Speaker 1: VM to wherever you're listening today.

00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: This is Clearsy and Leases podcast.

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 3: Australia needs Bangladesh to do the deed against Afghanistan for

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 3: Australia to proceed and the T twenty World Cup. Jason

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 3: Berendorf unfortunately not there is here to discuss where they

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 3: go from here.

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: Morning Jason, Morning Russell. How are you going?

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: I'm well, a little, I guess like you, a little

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 3: disappointed that they couldn't do the job the last couple

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 3: of games. India obviously very very tough last night, going

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 3: down by twenty four runs. They could have done without

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 3: that loss to Afghanistan, that's for sure.

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. And I think unfortunately the lost

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: to Afghanistan has capitulated into what terms to be our

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: tournament hanging by a thread. So that was the really

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: tough loss to take. India can go either way. There's

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: such a powerhouse in world cricket, and yeah, it was

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: tough to see Rohit Sharma took the game away in

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: the power play. He absolutely took the game on he

21
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: hit Mitchell Stark. I think for about twenty five off

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: one of the first overs in the powerplay and he

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: set the tone from there. So it was always going

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: to be a tough long way back.

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: Sadly, the Ausis were a little bit wobbly heading into

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: it even before Afghanistan because I mean, you know, Scotland,

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: you know, certainly put some pressure on them too, didn't they.

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they certainly did. And Scotland are now getting more

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: exposure to international cricket and they've got some guys that

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: are playing at the highest level for a more substantial

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: period of time. So those experiences and then you look

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: at guys from all around the world now that are

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: getting opportunities to play and save the IPL or the

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: Caribbean League or it might be even some guys coming

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: to the Big Bash. It's those competitions as well that

36
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: are really enhancing their skill sets and when they take

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: them back back home to play for their country, suddenly

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: it lifts everyone and guys are always wanting to try

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: and get better now. So that's a really exciting for

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: the game.

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: It is great to bring these new countries through. It's

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: just as long as they don't do it against us.

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: That should be the stipulation.

44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: It should be in the fine print that's just your Yeah. Unfortunately,

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: Mitch Stark had the most expensive over of his international career. Wow,

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: that was a big one, wasn't it. Twenty nine off

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: one over.

48
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: And that's the hard thing in t twenty cricket. As

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: we know, the game is played at such a fast

51
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: and frenetic pace that it can happen and sometimes it

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: gets away from you a little bit. And it didn't

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: look like there was much swing for Mitchell Stark yesterday,

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: and trying to get that swing going for the fuller length,

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: which is what he does so well, and he looks

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: to attack and hit the stumps. But without the swing

57
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Roe hit Sharma was able to swing through the line

58
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: and actually be able to hit the ball in pretty

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: much wherever he felt like. And that's the hard thing

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: when you're playing against class batters like that, you miss

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: slightly and they'll genuinely capitalize.

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: On the other side. Travis the opener, he did seventy

63
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: six from forty three balls, got the run chase off

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: to a pretty promising start, so he certainly did.

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: And Travis Head has been in an amazing form in

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: all formats for at least twelve to eighteen months now.

68
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: The freedom he's playing with. We saw it in the

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: IPL in particular, just the way he goes about it,

70
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: swings his bat so clean, hits through the off side

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and the leg side beautifully. Yeah, he gave us a

72
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: real chance.

73
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, your fellow Scorches teammate and the Aussie captain at

74
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: the moment, Mitch marsk Mitch marsh sorry, he won the toss.

75
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: He chose to bowl first. Now that's happened a couple

76
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: of times in the tournament. Good choice in hindsight, do

77
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: you think given the game?

78
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, it's a really tough one because we

79
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: did the same thing against Afghanistan and I saw Rushi

80
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Khan was absolutely licking his lips that they got to

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: bowl second. So for me at the moment, looked at

82
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: the way those wickets have been playing. I feel like

83
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: you want runs on the board, and we talk about,

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: especially in big games leading into final, things like that

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: scoreboard pressure can be paramount and those are the things

86
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: that India did so well. They posted over two hundred runs,

87
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: so we know from the get go on a wicket

88
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: that's maybe not as conducive to taking it on all

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: the time that we've got to go at ten and

90
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: over from the get go, so it's quite tough.

