Australian ones? But I'm sure the listeners got

59
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: involved in probably weren't favoring Australian performances in the past.

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: No they weren't.

61
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, doesn't the super over when it goes

62
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: to a second superover, doesn't make you wish that we

63
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: had the countback still as it was in twenty nineteen.

64
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: I mean that's the way to go, isn't it.

65
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: Well? The bowl off? Bring back the bowl off always.

66
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: I remember watching as a kid and I was like,

67
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: I want to be involved in on it, or maybe

68
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: I don't because it'd be so embarrassing if you're missed.

69
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: Can we bring that back? Maybe? Yeah?

70
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: Maybe if the super is tired, then we go to

71
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: a ball of.

72
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: Fall off back for the count back. Do you think

73
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: the count back or maybe we just have an arm

74
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: wrestle or two up.

75
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: Kartik said that Koli is aded too not out versus

76
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: Pakistan in Melbourne. I was lucky enough to be there

77
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: for that game. It was an incredible, amazing atmosphere, one

78
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, very very loud ground. Balal said the twenty

79
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: seventy to twenty World Cup Final his most heartbreaking moment

80
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: as a Pakistan fan.

81
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: Miss Burl Hark tried to ramp and got bught.

82
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: Tommy Flanners said Wady and Stein at the twenty twenty

83
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: one semi final versus Pakistan.

84
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: Again another ramp. This one was successful for many way though,

85
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: wasn't it?

86
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: And then we had plenty of people saying remember the

87
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: name Carlos Brathwaite. You've raising six six's and Mike Hussy's

88
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: sixty not out of twenty four against Pakistan back in

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: twenty ten.

90
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: That's probably most, isn't it. I'm trying to think of

91
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: any off the top of my head that I had

92
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: the Stillness and Wide one, but it is pretty famous

93
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: now going back five years, I can't think of too

94
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: many more that capture the you know, capture the world audience,

95
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: like you know, the six sixers, remember the name ones

96
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: that live in folklore now.

97
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 4: So a good list, very good list.

98
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: Right, We're gonna take a short break.

99
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: When we come back, let's talk about the straight T

100
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: twenty World Cup and what went wrong. So it's been

101
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: back to back losses Frustralia at the T twenty World Cup,

102
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: which has seen them knocked out of the tournament. They

103
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: fell to Zimbabwe by twenty three runs and then they

104
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: lost to Schlanka by eight wickets. Only took four wickets

105
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: across those two matches and the batting didn't quite click either,

106
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: did it.

107
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: Rich Oh.

108
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Although Mitch Marsh came back into this side for the

109
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: SriLankan game in Pala Kelly and got put on one

110
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: hundred run partnership with Travis Head. They were going at

111
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: twelve runs and over at the start of that inning

112
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: and things were looking pretty positive. But from there they

113
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: lost a couple of clumps of wickets. They lost four

114
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: wickets in five overs after that opening partnership and then

115
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: lost five to seven at the end, and then it

116
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: was on this Sanka master class with the bat, wasn't it?

117
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: I think? Yeah? Disappointing to two losses in a row.

118
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: If you look back to the Zimbabwe one, that's probably

119
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: the nail in the coffin. Having to rely on beating

120
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka is always going to be tough,

121
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 3: especially when you're defending in the jew So, as you said,

122
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: the stuff you're talking about there, when you talk about

123
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: teach winning cricket, you need the flip side of that

124
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: to You need that stuff going well to win. So

125
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: to finish an innings well with the bat and then

126
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: flowing onto the bowling innings sounds obvious, but you need

127
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: to be taking wickets. And was a four wickets in

128
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: two games. I mean you're never gonna win. You're never

129
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: gonna win games not taking wickets. So two different ways

130
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: they lost the Zimbabwe game chasing different. It was a

131
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 3: day game, so they're under some asking rate pressure on

132
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: a a wicket that was slowing up. And then, as

133
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: we just said, the Shrilankan game with a bit of

134
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: due around trying to defend a score that should have

135
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: arguably been forty or fifty runs higher, which who knows,

136
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 3: may have not made a difference, but yeah, just so

137
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: disappointing that that group will be hurting. The riding was

138
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: probably somewhat on the wall after the Pakistan games. If

139
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: we're looking if you're looking for answers now you go

140
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: back to the lead in Yeah, and there's a lot

141
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 3: of guys missing. But I feel like T twenty and

142
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: especially from the bowling side of things, is such a

143
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: hard game. You need your roles laid out, and the

144
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: best teams I've ever seen and been in part of

145
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: the bowling group had such clarity around what time we're

146
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: going to bowl, who's going to bowl, when, what their

147
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: plan is going to be. And that felt like from

148
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: the outside looking at this team that they never really

149
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: were able to get that sorted. And injuries obviously played

150
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: a part, with Hazwood and Cumbs not being there too,

151
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: but the guys who were selected were coming off the

152
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: Big Bash.

153
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: They'd been playing T twenty crickets, so there's no excuse.

154
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was going to ask, is the

155
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Big Bash, which had another great season, is that adequate

156
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: preparation for a T twenty World Cup in foreign conditions

157
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: or should there have been more of an emphasis to

158
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: get all those players over to pack start for those

159
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: two matches and then the warm up games.

160
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: I think, well, there is always going to be the

161
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: argument with the Big Bash. You want the guys playing

162
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: the finals. We've seen instances in the past where guys

163
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: have flown off to play like a one day series

164
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: overseas and they're not playing Big Bash finals, and we

165
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: want them playing Big Bash finals. But also we need both,

166
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: I think, especially coming into a World Cup, and as

167
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: you said, in foreign conditions that are always a challenge

168
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: for an Australian team to play in. So I don't

169
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: know what the answer is. Well, yeah, scheduling is always

170
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: going to be tough. There's always so much content in

171
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: the calendar. But I think that's where that's those three

172
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: games in Pakistan, take the three losses out of it.

