1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: This episode of the Surge is brought to you by Origin,

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: proud partners of Cricket Australia and powering the Power Surge

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: in BBL fifty. It's been a BBL season to savor

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: and now there's just one game to go.

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: A lot of catch.

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: Davies will be on a hat trick day twice, your player.

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Of the tournament. Aaron Finch joins us to preview the

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: BBL Final, while six's young gun Joel Davies dials in

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: from Sydney ahead of his team's trip west to face

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: the Perth Scorches.

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: Australia.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: This is the Surgeyday, everybody, and welcome to the Surge,

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: the Grand final edition of the Surges. I mentioned I'm

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Madam White and we're joined by Aaron Finch to go

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: through the final. Finchy, the last two are the ones

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: that seem to be there all the time. It's going

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: to be six times these two have played off in

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: a final. The Scorches have won five titles. Of the

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: six is three. We've got the best two teams, the

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: best two clubs have got there again.

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's no surprise. We seem to be here more

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: often than not. In the fifteen years, that's an extraordinary

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: amount that these two have played in a final. So yeah,

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: I think from the point of view of the two teams,

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: they are clearly the best two for the season and

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: the two teams that continue to.

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: Get it done under pressure at the business end.

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: I think back to a couple of games ago, Hobart

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: had an opportunity to win comfortably against the Brisbane Heat

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: and secure.

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: A top two final.

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: They end up they end up butchering that run chase

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: and before you know it, they're out in a rain

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: effected game. Then they have to play away in a

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: semi final when they could have had the opportunity to

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: play at home. So yeah, it comes down to big

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: moments and these two teams have certainly done that over

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: their careers.

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: Have you got a theory as to why they're so

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: good those two teams?

41
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: They're keeping the list together is one thing that you

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: need to do, and they've certainly done that throughout the

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: history of the competition. You think down the list of

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: players that have been constant for both teams and they've

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: got Ashton Turner, Ashton Agar, Aaron Hardy. They're players that

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: play majority of the Big Bash tournament each and every year.

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: I know Agar is out injured at the moment, and

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: then you've got Moses on Reeks, Jordan Silk, those type

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: of players that form really important roles within your team

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: in that middle order. The ability to play with and

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: against sorry with each other year after year, train with

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: each other right throughout the tournament as well, right throughout

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: the year. In Shield cricket, you just build trust with

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: each other. You understand what it takes to get the

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 2: best out of each other as well, and that, yeah,

56
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: that's no secret while why they've been so successful.

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: I remember Hodgy Brad Hodge said this on The Surge

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: last year where he talked about how under pressure in

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: big moments, you have this feeling when you're in the field,

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: you look around and when you see someone that you're

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: familiar with, someone you've paid a lot of crete with,

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: you trust them. So when the big moments are there,

63
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: the high pressure moments are there, you kind of feel

64
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: you've got people around you that you trust it they're

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: going to get the job done when it matters most.

66
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: And it sort of backs up to your point when

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: you look across both teams. Yes, there's bits and pieces

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: that are a bit different, but largely that core is

69
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: the same.

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what it does it gives you a calmness

71
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: within yourself as well, because often what you'll see from

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: some teams is they will go right, I have to

73
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: go above and beyond my skill set to do something

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: special in a final, whereas these teams they just go

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: you know what. I know what you are going to deliver.

76
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: I know what he's going to deliver each and every time.

77
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: And yes, you win some, you lose some, and that's

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: a part of the game. But you know, predictability is

79
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: a good thing in sport.

80
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: We know T.

81
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Twenty cricket has chaos thrown in, but you need the

82
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: predictable element to it, where where like you said, you

83
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: look around and you go right, if the ball gets

84
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: hit out there, I know what my field is going

85
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: to do with ball in hand.

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: I know that.

87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: Joy Richardson or Sewan Abbott, Ben Dorsher they will execute

88
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: under pressure and make it as difficult as possible for

89
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: the opposition. So it's a really good point and absolutely

90
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: goes a long way to being really calm in those

91
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: big moments, and that's what you need.

92
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: Before we dig down to the final. At per Stadium

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. I do want to talk about the

94
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: two teams that missed out. We'll start with the Hurricanes,

95
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: two teams that made the finals but obviously are not playing.

96
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: In the final.

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: The Hurricanes kind of felt like it all just caught

98
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: up with them in the end. Without having Nathan Allie,

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Chris Jordan couldn't bowl. We know that Tim David didn't

100
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: play the second half of the tournament, but it just

101
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: felt it all caught up with him in the end.

102
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were hot favorites for a lot of the

103
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: tournament as well, so and again it was a small

104
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: moment in a game that might have seemed insignificant at

105
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: the time, where you go, it's okay, we've just lost one.

106
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: But they had that game against the Brisbane Heat and

107
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: the palm in their hand. They was just over a

108
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: running ball with plenty of wickets in hand, and you

109
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: just canter to that chase, your locking a top two spot,

110
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: and then you regroup again and if you slip up

111
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: with one or two games to go in the season,

112
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: it's okay because you've locked in that spot.

113
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: Second chances that's so important.

114
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: A home final, well, it would have been a home

115
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: semi final, even if they had have gone to Perth

116
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: and lost, and we know how good they are in

117
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: their home conditions. So yeah, it's just one of those

118
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: things where you look down at it and you go, well,

119
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: that's a huge opportunity missed and on the back of

120
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: winning the title last year that that puts fear in

121
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: opposition and Mitchell Owen did that of his best year,

122
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: but you go, you get him to a final, can

123
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: you repeat the dose. So yeah, it was a really

124
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: disappointing end to Hobart, particularly with how well they played

125
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: at different points. Yes, injury plays a big part in

126
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: sport and there's nothing you can do about that, so

127
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: that's just an unfortunate side to it.