91
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: So you're probably in a better position to be defending

92
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: rather than rather than chasing.

93
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would personally like to see that. And you

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: look at the way teams are set up. Obviously teams

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: have their strength, whether it be batting or bowling. But

96
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: we have such a good all round unit that I

97
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: back us to bat first and then to restrict with

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 1: the ball because the guys have been bowling beautifully throughout

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the tournament. You look at Adam Zampa, he's had a

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: great tournament, Marcus Styness as well, and the economical figures

101
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: from Josh Hazel yesterday he only went to fourteen runs,

102
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: So there's definitely points of it that you go, well, yeah,

103
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: maybe the decision to bowl first wasn't the right.

104
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: One Mathematically, as we know, Australia can still make the

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 3: semi finals. Of course, we're now waiting on Bangladesh and

106
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: hoping that they're going to beat Afghanistan, who of course

107
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: are no minnows anymore. There are definitely a rising, rising team.

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: That game begins in well less than an hour from now.

109
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: How likely do you think Bangladesh can do the job.

110
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to say I'm confident, but I think Afghanistan

111
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: will be too strong.

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

113
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Just on the recent performances as well. Afghanistan they knocked

114
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: us off the other night. They're playing some really good

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: cricket and their attack in particular, so from a bowling

116
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: side of things, suits the type of wickets over there.

117
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: You've got Rashid Khan who spins the ball both ways

118
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: that pace, You've got some of their experienced quick bowlers

119
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: who have great changes of pace as well, which is

120
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: patching in the surface which is slowing up nicely and

121
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: it makes the better It makes it tough for the

122
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: batters to score. So I think they're in a really

123
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: strong position, unfortunately from an Australian side, to play really

124
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: well against langlers. Yeah.

125
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: If fingers crossed somehow Bangladesh do do the job against Afghanistan.

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: Australia advance, they have to play South Africa another nice

127
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: easy one.

128
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: Hard for ourselves, haven't we.

129
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we certainly have. And that's the tough thing. When

130
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: you get through to the Super eight stages and in

131
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: the semi finals, you're obviously always going to be playing

132
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: against the best teams throughout the tournament. So Africa, I

133
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: don't think I've lost a game yet. They've been an

134
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: absolute powerhouse to play this well throughout the tournament. Usually

135
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: they've had their stumbles, particularly in World Cups against for example,

136
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: the Dutch, but they got over that one this year.

137
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's going to be a really

138
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: tough match if we get through there. And then you

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: look at the other side of the all as well

140
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: with England and India. Yeah, yeah, that's I remember the

141
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: chat Josh Hozer would was saying that the result against Scotland,

142
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: if it panned out that England were able to be

143
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: knocked out, it would be good for everyone. And now

144
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: they're England are sitting right at the top in the

145
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: semi finals.

146
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: So who do you think is going to grab the cup?

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: What's your what's your pick? Are you brave enough to pick?

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Well? Yeh, Look, it's always good to throw something and

149
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: throw a stub out there, isn't it. But with the

150
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: performance from India last night, I see India taking the cup.

151
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: This ship getting a little bit of revenge on us

152
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: for the Test Championship and the and the One Day

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: World Cup. They want to make sure they want to

154
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: make sure we don't get all three, don't.

155
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: They Yeah, exactly right, the triple crown. I think people

156
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: have been talking.

157
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be tough.

158
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just quickly, we've just found out the Scorches

159
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: have just made an announcement this morning that in August

160
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,239

Speaker 2: That's new.

163
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an exciting prospect. I think it's something that

164
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: has been looked at over the past couple of years

165
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: with some other big Bash teams and needs another state

166
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: organizations organizing teams to go up and play in the

167
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: competition there. So it's something that with Darwin's cricket season

168
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: they played during the winter with their wet seasons being

169
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: in the summer, so it's an excellent opportunity for guys

170
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: to get some great competitive cricket towards the back end

171
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: of pre season leading into our season here in Australia.

175
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: but in the Brisbane comp so they do a similar

176
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,480

177
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,400

Speaker 3: Great, and they can keep them in the country over

181
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: the winter months. They don't have to go to the