173
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: I just don't think they were able to get their

174
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: best team sorted.

175
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: They had basically five or six guys leave after that

176
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: Pakistan series, come back and play Shield cricket and all

177
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you know, you're into the thick of

178
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: a World Cup.

179
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: You're trying to qualify with guys that have had two.

180
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: Or three weeks out of the game more in Tim

181
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: David and Nathan Elison's case, even longer.

182
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, the writing was on.

183
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: The world You could kind of sense that things weren't

184
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: going well, and then all of a sudden you have

185
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: a really bad loss Zimbabwe and things you panic, don't you.

186
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: So that just seems the way it's gone.

187
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: And it's so disappointing because at their best, you know,

188
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: their form in twenty twenty five was great leading into

189
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: this and it's almost like that were over prepared.

190
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: You know, they were ready for the World Cup in

191
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: November last.

192
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: Year, weren't they, And then they're kind of sitting around

193
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: waiting and things just haven't gone well.

194
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: So super disappointing.

195
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: Well, everything in cricket's about timing, isn't it, And just

196
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 1: felt like maybe they were just flying at the wrong

197
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: point of the calendar. But on the bowling point of view.

198
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned there's no Hazeler, there's no comments.

199
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Of course, Dudy injury starts retired, and then all the

200
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: wickets in the past two games have come from Stuness

201
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: and Green. Very unusual to see Ellis and Zampago without wickets.

202
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: But then you've got your.

203
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Connolly's and your Bartlett was there and Cooneman as well,

204
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: I think played that first game.

205
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: So there just hasn't been the wickets.

206
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: And you said you need to take wickets to win

207
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: matches and win World Cups.

208
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do.

209
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: And I think the Zampa ls part is big, But

210
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: I think those two it at their best, are the

211
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: defensive They're the defensive side of that bowling attack. If

212
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: the team is the team he went out in the park,

213
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: They're the two that are going to bring the They're

214
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: not going to go for more than you know, in

215
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: Ellis's case bowling the hard overs, but going for more

216
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 3: than thirty five. Zampa's case is probably hardly ever going

217
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: over thirty with the overseas bowls, and then you fit

218
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: you're attacking around that guys who do get wickets. You know,

219
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: we've again we've spoken about the Big three in the past,

220
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: but to never taken for granted, and this just shows

221
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: you know, when you haven't got Mitchell Stark there to

222
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: take wickets with the new ball, Hazeswood doing the same

223
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: impact coummens plugging holes around that it makes it really hard.

224
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: And we've seen Zavia Barallett do it for the heat

225
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: he had a bad game. Drshes comes in to play

226
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: that same role, doesn't get it sworted and they go

227
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: back to Barlow. It just makes it so hard. And

228
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: again it just showed that there wasn't clarity at all

229
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 3: with that bowling attack and it does leave a lot

230
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: to do on Adam Zamper and Nathan Ellison's shoulders, and

231
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: rightly or wrongly, they haven't performed the last two games.

232
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: But again I don't think that was their role.

233
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: Their role was to all the hardest overs, to be

234
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: the hardest to hear, and then hopefully the guys around

235
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: them kind of filled those holes. But yeah, they're all rounders.

236
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: Off had to do some heavy lifting and it hasn't

237
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: paid off.

238
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: And then the big talking point ahead of the Shranker

239
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: game was bringing in Steve Smith into the squad. Everybody

240
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: was finally cheering because there was a lot of ground

241
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: swell to get Smith in after his big, big Big

242
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: after his big Big Bash campaign, and then they left

243
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: him on the bench and they left out Matt Renshaw,

244
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: who in the leading run scorer from the first two matches.

245
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: It was obviously a team that wanted to stick to

246
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: their guns, of the big hitting team that had been

247
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: so successful over those past twelve months. But in the

248
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: end it's sort of one of those decisions that you

249
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: look and you say, well, maybe that was the wrong call.

250
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this hindsight, I definitely involved with that,

251
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: isn't there When they picked the squad was the Big Bash,

252
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: you know it when Smith was going nuts in the

253
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: Big Bash again, so you know, timing probably didn't work out.

254
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: I think the way they started with Abaut the other night,

255
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: with Head and Marsh, that's the way they played in

256
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, right, and that's the identity they set

257
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: up him. They be coming in at four, Green at three,

258
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: and then the all rounders through the middle order. So

259
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: I don't think he can argue with that when things

260
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: are going well. But when Steve's playing well in the

261
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: Big Bash, they changed the squad with Matt Short dropping

262
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: out of the squad pre real close to the World Cup,

263
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: which showed they are open to making changes, and then

264
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 3: with Hayzwood going down, they kind of waited the while

265
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: to replace him and then replace him with Steve Smith,

266
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: who doesn't end up playing it is. It does just

267
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: show I don't think they knew how bad Mitch Marsh

268
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: was going to be because Steve Smith has to open

269
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: the batting if he's playing for Australia. You could argue

270
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: in those conditions he can batman the laughter about him

271
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: and his best in teach and he creators open the

272
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: batting and that's where probably our two best batters, although

273
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: Hetty hasn't been in the best of form for a

274
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: little bit. So there's so many unknowns now and it'll

275
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: be interesting to see this last game what they do,

276
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: whether they do go the same again or whether they

277
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: go we've got to start planning for the next World

278
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: Cup because fortunately, unfortunately these things come around pretty quickly.

279
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: So do you start planning and you know, pick an

280
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: order that you think and you can't fly guys in

281
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: for it, and you've got your squad, But do they

282
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: start trying to change things up for the next edition,

283
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: or do they just double down and finish the tournament

284
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: as well as they can well.

285
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: So rare for Australia to play a dead rubber at

286
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: a global tournament.

287
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: But what would you do if you're in the selector seat?

288
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: Who are you picking?

289
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: I don't know.