128
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: So you feel like almost like when they lost to

129
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: the Heat the unlosable game, that that almost was like

130
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: a dark cloud that hung over them, that kind of

131
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: like they couldn't shake that missed opportunity because it was

132
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: always going to be more difficult for them the moment

133
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: they lost that game.

134
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you go the long way around in the finals

135
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: and you make one slip up to win three games

136
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: on the bounce is incredibly tough in t twenties, particularly

137
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: when you've got the best sides in it. You can

138
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: do it if you're a really good side and you

139
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: come up with some oppositions that you should get over

140
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: quite comfortably, but to do it against quality oppositions and

141
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: other things. So yeah, they didn't give themselves the best

142
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: chance in the end and it was a disappointing ending

143
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: the Stars.

144
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people very emotional about the Stars

145
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: having I guess.

146
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: They shouldn't be emotional about it.

147
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: They should just be well, another season come, another season gone,

148
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: we'd go again.

149
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the fans Finchy are very emotional that it

150
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: felt like this was going to be their year. And

151
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: you know again, first half of the season they're undefeated,

152
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: they were going along really nicely. I'm a bit defensive

153
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: of them in this situation because it was one of

154
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: those games ten overs versus seven overs, the rain, anything

155
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: could have happened. It was a real sort of pop

156
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: luck situation. How did you assess them in that final?

157
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: But also a sort of a more holistic look at

158
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: their season.

159
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: Well, I said just before, what if predictability is one

160
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: thing in sport that we love and it was predictable again.

161
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: The Melbourne Stars get to a final, and we'll get

162
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: to a finals campaign and can't get it done.

163
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: So that is predictable.

164
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: So you can say all you want about well they

165
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: had they won five in a row at the start

166
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: of the tournament, they were playing beautifully, but the reality

167
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: is that they didn't get it done. I thought in

168
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: that final they were tactically really poor as well. Yes,

169
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: they are on the wrong end of the conditions in

170
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: terms of Hanovers. Then gets cut down a seven. They

171
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: lose a power surge over and I understand that, and

172
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: I would understand the frustration as a fan, where you go, well,

173
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: how's that fair? So I get that side of it,

174
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: But they still got it tactically wrong to have Stilliness

175
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: and Maxwell in the sheds and Cartwright when with two

176
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: overs to go they got so close in the end.

177
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: But imagine putting them in at the start. You say, right, Steing,

178
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: you're going up and opening the bating with Sam Harper, MAXI,

179
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: You're going through Hilton Cartwright. For no disrespect to Tom

180
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: Rogers or Joe Clark, these guys have got form when

181
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: it comes to winning big moments and winning matches for

182
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: their team. So they got that tactically very very wrong,

183
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: and another wasted opportunity from with a side that on

184
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: paper looked like that they'd started to sort it all

185
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: out and they had a good mix of match winners

186
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: with bad a ball.

187
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: So they'll be bitterly disappointed.

188
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: What happens for them? Now, what do you think they do?

189
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: Because it's twoas in a row. They've got through to

190
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: the finals, but out at the first hurdle. Do they

191
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: have to shake things up? Is that just maybe things

192
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: around the edges.

193
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

194
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: It's a hard one, isn't it? Because on paper there

195
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: there's still a super talented side. They've got guys all

196
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: through the order where you go right that batting lineup

197
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: can win a match by themselves. Sam Harper had a

198
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: great year. Maxi had a really poor year. So you

199
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: put that piece of the puzzle back in there. And

200
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: whether it is Maxi again or whether he says, you know,

201
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: I need a fresh start somewhere else for a couple

202
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: of years, I don't know which way that those conversations

203
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 2: will go. But just the fact to me that he

204
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: kept slipping lower and lower down the order. He ended

205
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: up batting at number seven, number eight. One game, Tom

206
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: Curran come up in front of him in that game

207
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: at the MCG so to me that and he hasn't

208
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: been signed yet. They have announced quite a few of

209
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: their signings, so yeah, that's a tough one with the ball.

210
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: I thought they were excellent right throughout SIDS was brilliant.

211
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: Can he back up that performance again if he gets

212
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: his body in the same shape as he did this year?

213
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Harris Rail, Yeah, there's enough match when is there?

214
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: For me?

215
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: They just probably need to add Joe Clark.

216
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: He's a player that is a damaging player, but is

217
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: he going to bring consistency to your side.

218
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.

219
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: He can do it in small doses, but doesn't really

220
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: get it done as frequent as what they would need.

221
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: So maybe they do need that stability type player where

222
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: you know what, you take a strike rate of one

223
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: hundred and forty, but you're banking three hundred runs for

224
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: the year. Yeah, maybe there's a different way to look

225
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: at it there.

226
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: You know MAXI better than most it was.

227
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

228
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: And we had him in the Surge in the studio

229
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: here last week and he had that real passion for

230
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: the Stars. He really wanted them to do well this year.

231
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: It was really playing on his mind, but if you

232
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: look at his competition, it was in a very uncharacteristic

233
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: year from him. I don't think just the lack of runs,

234
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: but even the lack of want to get out there

235
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: in those big moments. He was being held back. Now,

236
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that was him or whether that

237
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: was the coaching staff that were holding him back, but

238
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: it just wasn't wasn't the Maxwell we're used to seeing.

239
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: What how would you assess his season and what he

240
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: doesn't he to do?

241
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: Potentially, Yeah, it was a poor season, no doubt.

242
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: He didn't get the runs that he would have liked,

243
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 2: he didn't have the impact when he did have the opportunity.

244
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: So it was just an almost a what if season?

245
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: What if he had just knocked him around a bit

246
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: earlier in the season and got into the tournament. I

247
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: think with MAXI a lot of it comes down to

248
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: his body. He's had a shocking run with injury over

249
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, so I think his ability

250
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 2: to train at the intensity that he would like and

251
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: mentally that can play a part on you as a

252
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: player role because you know how you want to train.