290
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: I honestly don't know, because obviously again you need I mean,

291
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 3: Martian Head will be there in two years time. Mitch

292
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: is getting older now, but again he's more. He's a

293
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: better only now, so they're going to age. Will age fine?

294
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: Will Steve smith be there in two years time? You

295
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: could probably say you will. I know he wants to

296
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: get to the Olympics, doesn't he? So all of a sudden,

297
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: you've got three guys in that top two. Can you

298
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: find a way to get Smithy a game in a

299
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: different role and he can play in the in the future.

300
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: Ren Shaw's the one that you know he had to

301
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: have been playing the other night. I think just his adaptability.

302
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: He's going to play a lot more in the next

303
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 3: he'll be at that World Cup, but he's got to

304
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: play a lot. He'll basically play all the way through

305
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: now to that next World Cup and make his position

306
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 3: his own. But he was the standout better that Yeah,

307
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: he was in the toughest position to Bart in the

308
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: middle order, and he's just shown how much his game

309
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: has grown. So yeah, for him not to play that night,

310
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: was he question that? Now again it's in hindsight, but

311
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: it didn't make any sense at the time, And the

312
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: selectors are going to have to own that, and I'm

313
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: sure they will. They'll come out and explain their thought

314
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: process and we'll judge them on that, and obviously they

315
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: know that. But yeah, there's so many questions going forward.

316
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and of course we're in Australia lose, you know,

317
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: we want to pick apart all the decisions that these

318
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: selectors have made a lot of great calls over the

319
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: last twelve twenty four months, haven't they, even with the

320
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: ashes and those sorts of things. Do you think though,

321
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: we're at a time where there's all these and this

322
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: isn't a selector based vertion, but with all the injuries

323
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: around the fast bowlers and players in general. Now with

324
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: obviously Tim David doing that hamstring and coming back, but

325
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: Hazer would commins then the young guys Beard Mean and Viidler,

326
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: Lance Morris and Aaron Hardy, all these other guys, like

327
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: is there too much cricket or are we do we

328
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: need to look at how we're managing the most important players,

329
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: which are fast bowls.

330
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: In other cases, is there too much cricket? There's a lot,

331
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: isn't that? And you would know from covering the game

332
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: like you can't. You almost can't keep up with everything

333
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: that's going on across obviously both male and female. But

334
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: it just shows how hard it is for a management

335
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: to manage those guys. And again we're talking about three

336
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: of the best fast balls that we've ever produced and

337
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: how much cricket they've played. So selectors, backroom staff, coaches,

338
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: their plan for those guys over the last five years

339
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: has been massive tick and unfortunately Starky probably retired at

340
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: the worst possible time for.

341
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: Us into joining cregut. Our selfish back a little sos.

342
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan out of retirement, but I think he's enjoying

343
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: his time, his downtime. So again, you can't rely on

344
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: those guys forevery when we spoke about this month ago.

345
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: But now the question is going to be on the

346
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: guys in between those twenty five to thirty year olds,

347
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: who's going to take yourpportunity? And that's that's a pleasing

348
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: thing as a selector and as a coaching group. You've

349
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: got you know, you're going to see in the next

350
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: World Cup edition, who's going to you know, who's going

351
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: to put their hands up and be the next guy

352
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: for Australia.

353
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: And there's guys in the early twenties.

354
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: But I don't think he can rely on those guys

355
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: yet because they're missing, you know, Beard Minute is injured again.

356
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: Unfortunately Vidler hasn't played it all this season. And then

357
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: there's that good nineteen's crop that are coming through, but

358
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: you can't really pencil them in for a World Cup

359
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: in two years time. So it's that twenty five thirty

360
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: year olds. Ji Richardson's the one that I think his

361
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: white bull stuff has gone under the radar because he's

362
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: put such an emphasis on Test cricket and getting back

363
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: fifth for that. But I think if he's playing Test

364
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: Creed and Forte Kriger, he'll be he'll be ready and

365
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: I think his white bull skills are as good as

366
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: anyone in Australia. So I think he's the one that

367
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: really needs to take on that mental piece, you know,

368
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: take on that I'm going to lead this bowling attack

369
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: going forward into twenty cricket and hopefully Dayes would still

370
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: around two years time, but again we can't bank on that.

371
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe, I like that he hasn't sort of been

372
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: in there one day reckoning for a while as he

373
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: but definitely put his name down and now I know

374
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: t twenty cricket hasn't really been a focus or it

375
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: hasn't seemed like a focus for a straining cricket. Obviously

376
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: the focus on the ashes and Test cricket, which makes sense.

377
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: But then maybe you can speak to this from your

378
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: own career having to bounce between formats. Do we need

379
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: to get to a point where we are just having

380
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: players play one format? Is it too difficult to go

381
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: between the two and dominate at both? Do you need

382
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: to just delineate the two and really focus it on

383
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: what you're good at.

384
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: I'm probably the wrong guy to ask, because I really

385
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: had a good format.

386
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: But you had a career or a part of your

387
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: career where you were bouncing between red.

388
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: Ball and I think the cricket's different though, because it

389
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: is such a laid out schedule now where it is

390
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: mainly shield cricket. You played the odd one day and

391
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 3: then it's Big Bash exclusively, whereas these test guys, these

392
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: all format guys are bouncing all and they are overseas

393
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 3: doing it, they're coming back like there's a lot going on.

394
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: I think ideally the answer would be yes. But I

395
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: think at the end of the day, especially World Cups,

396
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: you want your best team. You're always going to pick

397
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: your best team, and if it's a guy who's played

398
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: in the ashes, just gone and so be it. And

399
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: I always felt, you know, being behind those big guys,

400
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: always felt like, oh, in these you know, I was

401
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: always like T twenty specialists, you know, and whenever things

402
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 3: would go wrong and badly, people would suggest that. But

403
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 3: then when you know, twenty twenty one came around and

404
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: they led us to a World Cup win, there's no

405
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: there's no argument about that. You know, they're our best

406
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: bowlers no matter what format. So again, I think you

407
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 3: want as many bowlers as possible to pick from and

408
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: all formats of the game that are bowling well and

409
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: playing well and upskilling. And that's the answer. So it's

410
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 3: never going to be a perfect science. It's never going

411
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: to be one or the other. And I don't think

412
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 3: you want that either. Like you look at other countries

413
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: that they're in the same boat. They're bowling attacks. You know, England,

414
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: they've got guys who just played in the Ashes that

415
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 3: are playing in the T twenty World Cup and doing well.