253
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: And you know what you are capable of doing.

254
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: Generally, but yeah, just his body hasn't allowed him to

255
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: do that, so maybe that just sets you back slightly

256
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: in your start to the tournament. It's a quick tournament

257
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: as well. Yes it's ten games, but it still comes

258
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: and goes pretty quick. You might play four games in

259
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: in ten days and then have a little break and

260
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: then go again. So if you're in or average form

261
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: for two weeks, you're well and truly behind the eight

262
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: ball and that catches up with you. Even the best

263
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: players that they start to doubt themselves the older they get.

264
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: So you say before maybe a change is something that

265
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: he needs. Do you think that? Do you think that's

266
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: realistic that he would look at a chance to play

267
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: it at another club to finish off his domestic T

268
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: twenty career.

269
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if he would.

270
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: And to me, seeing the stability he had has in

271
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: his life, it's around a Christmas time, no doubt with family.

272
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: Maybe that's one part where he goes, you know what,

273
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm not prepared.

274
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: To do that.

275
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: It's worked pretty well for Chris Lynn over the last

276
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: couple of years. We're on Channel seven last night on

277
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: The Spin with Brad Hodge and he talked about the

278
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: last couple of years he had when he went to

279
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 2: the Adelaide Strike because he loved the opportunity to play

280
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: somewhere different, to say, you know what, I've got two

281
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 2: years left in my career. I'm just going to give

282
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: it my fresh voices, fresh ideas, new environment, but also

283
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: a new group of young kids to be able to go,

284
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: you know what, I can pass as much knowledge as

285
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: I can and almost use that as motivation in itself.

286
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, maybe there is an opportunity for MAXI to

287
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: do that. But whether he wants to do that, I'm

288
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: sure the Melbourne Renegades could find a spot in their

289
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: middle order for him.

290
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: If he just wanted to stay in Melbourne, slide down

291
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 3: the road to mar Stadium.

292
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: Well he could finish off where he started off. That's

293
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: it's as simple as that, and join your mob, FINCHI.

294
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: That'd be nice, wouldn't it.

295
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: All Right, let's get to the final now it's the

296
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: Scorches and the Sixers in Perth. They both had an

297
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: interesting ride. We'll start with the Sixers and remember talking

298
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: to Moses Henricaz on the surge. I think it was

299
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: on New Year's Day after they they beat the Renegade

300
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: but it was a bit of a sort of scrappy

301
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: kind of affair, and he actually talked about how he

302
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: was concerned that the team was almost a bit complacent,

303
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: a bit rusty. They just couldn't quite get themselves going.

304
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, at that point in the season

305
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: they were just a bit below fifty to fifty win loss.

306
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: But they clearly have turned it around. What if you

307
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: like from them to see them actually elevate themselves back

308
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: into a final.

309
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: Obviously having the injection of Steve Smith at the top

310
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: of the order.

311
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: That that brings a lot of runs, that brings a

312
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: confidence to the rest of the group, which is which

313
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: is unquantifiable generally, but the fact that he walks in

314
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: and says, you know what, I'm the big dog here.

315
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to play how everybody expects me to play

316
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: and how I want to express myself in T twenty cricket.

317
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: So that's one piece of the puzzle, I think, having

318
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: a really clear structure that they go with, how they

319
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: set up with the ball. They've got Mitchell Start coming back,

320
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: one of our all time greats. But then you've got

321
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: Gausius who's been in really good form. Sean Abbott the

322
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: experience that he brings Ben Menentti and Joel Davies with

323
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: the spin options as well, so they look like a

324
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: side that can beat anybody in any conditions. And complacency

325
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: in T twenty cricket is one thing. And like Moses

326
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: said that, maybe you turn up against the Melbourne Renegades

327
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: and you go right, have a look at our side.

328
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: We'll get the job done and then you get a

329
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: scrappy win, but that can also be a real reset

330
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: for you as well and go right, that didn't go well,

331
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: why didn't it go well?

332
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: What do we need to do better? And from then

333
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: on they've been brilliant.

334
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: They've been really clinical, besides the first final that they

335
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: played in Perth where they absolutely butchered a run chase

336
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: where they couldn't get Steve Smith on strike and they

337
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: were losing wickets at the other end and that was

338
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: a bit chaotic and uncharacteristic from the Sydney Sixers. But yeah,

339
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: they've got the experience to win big moments in big games,

340
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: and that's why this final is so important for both teams,

341
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: I think, because they've got they've got a similar sort

342
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: of makeup to their side, where you've got guys that

343
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: have been there and done it so often it'll almost

344
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: be a shock to them if they don't get over

345
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: the line.

346
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: You've played a lot of cricket with Steve Smith, a

347
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: lot of white ball creek with Steve Smith. What you're

348
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: seeing at the moment is that? Is that the sort

349
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: of quality that should be in a World Cup squad?

350
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: You know, should he be going across to the subcontinent,

351
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: And just purely from a batting point of view, what

352
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: are you liking from him? How good is it what

353
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing at the moment from Smith?

354
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: It is unbelievable T twenty.

355
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: Cricket is hard no matter what level you play, and

356
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: hard to be consistent and consistently good at that level

357
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: where he's striking around two hundred, almost taking the mickey

358
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: at times. So I'm just loving seeing him play with

359
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: that absolute freedom. Says, you know what, I am dropping

360
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: down a level from international cricket and I'm going to

361
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: show you how much better I am than everybody else.

362
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: And it's been brilliant to see, and it should be

363
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: brilliant for the young players both at the Sydney six's

364
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: to get the opportunity. So I text Greg hip the

365
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: other day and after the first final that they lost,

366
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: and I said, the elblows not understand that your batting

367
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: with probably the greatest player they will ever see. Enjoy

368
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: batting at the other end, get him on strike and

369
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: watch the show. But they're all trying to compete with him,

370
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: and you don't do that. I learned that the hard

371
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: way of trying to compete with David Warner. You're never

372
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: going to win that battle. You can't do it day

373
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: in day out. So just enjoy the show and appreciate

374
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: what you've got. In terms of the World Cup, I

375
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: think that the decision that you have to make is

376
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: he's competing for one spot, I think, and that's a

377
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: Tim or Travis Head at the top of the order.

378
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: I think the way that Australia is structuring up their

379
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: side with some more rounders and serious power, they want

380
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: that from number three onwards, when they've got it from

381
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: the top right the way down to number seven. So

382
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: Mitchell Marsh's captain, Travis Head's the other opening batter, so's

383
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: competing for one spot. In my opinion, the flexibility of

384
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: the rest of the players in the squad. And Andrew

385
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: McDonald's talked about they want to be a team that

386
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 2: puts it all on the line and goes hard from

387
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: ball one. So they've got I think Cameron Green will

388
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 2: bat at three, Tim David four if he's fit, Marcus Daunus,

389
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: Josh Englis, Glenn Maxwell. So there is that stability player

390
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: in there, and it's Josh Engliss.

391
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: And he's the keeper.

392
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: So you're not getting that spot and you're not winning

393
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: the battle against Travis Head. So yes, it's unfortunate. It's

394
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: not what people want to hear because they go, well,

395
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: have a look at the formans and he has to play,

396
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: but there also has to be a spot there for

397
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: you to get a game, and Travis Heads a pretty

398
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: good one to have in your back pocket if you

399
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: fit the Australian forget team at the moment.

400
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Even as you're rolling through that team now, it's a

401
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: very strong team and you can certainly understand why he

402
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: isn't there at the moment, particularly the fact he doesn't bowl.

403
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: You know, there's so.

404
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: Much versatility in the Australian team that on any one

405
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: day you might bowl four overs, you might not bowl

406
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: at all, you might bat it three, you might bat

407
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: at seven. I mean they've got that flexibility in that team.

408
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do.

409
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: And the fact that there's the all rounders in there

410
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: that will say, right, we can play we can go

411
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: two quicks and two genuine spinners, or we can go

412
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: with one quick and then news Cameron Green and Marcus Dounus,

413
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: and then we can play three spinners including Maxwell with

414
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: the ball or Cooper Connelly. Should they go the left

415
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: handed option in that middle to lower order as well.

416
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think the way that the team's fronted

417
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: up now and the way Andrew McDonald and Mitch marsh

418
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: I've got it going that it's a tough team to

419
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: get into because of the versatility of all the players there.

420
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: We're talking to Joel Davies shortly, Fincy. I'm fascinating your

421
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: views on what he's been able to do a twenty

422
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: two year old, the younger brother of Ollie Davies, but

423
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do through the tournament. Obviously

424
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: it's had an impact on the Sixers, But just from

425
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: an individual point of view, I'm sure I can remember

426
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: a player that's risen as much as he has where

427
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: he actually contributes with ball, with bat, but also in

428
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: the field.

429
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's a wonderful young talent.

430
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: I'd love seeing him go about it throughout the season,

431
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: even to chatting to him around games and at airports.

432
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: I had a good chat to him the other day.

433
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: There's a real calmness and a real confidence about his ability.

434
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: But you should see the smile he has on his

435
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: face every time someone wants to talk cricket with him.

436
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: He's just a kid who is excelling at his skills

437
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: at the moment.

438
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: I love what he brings to the table.

439
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: He's somebody who can have a huge career for Australia.

440
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: He showed last night.

441
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: He just walks in and goes, you know what power

442
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: surge I'll take on the leg spin A four to

443
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: six had to poultse that team and that momentum in

444
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 2: the power surge, which is unbelievable.

445
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been amazing. So as we sort of switch

446
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: across to the Scorches, but then also factoring in the

447
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: fact that these two teams played in a final only

448
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: a few days ago and as you said, it was

449
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: a dominant before Mormans from the Scorches, does that have

450
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot, a little bit or no kind of impact

451
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: on how the game will be played in the final.

452
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll have any impact, to be honest,

453
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 3: Whitey that.

454
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: You say with the dominant performance, but Finn Allen was

455
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: the only player who really got going with the Batty

456
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: got forty nine I think it was yep, and they

457
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: only got one forty seven. So nine times out of

458
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: ten you look at the Sydney Sixers and you say, right, perfect,

459
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: perfect run chase. We've got Babber at the top. We've

460
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: got Steve Smith, Babbi, you can anchor down the units.

461
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: He gets out early.

462
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 3: That happens. But then they just imploded.

463
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: They didn't have a plan for fast bowling through the

464
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: middle overs with mid on and mid off up inside

465
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: the circle. They just smacked the wicket and guys kept

466
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 2: trying to hit the ball aerial. So they will come

467
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: with a better plan, they will come more well prepared than.

468
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: What they were the other night. So I think that

469
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: it actually works the other way.

470
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: I think that favors the Sydney Sixers because they go,

471
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 2: you know what, we did play very well and we've

472
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: still got reasonably close. On paper it was still twenty

473
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: odd runs, but we're only chasing one fifty. So from

474
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: that point of view big tick. We got our bowling right.

475
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: We shut down a really powerful Perth lineup. Steve Smith

476
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: got in good form. Sorry, he was in good form.

477
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: We just couldn't get him on strike enough in the

478
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: power plays if they faced three balls. I think in

479
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: the first four overs when you're trying to maximize that

480
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: first power play, so I think that they'll go with

481
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence.