416
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: So it's just everyone's in the same boat. Really.

417
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: You just got to hope you've lucky that you get

418
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: generational quicks but also some back up depth behind them

419
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: that fill in those roles in the lead ups to

420
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: World Cups, and then when you get your World Cup,

421
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 3: you know they're going to be verry rapped them.

422
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Australia seem to have the test cricket stuff pretty

423
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: well worked out. Whenever a one day World Cup comes around,

424
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: they're generally very competitive. Do we need to focus more

425
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: on the T twenty stuff or is that just is

426
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: it just the afterthoughts?

427
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 3: But again I think this is hindsight, and I think

428
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 3: this is because things didn't go well that we're saying that.

429
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: I think we have focused on it, like our twenty

430
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: twenty five form. Again, we're sitting here saying they looked

431
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 3: ready to go to win a World Cup and then

432
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: things haven't gone well since then. So I think it's

433
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: it's very in the moment now that we're saying that

434
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: that we haven't focused on T twenty cricket.

435
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: I think we have.

436
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 3: I don't think those guys Andrew McDonald will come out

437
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: and say that they have. But you know, things haven't

438
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: gone to plan, and that's the way it goes sometimes,

439
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: like important players got injured, whether or not they didn't

440
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 3: even go over in the case of Hazwood and Cummins,

441
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: but also Ellis and David, their leadings were They're two

442
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 3: very important players and their leadings were basically, you know,

443
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: non existent. So you take four of the real, real

444
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: dependable guys in T twenty cricket out of your team,

445
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: it's going to be hard. So I think they had

446
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: their eggs in the T twenty basket after the ashes.

447
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: And it's a World Cup.

448
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 3: We've got a proud history in World Cups, and we

449
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 3: don't ever go they think we're not going to win it,

450
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: So that's why it is so disappointing. But the narrative

451
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: that we don't care about T twenty is very wrong.

452
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha.

453
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 4: Now.

454
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: It obviously was a disappointing result in Colombo against Zimbabwe

455
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: for Australia, but a golden day for Zimbabwe quick and

456
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: we've also had some other golden moments throughout this tournament

457
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: so far, one of my favorites being Italy beating the

458
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: poul by ten wickets. We had the Mosca brothers from

459
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: Sydney Gray Cricket getting the job done by themselves. Ben

460
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: Minenti absolutely killing it on the international stage, which is

461
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: great to see. He's actually the leading run scorer by

462
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: all Australians at the tournament, so that's great from Ben.

463
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 4: Can we draft him into our team for the last.

464
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: Game maybe a tree?

465
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: And then Italy also took England all the way as well,

466
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: so they've shown some really good science. India took care

467
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: of Pakistan. We touched on that double souper over. I

468
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: must admit at the start of the tournament, I wasn't

469
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: really looking that much forward to it. But now that

470
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: the games have started and we've had some great matches,

471
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: like I am fully invested in this tournament.

472
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 3: And I think again the benefit of having those associate

473
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: nations or the lower seeded nations, you know, that's the benefit.

474
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: Like there's games we spoke last week how I think

475
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: Nepal pushed England, USA pushed India like it just shows

476
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: on and Zimbabwe betting Australia shows in the right conditions,

477
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 3: the right circumstances, it's a competitive environment and yeah, Italy,

478
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: like it's great seeing these stories and it is such

479
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: a small like it's a week and a half, two

480
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: weeks of cricket before the Super Eats start and it

481
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 3: gets really serious. But it's great to see. You know,

482
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: you've got more players involved, you've got storylines everywhere, you've

483
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: got extra kids.

484
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 4: We love the World Cup kids.

485
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: But it's just again it is more content, but it's

486
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 3: more opportunity for players to put their names up in lights.

487
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: You know, Ben Menenti making sixty off twenty balls against England, brilliant, Like,

488
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: that's incredible, he's struck it, you know, two hundred and

489
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 3: fifty against Yeah, Rush, I suppose. So we're always going

490
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: to love stories like that. So and again, growing up

491
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: as a kid, I always remember Zimbabwe being at World Cups,

492
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 3: the Flower Brothers, you know, Andy Blin, like they used

493
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 3: to tour Australian Test cricket.

494
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 4: We want that again.

495
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: We want as many countries involved as possibly. We want

496
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: to grow the game and have it being bigger, bigger

497
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 3: than ever. So yeah, I'm I'm a fan. Of this format.

498
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 3: But again for people who do follow the game and

499
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 3: cover it every night, it's probably make sure job a lot,

500
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: a lot harder having to follow everything.

501
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 4: That's going on as well.

502
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is maybe down the track we

503
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: could be looking at it one day tour to Italy

504
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: or something like that.

505
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: Well, no one's going to say no to that, are they. Well,

506
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: it used to be what they wanted to. I remember

507
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: the guys used to talk about one of like a

508
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: euro Bucks trips. It'd be like Amsterdam, Dublin and then

509
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: Edin ruff for Scotland. You know, you get that trifector

510
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: and it's almost like bring your best mates with the

511
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: If one of them is getting engaged, come along.

512
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: We'll have a little Bucks weekend.

513
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, again, if you can get those guys back,

514
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 3: we'll go to Milan for talking like I'm a player,

515
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: maybe have to get the coaching stuff.

516
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 4: Well we can go on there.

517
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 3: You go on assignment as a journalist definitely gets Milan.

518
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: I think that they're talking Milan Florence maybe Rome and Rome.

519
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 3: I think they're dust bowls there. So again we've got

520
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 3: to start planning.

521
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: Five match to absolutely, yeah, and West Indies India, South Africa, Srilanka.

522
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: At the time of recording, all those teams undefeated. Who's

523
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: going to win this tournament won't be Australia.

524
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: Who's going to well?

525
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: I think in those conditions in you are going to

526
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: be hard. But I like South Africa. I think again. Okay,

527
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 3: they played offrom the final, didn't they in the last?

528
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: So I think they're coming again off the back of

529
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: winning the World Test Championship as well.

530
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 4: I like their team.

531
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: I think they got the batting and the bowling down

532
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: pat To this point, things are going well, so I

533
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 3: think they'll be a worthy.

534
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: Challenger of India.

535
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I like it.

536
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 4: What do you think?

537
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: Well, West Indy started the last tournament really well as well.

538
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: That they're at home, they sort of crumbled a bit

539
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the tournament. I think that might

540
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: happen again to them. Unfortunately Sri Lanka. I have a

541
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: sneaky suspicion they could challenge a few sides, maybe cause

542
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: an upset or two first down the track. Things will

543
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: change obviously when we get to Indian conditions. But I

544
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: like it there squad. I like who they've got in

545
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: there at the minute, and like Sath Joy three and

546
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: charge of them as well.

547
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: It's another great name and good return to form for them. Absolutely,

548
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: so watch out for the Lancans.

549
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it is it is important to know the Indian factor,

550
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: the conditions like it does play a part chasing under

551
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 3: in the jew that kind of thing. So you talk

552
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 3: about the West Indies could fall away, but if they're

553
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 3: in the position where they're chasing a you know, one

554
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 3: seventy under Lights with their batting order, with poor and

555
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: flying you know that kind of thing, then you'd never

556
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: rule them out. So T twenty cricket is that way

557
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: that it is going to be hard to pick a winner.

558
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: India do look pretty hard to beat, but again, if

559
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 3: you get them in the right conditions, anyone can do.

560
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: It's possible that these Indian conditions might suit the West

561
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: in these more than the West Indian conditions suited their

562
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: team two years ago, isn't it? So all comes down

563
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: to where they're playing, and I guess who wins the

564
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: toss is so crucial in.

565
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: India, Well, isn't it exactly? All Right?

566
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the women's cricket side of things.

567
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: The Scoop podcast has just restarted up as well. So

568
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: if you want to get the inside scoop from Rana

569
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: Hussein and Molly Strano, head over there now just search

570
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: for the Scoop Cricket podcast. But the Aussie women, they

571
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: had a loss in their opening tea twenty unfortunately the

572
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: rain came down in Sydney and they weren't probably quite

573
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: at their best. But we did have rich Oh some

574
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: medal winners two announce throughout the week. Unfortunately we're not

575
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: having this year the presentation night of Alan Border Medal

576
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Blenda Clark Award, which you might be able to share

577
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: some stories from your experiences of going.

578
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: To those events.

579
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: But we did have Annabelle Stublind win her second back

580
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: to back Blenda Clark Award for the best women's cricketer

581
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: in the country. Beth Mooney won the T twenty player

582
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: for the fourth time, and the one day player also

583
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: went Annabelle Sublan. So congratulations to those two. They're just

584
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: stars of the game at the minute.

585
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are.

586
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: Annabel's kind of gone to another level, hasn't she since

587
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: well Louis Cameron said she was going to be the

588
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: breakout player going back a few months, so he's probably

589
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 3: sitting in drinking.

590
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: Pretty happy.

591
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 4: He's pretty happy with with what went on.

592
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, in terms of their content going forward, obviously disappointing.

593
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 3: It's been a disappointing week for Arian Krigets. It's nice

594
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 3: to have some awards to definitely think about and hopefully

595
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: they bounce back and get back into the series against India.

596
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: The domestic Player of the Year was Nicola Carey. She's

597
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: been incredible for the Hurricanes and Tasmania and she's a

598
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: special guest on this week's Scoop episode. So jump over

599
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: there if you want to have to listen to Nick

600
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: and the rest of the story and the women's side

601
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: of the game. So we'll take a quick braag will

602
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: come back with the Big Four, answer them, listen to

603
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: questions for it.

604
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 4: Jo.

605
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Richard, it's time for the Big Four. We debuted

606
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: this segment last week. I'm still not totally solid on

607
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: the name, but you gave us your top four associate

608
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: players of all time. Think Dirk Nana snuck in there

609
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: at the end, didn't he?

610
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 4: But that was Captain's cool from you.

611
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

612
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, this week you're gonna be captain and okay,

613
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to list off. But today's topic is Steve

614
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: Smith mannerisms because I thought him coming back into the

615
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: squad during the week. Now, I was full of hope

616
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: and optimism and he was back in the scored Australia.

617
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: They're still going to qualify. It didn't matter that they

618
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: lost Zimbabwe anyway. We get here now and we know

619
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: what we know. But I'm still going to stick to

620
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: this topic. Steve Smith mannerisms. The Top four or the

621
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: Big four. We'll so we start with number four and

622
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: it is no run. This sort of originated a few

623
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: years ago and he doesn't really done it a lot recently.

624
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: But and then I think Minus took it to another level.

625
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: But block the ball, no run, nice and loud at

626
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: the bowler.

627
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: That's my number one because that's a classic, isn't it.

628
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 4: So that's the number one.

629
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's my number four? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it

630
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: is a classic classic.

631
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

632
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 3: He should have trademarked it because, like you said, some

633
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: other guys, it's kids are saying it now, everyone's saying.

634
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: It, so he should have put the little scene next

635
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 4: to him. But very very iconic Smith call.

636
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: Imagine if he could get royalties for every time it's

637
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 2: not sure.