482
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: So yeah, we didn't get it right. But we were

483
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 3: also really close to.

484
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: Marley Bidman and Steve Smith. I mean it was such

485
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: a great bealle to watch. The other night he gets

486
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: another crackety in the Youngster coming through.

487
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is really impressive. He has been all year.

488
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 2: Every opportunity that's been presented to him has taken it.

489
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: What I love about his game is it's not just right.

490
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 2: I run in on a bowl fast and I've got

491
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 2: nothing else to go to if that doesn't go well.

492
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: He looks like a player who thinks his way through

493
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: situations as well, which is a great sign for such

494
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 2: a young player. He knows when to use his slow balls,

495
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: he knows when to almost bluff a batter as well,

496
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, his upside is enormous.

497
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: I've loved what he's brought to the table.

498
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: I love his passion and the other night he was

499
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: bringing out the Brettley chainsaw.

500
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: It was brilliant.

501
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: And of course we've got Mitchell Stark up against Mitch Marsh.

502
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: That is a heavyweight battle.

503
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: It certainly is. Yeah, Mitchell love's pace on the ball.

504
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: Mitch Stark loves bowling fast, so it'll be a fascinating matchup.

505
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if they threw some spin early

506
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 2: on it at Marsh and finn Allen maybe an over

507
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: of Davies, let's ask him about that. Is he prepared

508
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: to bowl with the brand new ball first up? So yeah,

509
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: there's plenty of options that they can go with. And

510
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 2: Mitch Marsh, he's got the flat to the floor every

511
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: time he walks out to bat at the moment, he's

512
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: not looking anywhere else except maximums.

513
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: The firepower of the scorches with the batting. Can that

514
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: come off in a final or is it actually going

515
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: to be the defense which they've built titles around in

516
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: the past, even though it's a lot younger the look

517
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: of their bowling attack this year.

518
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: No, I think the firepower can definitely get the job done.

519
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's the innings of han balls that can have

520
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: a big impact on a final. We saw Joel Davies

521
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: last night just go walk out and go bang bang bang,

522
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: and that was huge momentum birth Scorches. They've got players

523
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: that can do that. Ashton Turner he's been in really

524
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: good form throughout the season as well, so he's a

525
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 2: player that plays ultra high risk cricket, particularly against spin

526
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: early on. So that will bring either an opportunity to

527
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: put the Sydney Sixers under maximum pressure or it'll create

528
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: an opportunity the other way. Laurie Evans. He's had a

529
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: stinker of a tournament really when you look at his numbers,

530
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: but he hasn't also had that much of opportunity to

531
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: be able to have a big impact either. So that'll

532
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: be a really fascinating middle order to see how they

533
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: go about it. Obviously dictated by whether they bat or

534
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: bowl first, but I think it can They've got it

535
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: can play both roles really well. Aaron Hardy he's someone

536
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: who can soak up pressure or be really aggressive. Cooper

537
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: Connelly as well, So yeah, it's going to be brilliant.

538
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: Who a you tipping?

539
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 2: I'm tipping the Sixers, though I've just I've just reeled

540
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 2: off every reason why the per s Corches can win.

541
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: But I think the lessons that they learned in the

542
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: loss over in Perth a couple of days ago will

543
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 2: will hold them in really good stead. Their bowling attack

544
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: is outstanding as well, So yeah, I think the Sydney

545
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: Sixers can get it done.

546
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: Just looking away from from the final and having a

547
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: look at the overall tournament, what about a breakout player

548
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: who was one that's really sort of captured your imagination.

549
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: I know you talked about Olie peak As that he

550
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: was the one that you spoke about at the start

551
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: of the tournament that you thought would come through, and

552
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: he clearly did. But over the course of the tournament,

553
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: who stood out to you?

554
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: Obviously Joel David He's had a brilliant year. Maley Beardman.

555
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: But to me, and it's a player that's been around

556
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 2: the big batch for quarter no but it probably hasn't

557
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: nailed down either skill.

558
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 3: But it's Jack Edwards to me.

559
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: His strides that he's made with bad and ball to

560
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: get teams over the line with Bad in hand.

561
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: That says a lot about a player.

562
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: But then the composure that he's had right throughout the

563
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: tournament with the ball in hand as well in some

564
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: really big roles. He's someone who's growing each and every year.

565
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: He's leading New South Wales now, so it's not a

566
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: young player because he has been around for a while.

567
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 2: But I still think this is a defining year in

568
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: his career. In your favorite moment has to be Oli

569
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 2: Peak sticks off the last ball at Perth Stadium.

570
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: Perth is a place that is notoriously hard to go and.

571
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: Win, no matter who you are, no matter what team

572
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: you've got, it is incredibly difficult to beat Perth over there.

573
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: But for him to just walk out and say, you

574
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 2: know what, this is my last game for the Renegades

575
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: this year before I go and lead this train under

576
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: nine ens. I'm just going to plant on over fine

577
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: leg off Aaron Hardy to win the game.

578
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 3: Didji.

579
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us. Really appreciated your

580
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: involvement throughout the surge this year. Safe travels across to

581
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: Perth and we'll see what happens.

582
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 3: Thanks mate, have a good gun.

583
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Finch joining us on the surge. So from Finchy

584
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: as someone will be watching from the commentary box. Next

585
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by one of the young

586
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: stars of the competition. He'll be there tomorrow night as well.

587
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: His name is Joel Davies and he plays for the Sixers.

588
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh she wish he's picked that up at absolutely sweetly.

589
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: Davies goes four and six to keep the momentum going.

590
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: Really excited about this. He has been one of the

591
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: stunning players of the competition, as Aaron Finch was saying before,

592
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: one of the real breakout players of BBL fifteen. It

593
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: is Joel Davies and he joins us ahead of the final. Well, OK,

594
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: so I've got to call you it all rounder Joel

595
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: for the Sixers. What a season you've had?