638
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I'm not sure he needs it. He's fine.

639
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: At number three is his umpiring. When he gets struck

640
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: on the pad, he often gives you, umpire a little signal,

641
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: a little helpful. That's going to miss, that's going to

642
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: be too high. I think he does it subconsciously. I'm

643
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: not even sure he's aware that he does it these days.

644
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: But he gets struck and he's already deciding that too high.

645
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: Forget about it. And I know that Louis Cameron, and

646
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: now another mention for Luis.

647
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: He hates it.

648
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: He hates when the batter is trying to influence the

649
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: umpire's decision. And you might have some thoughts about that

650
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: being a form of fast by yourself. You probably wouldn't

651
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: have liked it or appreciate it.

652
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 4: He was never out, even when it was like three

653
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: reds it come the rooms. Never out.

654
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: So again, I don't think he knows he's doing. It's

655
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 3: almost muscle memories. But he's going to make a great umpire.

656
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: So once he does retire.

657
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: That's true.

658
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: Look for him getting fast tracked into umpire and can't

659
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: wait to see it's going to be great.

660
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 1: At number two, I've got Steve's extravagant leaves. You know,

661
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: sometimes it'll be at going down the league side and

662
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: he'll still put the bat all the way in the

663
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: air as if to say, I'm not an we're going

664
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: to think about touching that. Yeah, bowllet into my off

665
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: stump or at least on the stumps, because that's ridiculous.

666
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: And so he does that, he gets to go and

667
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: I think when the extravagant leaves are really flying, that's

668
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: when you know he's in the zone and he's really

669
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: got it.

670
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 4: Well, we spoke about that pre ashes that that's in

671
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 4: the Shill game.

672
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 3: He was up and about with his mannerisms, which is

673
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: always a good sign, and it was wasn't it the

674
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: way he performed?

675
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 4: So I thought that would be number one for sure,

676
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 4: did you Yeah, I thought that would be number one.

677
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: Well, number one.

678
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: It's only come to light this summer, even though there

679
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: is footage of him.

680
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: Doing it for years prior. But it's the hand signal,

681
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: isn't it.

682
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: It's the little cupped hand and maybe a U shape

683
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: that he's making. He claims it's not anything to do

684
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: with the bowler. It's more where his hand is on

685
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: the bat and He's always spoken about finding his hands,

686
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: isn't he When he's found his hands, that's when it works.

687
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: But it's the sea.

688
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: Now we see kids when they hit the power surge button,

689
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: they're doing the sea. We see my Loo cricket kids,

690
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: they're doing it. It's part of meme culture out of

691
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: the sea. So again he's just influential and it's this

692
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: new mannerism that we love and hopefully.

693
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: It continues well.

694
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: Jake Weatherorld had an interesting take on it as well,

695
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 3: the origins of that hand signal going back to the

696
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: South Stralian dressing room. Yeah, that's right, whether or not

697
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: that is the same. But I know Joffre did it

698
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: the other night at the World Cup, so did he miss?

699
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: I actually cop that from Smithy, didn't he that night?

700
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: That's right at the game too fast champion, when there's

701
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: nothing going on. He just went out the other day.

702
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: Daniel Drew actually, who is rumored to be the origin,

703
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: the originator of that hand signal, put it on his Instagram.

704
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: So I don't know, we need to do we need

705
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: to delve into this more.

706
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: I think we do, because so Jake on the Unplayable

707
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: podcast before the Adelaide Test told us that was a

708
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: Daniel Drew signal for have a spell, champ or have

709
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: a rest. Can you shed any light onto that? Inside

710
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: the South Australia dressing.

711
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: Room, it was I was back end of my career

712
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: there being a a lot older. I do remember guys

713
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: doing that to each other, but again being older, I

714
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: was not paying any attention to what the young kids

715
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: were doing. But yeah, it was. It was definitely a thing.

716
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: And then it was in Club Creed as well. Guys

717
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 3: were doing that to each other all the time.

718
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: So and everybody knew that man have a spec.

719
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like aunt a strange thing.

720
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: Jake Frais mcgurth does it quite a lot and says

721
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 3: that quite a lot too to the bowler.

722
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: No, it's more of phil.

723
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: They say it to each other if someone says something

724
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: stupid though, right, that's how they kind of pin them down.

725
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: So is it just it could have been a coincidence

726
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: that these two things have merged, and.

727
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: I think so, But I think Smithy, knowing Smithy, would

728
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: have put a cricket spin on it, and then it

729
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: would have been to do with his hands, fining his hands.

730
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: He saw Sydney smash, he hit that one out of

731
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: the ground or on the roof and then did that

732
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: in the dressing room or whatever. So knowing Smithy, he

733
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: would have no idea what it actually meant originally, and

734
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: he would have been like he would have been tapping

735
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 3: his bat look in his hand. It would have been like, oh,

736
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 3: that's the same signal, and then.

737
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. The rest is history there.

738
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: So a lot of people thought Jake might have been

739
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: making up, but there's a lot of hard Yeah. I

740
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: think it is also truth to what's Steve stay.

741
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: Actually, you see Steve Smith playing live golf in the

742
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: round in the lead up to live Golf, I.

743
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 2: Saw a little bit of inst see the mannerisms.

744
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: They translate to golf. So after we hit a shot,

745
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 4: he would.

746
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 3: Which which is my favorite mannerism, when he yes, when

747
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: one bounces a bit more than a shure, if it

748
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: seems a bit more than it should, it's always that

749
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: and he did it. He did it when we played

750
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: warm up soccer volleyball for six if one bounced a

751
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: bit much, he would do the same like that. He's

752
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 3: done that since he was like sixteen at the Academy.

753
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 4: I remember him doing that.

754
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: So that's worthy mentioned for me as Captain nice a

755
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: number number five. I can't take the mannerisms out of

756
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: Steve Smith exactly. It translates all borders, all sports and

757
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: again will be a great umpire.

758
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: If we've missed any let us know podcasts at crickets

759
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: dot com dot you. That's the email address to get

760
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: in touch with, or the cricket dot com dot you

761
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: Instagram page. Joe, let's go around the grounds quickly. The

762
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: Shepherd Shield, of course is underway again round eight and

763
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: there have been some interesting scores so far. We are

764
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: talking mid round so this will date fairly quickly, but

765
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: hundreds to Sam Harper and Will Sutherland and a ninety

766
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: nine to Sam Fanning. Over in the West, things are

767
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: looking pretty good for batting over there. It's the only

768
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: place in the country where runs are flowing.

769
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: It's the only place everywhere else everyone's winning the toss bowling,

770
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: aren't they on green ones again? So Sam Harper interesting

771
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: opening the batting and playing the same way that he's

772
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: kind of just flowed from the Big Bash and taking

773
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: it on, striking it well over one hundred. So he's

774
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: in some form and coming to the right age of

775
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: his career where you start to see a really good

776
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: putch of performance. So Victoria look amazing. Don't know, they're

777
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: starting to really break away. They had a loss last week,

778
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: but they look like well and truly establishing themselves as

779
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 3: the team to beat and having a home final.

780
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 4: So it's going to be who can challenge them.

781
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, even that loss last week, Even with that loss,

782
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: they've still got a big buffer on the second place,

783
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: and that was without Scott Boland, Will Sutherland, without Matt Short,

784
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: without Oly Peak, and they brought all those fallback into

785
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: this round. Amazing depth that they've got there at the minute.

786
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: Campbell Thompson is one who made his debut for South

787
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: Australia this round. Left armor looked very good on a yeah,

788
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: sure it was a helpful wicket up at the Gabba,

789
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: but had Ozma Quadra in a lot of trouble early on.

790
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: It took a couple of wickets as well, so great

791
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: science for him. We've got some runs from the Shield

792
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: veterans Jake Lehman and Jimmy Pearson.

793
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: G They're so reliable, aren't they. They get runs no

794
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 2: matter the situation.

795
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: Well, so handy coming in that middle order when teams

796
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: are under the palm like to have that guy who's

797
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: always just going to find a way to get a

798
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: seventy Jimmy Pearson. I think every time I ever played

799
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: him in child cricket, he would always do that, would

800
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: never miss out.

801
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: Only if they were going well, he'd miss out.

802
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: I swear he's that guy who just back against the wall.

803
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: Typical Queenslander, isn't He just never never, never says die.

804
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: So that's going to be again, like you say, this

805
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: will date, but it's going to be an interesting end

806
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: to that game with again, as we say, who's challenging

807
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: for second Queensland look like they could, but that that

808
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 3: result is going to really dictate that definitely.

809
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: And for South Australia five wickets who all around it,

810
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Liam Scots he's had another good yep, another tick to

811
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: his name. He's had a great season and did it

812
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: with the bat as well for the Strikers in the

813
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: big bat.

814
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

815
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: No, it's been the Summer of Scotty for you and

816
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: for him and for South Australia and the Strikers. So

817
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: he's really put his name up in lights heading forward

818
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: and as we say, as we were talking about before

819
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 3: with Australia going forward in White Bull cricket. I know

820
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: there's some good all arounders in terms of you know,

821
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: Cam Green's probably the same age, but you know there's

822
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: some other guys that are aging now. So for someone

823
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 3: like that to be performing in the Big Bash under

824
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 3: crowd pressure and TV pressure and now going back to

825
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 3: Shield crege and just really honing his craft, he is

826
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: great to see. So, yeah, he's going to be one

827
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 3: of those guys who has a big future for Australia.

828
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: And New South Wales.

829
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: They're in a good position against Tasmania and New South

830
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: Wales can still make the final as well.

831
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: They've sacked their coach, Greg Sheppard.

832
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: He's going to coach until the end of the season

833
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: and so maybe there's a bit more on the line

834
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: for him and his charges.

835
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: This season. Liam Hatcher took five in the first things.

836
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: He's now the leading we could take it in this

837
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: year Chef Goodchield at twenty nine and he's having a

838
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: career best season, isn't.

839
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 4: He He is?

840
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he interestingly didn't play a lot in the Big Bush.

841
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 3: I've always been a fan of yours. I just think

842
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 3: he comes He's one of those guys who just runs

843
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 3: in the same pace all day bowls, the same pace,

844
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 3: real big heart, flat wickets all the same. He would

845
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 3: just never go away. So yeah, worthy to be at

846
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: the top of the wickets and interesting. Jackson Byrd's hundredth

847
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: games for Tasmania as well, so shout out to him

848
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: playing against his first date but also his former states.

849
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 4: It's funny how things work out.

850
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 3: So he'll be looking to get in the wickets and

851
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: get his Tazzi team back into interaction.

852
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely congratulations to Jackson Bird, one of the great servants

853
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: of Sheffield child cricket. So hopefully there's going to be

854
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: a day where he's not running in from at balret

855
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: Voval and it's not just is there though, it.

856

Speaker 3: I'm being thirty five, I get out of bed sore.

858
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 3: I don't know how you know him. Peter Siddle, this guy,

859
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: I don't know how they do it. Sis is over

860
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 3: forty now, isn't he is? He's not playing shield cricket,

861
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 3: but he's still bowling one hundred footy. I couldn't do that,

862
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: So heads off to those guys. But Jackson Burd I

863
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 3: just feel like he's just going to play till these eighties,

864
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 3: he's going to run him from that same end and

865
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: just plug away, and why not?

866
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 4: Why not do it exactly?

867
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: All right?

868
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: We're going to finish with a couple of questions for

869
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: your rich Oh we've got one from a listener and

870
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: one from me. Because you've eased into retirement, we're not

871
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 1: just going to let you off the hook.

872
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: Okay, that easily.