596
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks for having me lady. Yeah, I don't know.

597
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 5: It's just I guess a bit.

598
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: More opportunity this season, and luckily enough I've taken it

599
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 4: with both hands. And yeah, surprised to be I guess

600
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 4: considered all round and now it was definitely just a

601
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: bad growing up who bothered some left arm steam ups.

602
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's changing now and yeah, happy to be

603
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 4: where I am.

604
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: Are you pinching yourself a bit as to what the

605
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: last six weeks it's kind of changed your life in

606
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: a lot of ways.

607
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.

608
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the last few seasons I would be

609
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 4: in and out of the team, probably playing two or

610
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 4: three games a season. And now to be I guess

611
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: a solidified spot in that Sixers lineup is I guess

612
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 4: pretty surreal in itself with the I guess the strength

613
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: of that side, and yeah, to now be in another

614
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 4: final is yeah, it's just insane.

615
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: Was there a moment, Joel or a game where you

616
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: felt not that you'd crack the code, but that you

617
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: felt like you belonged or you felt like, yes, I

618
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: can do this, I can actually have a meaningful role

619
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: in the Sixers team.

620
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the I think it was a Sydney

621
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: smash at Enjie Stadium. I took three for twenty four

622
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 4: that game. They were I guess, back end of the

623
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: innings wickets. But for myself just I think previously my

624
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: best figures were one for oh, I don't know, probably

625
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: thirty or something when I off two overs getting smacked around.

626
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: But to yeah, I guess, keep the economy rate down,

627
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 4: take a few wickets, and then I guess that ensued

628
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: a bit more confidence in Moses to trust me and Yeah,

629
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 4: to then back that up a few games later and

630
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 4: I guess continue some good form has been Yeah, really

631
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 4: nice for I guess the team and myself.

632
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: And did that then help your batting knowing that there

633
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: wasn't as much pressure I guess whenever you went out

634
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: to bat to make runs, to clean the fans, to

635
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: find a way of getting thirty off twelve balls, when

636
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: you knew that you'd already contributed with the bowl, does

637
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: that sort of free the mind a little bit?

638
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.

639
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 4: I think previous years I'd sort of a bat and

640
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: would maybe bowling over here and there, so and batting

641
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 4: at seven or eight is hard to I guess, make

642
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: a massive impact. But knowing that regardless if I failed

643
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: with the bat, I could make up with it with

644
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: the ball or vice versa. And then another thing that

645
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 4: I guess Jordan Silk has helped me out with is

646
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: he would not all the time, but sometimes he'd failed

647
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: with the bat and he would be his motto, I

648
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: guess was I can still win the game for the

649
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: team in the field, So yeah, as much as I

650
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 4: can help out, yeah, wherever I can is I just

651
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: want to have an impact for the team.

652
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: What's great satisfaction clearing the fans, getting a wicket, or

653
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: taking some of those spectacular outfield catches that you've taken

654
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: throughout the tournament, including that in that final in Sydney.

655
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the cash last night was pretty satisfying. But I

656
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 4: think when you get one right out of the middle

657
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 4: and get it into i don't know, the second tier

658
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 4: or something like that, it's pretty pretty satisfying now that

659
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: you get it good.

660
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: I just I was thinking about you the other day.

661
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you've made your shiffield to your debut this season.

662
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: I was watching you back in April playing in the

663
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: in the T ten competition at the Junction over where

664
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: you look more like a golfer than a cricketer in

665
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: the uniforms that you're wearing and you're opening the batting,

666
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: And just how much has changed in such a short

667
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: period of time. Do you think you're a kind of

668
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: goes back to the question I had for you before.

669
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: Do you think you're a better cricketer or do you

670
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: think you're just getting opportunity and you found your kind

671
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: of sweet swat with it in terms of your role.

672
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a tough one because yeah, I guess I

673
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 4: didn't have that opportunity to be able to tell if

674
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: I was up to the standard of the Big Bash

675
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: in previous years. But I think I think I'm definitely

676
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 4: a better cricketer than I was in recent years, but

677
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: just had to get a bit more opportunity to display that.

678
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think this preseason I worked really hard

679
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 4: on my batting and bowling. I'd sort of been a

680
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: bit of a less is more sometimes, but this season

681
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 4: I was like, screw that, I'm going to actually do more.

682
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 4: And yeah, just working a lot more with Nick Larkin

683
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 4: with my batting and Anthony Clark with my bowling at

684
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: the Blues and lucky enough that I guess Red Form

685
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 4: and fifty over crickets translated into Big Bash, and yeah,

686
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 4: I'd definitely say from working harder on those things, I'm

687
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 4: a better cricketer.

688
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

689
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: So when you go back and play club cricket in Sydney,

690
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: will you be someone that bowls twenty overs of left

691
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: arm orthodox or is this very much just a white

692
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: ball thing? Really interesting you're buying because you know, I

693
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: think you and Cooper conrently approving how important left arm

694
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: orthodox he's in this form of the game where you

695
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: can still bad as well. But if you're playing red

696
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: ball cricket, what are you doing with your bowling?

697
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a bit of a niche skill.

698
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: Now there's not too many left arm authos around, but yeah,

699
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: I'll definitely be bowling as many over as I can,

700
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 4: as many of them called upon. We had a spinner

701
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: come over in previous years, Bernie Foreman, who was playing

702
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: for Sussex in the County Championship and he won Player

703
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 4: of the Tournament in his first year and the second

704
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 4: year took some ridiculous amount of wickets so I couldn't

705
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 4: get too many overs in. And then I think we

706
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 4: politely sort of said I need a bowl more overs,

707
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 4: and I think he wasn't going to be too happy

708
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 4: taking the back seat, So we yeah, parted ways there.

709
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 5: But I guess get in more.

710
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess regardless of how I perform, I'm gonna

711
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 4: sort of I want to bowl as much as I can. Yeah, obviously,

712
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: if I'm going at seven and over in red bull cricket,

713
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: I probably won't keep bowling, but yeah, I'll definitely take

714
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 4: every opportunity I can to bowl twenty possovers in as

715
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 4: many games as I can.

716
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: Last one year, before we talk about your team. You're

717
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: no longer Olies brother. You just Joel Davies now.

718
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 5: Will get called Olie a lot around.

719
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think there's a few people in the

720
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 4: crowd calling out, only can I get your signature, and

721
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I did J Davies, But yeah, I

722
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 4: thinking I consider signing the O Davies just to make

723
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 4: him think if they think I'm Olie, then I'll sign

724
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 4: it as Ollie Davies.

725
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 5: But now it's yeah, it's nice.

726
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 4: I guess to step out of I guess for some people,

727
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 4: I've had all his shadow for a little bit, but yeah,

728
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 4: it's it's nice to, I guess make a name for myself.

729
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: And I guess growing up it was always yeah, it

730
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 4: was always Oli's brother. I was he'd set a really

731
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 4: high platform for me, and but anything I did, I

732
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 4: guess I wasn't really doing anything better. It was just

733
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 4: doing what Olie had done. But yeah, it's he's yeah,

734
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 4: he's super happy for me for what I'm doing as well,

735
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's nice to season rewards.

736
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: I think it is as well. And the best thing too,

737
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: is that you are very different players, so you don't

738
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: need to be in each other's shadows. You can actually

739
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: both just be cricketers because you both do it so differently.

740
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: So I think that's a that's a really cool thing

741
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: for you, in your in your family as well.

742
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

743
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think I'm just one of the biggest goals

744
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 4: is to get him out. That's what I want to do,

745
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: so he won't get me out. I don't think he's

746
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 4: going to be Boling anytime soon, but yeah, fingers crossed

747
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 4: in coming seasons, I can. I can find a way

748
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 4: to get him out, but he's such a good player

749
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 4: spin I'm not sure that Moses would bother putting me

750
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 4: on anytime soon.

751
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: Boling, that's awesome. That's awesome. Talk him out, awesome. What's

752
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: it like to play with Steve smith It's I mean,

753
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: it's he's kind of turbo charged the back end of

754
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: your season. I guess Mitch Stark certainly helps as well,

755
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: but just to have someone of his caliber playing with you.

756
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I would say, it's pretty surreal. I grew

757
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 4: up watching these pretty much the whole team on TV,

758
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 4: but mainly Smithy and all the test matches and everything

759
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 4: that he played, and to now, I guess call him

760
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 4: the teammate and hopefully get it bad off him at

761
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 4: some point that would be nice as well, but with

762
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: new balance as well. But now it's yeah, it's just

763
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 4: it's a pinch myself moment. I see him two seats

764
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 4: away from me in the change rooms and gloves and bats

765
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 4: scattered everywhere, and I, yeah, I just think like this,

766
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 4: this is what I grew up like seeing and just

767
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 4: all the all the antics with the gloves changing gloves

768
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 4: all the time. It's just and it's like, now it's

769
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 4: actually right in front of me happening. I'm not just

770
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 4: seeing it on TV. It's pretty cool.

771
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: Do you get a chance to talk cricket with him?

772
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: Do you get a chance to ask as many questions

773
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: as you can to try and improve your own game?

774
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do a little bit.

775
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 4: I don't want to, I guess, overwhelm him with questions,

776
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 4: which I think he's the sort of person that would

777
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 4: absolutely love that. So yeah, it's a tough one. I

778
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 4: don't want to sort of just throwing myself on him

779
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 4: asking all these questions. But I'll definitely while we're in Perth,

780
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 4: take the opportunity to, I guess, ask a few more

781
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: questions about how he goes about the game in Perth

782
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 4: because it is such different conditions and see if I can, yeah,

783
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 4: pick his mind to just he's the best player pretty

784
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 4: much in the world, so it'd be silly to not

785
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: ask a few questions where I can.

786
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, But I mean when you've got Mitchell Stark as well,

787
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: and you know, no one needs to talk about how

788
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: how good he is, we all know that. But then

789
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: you've got Sean Abbott, you've got Moses Riguez. I mean,

790
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: Dan Hughes has been around New South Wales cricket for

791
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: such a long period of time. You reference Jordan Silk

792
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: before I'm leaving players out, but that experience, that blend

793
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: of a young a young player coming through like yourself,

794
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: but then the experience, it's a it's a pretty cool setup.

795
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.

796
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 4: I think when I first came in, Jordan Silk sort

797
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 4: of took me under his wing in terms of fielding.

798
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 4: So he said, like, you're not leaving you should be

799
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 4: leaving the field until I'm leaving the field where we're

800
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 4: practicing together and we're going to be the best fielders

801
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 4: in the comp So yeah, that was that was really nice.

802
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 4: And then I guess, yeah, I've been around the Blues.

803
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: I'd been around the boys a little bit before the

804
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: season had started for my first year with the Sixers.

805
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's just so much experience in the group,

806
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 4: and hopefully we can lean on that for the final.

807
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 4: I think all of them have been there pretty much

808
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 4: since BBL one or BBL two, So yeah, I think, yeah,

809
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: we'll lean into their experience and Inger's cross we can

810
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 4: get the job done. That would be that would be unreal.