873
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: So I want to maybe drill down into a certain

874
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: aspect of your career each week, and for this week,

875
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: I want to look at what was the biggest six

876
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: you were hit for?

877
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, that's my question for you.

878
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: Do you want to drill down into my career? Okay?

879
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well how long we got because again, this is

880
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 3: pretty big catalog.

881
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: There must be one or two.

882
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: There's definitely one or two come to mind. I think

883
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: I've told one before about Rohu Chama as indoor.

884
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: No, I don't know if we have, didn't we So.

885
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: Playing in indoor the city pull shot out of the ground,

886
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 3: small ground, but he hit it out of the ground,

887
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: and the.

888
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 4: Boys like, he just hit you outdoor.

889
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was good.

890
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 4: That's that sticks.

891
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: That's a classic. It was a classic. And that ball

892
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 3: come back out of the ground.

893
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: He charged.

894
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 3: I dug it in and he just wrote it chum

895
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: a pool shot. Just all the stars aligne. It was

896
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 3: just perfect timing. So I dropped the cap. Well, I

897
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 3: wasn't wearing a capture.

898
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 4: I was bowling.

899
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: But I hats off to him with no getting hit

900
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: for six.

901
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 4: But he did that to me.

902
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: Plenty of times again, lots of people have. The other

903
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 3: one is Martin gup to at Auckland at eden Park.

904
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: That's a small ground too.

905
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: It is, but he again, they're not just hitting me

906
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 3: over the over into the first right, they're hitting me

907
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 3: out of the ground, so right, yeah, straight hit, not

908
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 3: big but basically the top of eden Park Stadium which

909
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 3: is high bang into that.

910
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: So wow, were you playing in that game at eden

911
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: Park where Australia chased down two hundred and sixty or whatever.

912
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 4: It was forty five? Was were you there? Yeah?

913
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, great game, great game forgot him in.

914
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah I played that so yeah, numerous times been

915
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: hit for big ones. Chris Gale at Bangalore remember hit

916
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 3: me for austraight one hit kind of the corrugated iron

917
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 3: off the and it came off right back onto the field. No,

918
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: just straight down not the ball, the steel around the ground.

919
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 3: The sign that hit fell. It was almost like it

920
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 3: ruined the stadium. That's a danger for the crowd.

921
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was.

922
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: Where the side screen was, so luckily no one was there,

923
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: but it was literally traceable.

924
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 4: It's straight into the you know the what is it?

925
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: What do we call it here in Australia sign agel?

926
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 4: No, you know the it's like what we put in

927
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 4: our rooms.

928
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: I can't even think color bond.

929
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, color bond than straight down. So it would have

930
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 3: hurt someone if it fell on them. Yeah, they're probably

931
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 3: three that stand out. But again I've got a law.

932
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: Well, at least there's no travelers there, like you've got Sharma,

933
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: Gayale and Guptil.

934
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: There three of the big names of big hitters.

935
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: So there's been there's been tailings that have got me

936
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: so well, we don't have to doubt. We won't go

937
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: into that, not today.

938
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: Okay, good, And now the question that we've got from

939
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: Brady in Van Dua. He says, Richo, what is the

940
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: most embarrassing moment of your career and why was it

941
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: the mist runout versus Tasmania?

942
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 4: Well, do I need to do? I need to divulge in.

943
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 2: Some people won't know the story.

944
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 4: Well, it's a famous story.

945
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: It's quite quite high on the YouTube algorithm if you

946
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: put my name in. But look, I'll go through what

947
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: I felt at the time and you can you can judge.

948
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 3: So beautiful Yorka. That's probably the most important piece of

949
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: the story. It was great Yorker. It was last over

950
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: the game. I think they needed eight beautiful Yorker. Ben

951
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: Hilfanaws just chunked it back to me and my follow

952
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 3: through Ben Laughlin turns out was started running as if

953
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: it was a single and then gave up started walking.

954
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 4: To the change room. I picked the ball up.

955
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 3: I think I turned the opposite way to Ben, so

956
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know that he was walking off the ground.

957
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was under a bit of runout pressure

958
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 3: under arm, which was never a strength of mind knowing

959
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 3: just a training where we used to do under armed drills.

960
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 4: Never was good.

961
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: Clipped leg so it's hit the starm.

962
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 3: I will argue that till the day I die, and

963
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 3: I want some forensics on zoom in. But it clipped

964
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: leg right, deviated down to long on for one balls

965
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 3: didn't come off.

966
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: So when I say it clipped it must have been

967
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 4: the smallest.

968
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 2: But you do see that, don't you these days when

969
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: the all consume parts.

970
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 4: Are you making me feel better?

971
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 3: Because I was about that far away from the stumps,

972
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: not maybe a meet, we're the danger's own kind of area, right,

973
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 3: So I thought it was under more pressure than what

974
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 3: I was.

975
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that's basically harder to miss than to hit,

976
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: is what you're saying.

977
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, but again not a strength of my game.

978
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: Anyone out there. We don't practice under especially under pressure. Ever,

979
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 3: it's not an area of our game.

980
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 2: But I'm sure you would have gone on to win

981
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: the game Regardland.

982
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: No, we lost, So that's also why, Yeah, that's why

983
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 3: it starts so embarrassing moments if everyone drops catches everyone,

984
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: but no, not many people misrunouts from that close with

985
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 3: three stumps that in the last over a game then

986
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 3: going to lose.

987
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 4: But it was, it was. It was a one day

988
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: game against Tasmania at Bankstown.

989
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: So I think we should close the record on that

990
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 3: and burn that record and never talk about it again

991
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: because what a pointless game.

992
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 4: Again, now I'm retired, I can say, yeah, that's right, pointless.

993
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 2: I think that's a good way to end.

994
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 3: It's been great. Thanks for bringing both those those two

995
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 3: segments up. It's always nice to talk about my old

996
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 3: cricketing career.