811
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: Moses talked about this is I think it was after

812
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: the Renegades game. I was talking to Finchy about this

813
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: earlier on in the in the surge, just about maybe

814
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: being a bit complacent, maybe just to just going through

815
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: the motions a little bit through the first so third

816
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: of the tournament. Can you remember any conversations that we

817
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: had to try and snap you into gear. I think

818
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: you had a bit of a part to playing that

819
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: with the way you battered that day against the Renegades

820
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: down at Marvel Stadium to start the turnaround. But what

821
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: was kind of spoken about behind the scenes.

822
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, not a lot, to be honest.

823
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 4: I think we definitely did sit down at the Renegades

824
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 4: game beforehand. I think we were one and three at

825
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: the time, and it was sort of do or die there.

826
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: We couldn't lose too many more games, and Moses just

827
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 4: sort of sat us down and just said, like, I

828
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 4: know where backs against the wall, but we don't want

829
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 4: to change the way we play. I think we the

830
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 4: first game we lost was an eleven over game, the

831
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: Striker's game was we lost in the last over. And

832
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: I think the Stars game, yeah, they thumped us when

833
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 4: Sammy Harford battered out of his skin scored one hundred.

834
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 4: There wasn't much we could do there. But I think

835
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: just playing our brand of cricket, not changing because we

836
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 4: were one and three, just continuing the way we wanted

837
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: to play our game. And yeah, I guess not changing

838
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 4: too much. And I think that paid dividends by the end,

839
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: because we know we are such a good side and

840
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 4: to see I guess I've seen the final now after

841
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 4: being one and three, shows that, yeah, our cricket's good enough.

842
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: And what did you learn from that first final against

843
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: the Scorches. It's it's sort of, you know, obviously going

844
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: to get another crack at them in the same venue

845
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: less than around a week later, But what did you

846
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: learn to make sure that it's not the same result

847
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: next time.

848
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 4: Well, I think to side with I think our bowl,

849
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 4: our fast bowlers did a great job to limit them

850
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 4: to only one hundred and forty eight, and I think

851
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 4: our sort of I'm not sure how the batters went

852
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 4: out approaching it, but it just seemed like we were

853
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 4: chasing one hundred and ninety two hundred as opposed to

854
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty eight that we needed. I think

855
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 4: if we had wickets in hand at the back end

856
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 4: that we would have we would have cruised in there.

857
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: Or yeah, maybe not cruised in with their they got

858
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 4: such a good bowl in the lineup, but think, yeah,

859
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 4: by the time I was in with Dwarshes, we sort

860
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 4: of felt like we had to take the surge otherwise

861
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 4: we were going to be bowled out before it. It

862
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 4: happened pretty much, so we took that and as it

863
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 4: tends to do sometimes it Yeah, got a couple of wickets,

864
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 4: but I think just yeah, looking the back end the

865
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 4: game a little bit more rather than as soon as

866
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 4: we're three or four for not many in the power

867
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 4: play or early doors, it's really tough to win the

868
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 4: game from there.

869
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: And what about the pitch, because there's there's been a

870
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: bit of talk about the Perth pitch being a bit

871
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: different than than it has been in the past, and

872
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, there's been a number of teams that just

873
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: haven't been able to get themselves going. Have you been

874
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: able to work out what's going on?

875
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 5: It's a tricky one. I think it's a bit of both.

876
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 4: With the pitch and there one hundred and forty k's

877
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 4: an hour, that's always a bit of a challenge in itself.

878
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 4: But I think, yeah, just with the steep bounce, I

879
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 4: think maybe a few of us were looking to hit

880
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 4: in front of the wick at a bit too much

881
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 4: when it's a Obviously that's probably the hardest shot to

882
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 4: play against one hundred and forty k's with steep bounce.

883
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 4: So I guess using the pace a little bit more

884
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 4: and just using that to our advantage as opposed to

885
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, it's almost a different game on that

886
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 4: sort of wicket. You're not You're not like their cg

887
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 4: last night. It's not slow or even lower anything. It's

888
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 4: it's bouncy and fast. So I think this, Yeah, using

889
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 4: their speed and the bounce of the wickets to advantages.

890
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 5: I guess what we will have to do.

891
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: I think, now, I don't want you to give away secrets,

892
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: but there might be a chance that you bowl one

893
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: of the surgeovers at the start against a Mitch Smash

894
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: or against a Finnellen. That might be the case. What

895
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: what How daunting is that prospect considering the short straight boundaries,

896
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: the power that both of them have got. You've had

897
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: a good tournament that this might really test you.

898
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the first I've heard of this, but ingers crossed.

899
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a it's a tough and i'd it would

900
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 4: be pretty cool to be bowling the first over of

901
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 4: a final. But yeah, the there's some pretty scary batters,

902
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 4: I think. Yeah, the other day coming into finn Allen

903
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 4: was pretty daunting. I knew if I missed in the

904
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 4: slightest that it was going to go thirty rows back,

905
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 4: and I did and it went a long way back,

906
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 4: so I'll yeah, So.

907
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a tricky one.

908
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 4: I think I think we'd be better off leaving it

909
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 4: to the stake or someone like that tow one hundred

910
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 4: and forty k's.

911
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 5: At the stumps.

912
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 4: But if I got the opportunity, yeah, it would be

913
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 4: a it'd be a different experience. I guess I've never

914
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 4: bold in the power Player or anything like that, but yeah,

915
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 4: if called upon, I'm sure I'd have some sort of

916
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 4: plan to hopefully only get hit from maybe one boundary

917
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 4: in the over.

918
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 5: Now.

919
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: I know you've played a little bit of cricketing Lime

920
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: Green with the Thunder, but just just finally that the

921
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: idea of playing winning a Big Bash. We talked to

922
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: Mitchell and about this about you know, he grew up

923
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: going to about Hurricanes games at Beller Revolve in the

924
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: in the purple shirt and sort of lived out a

925
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: dream to actually win a title with the Hurricanes. You're

926
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: in that sort of similar age gap. You've grown up,

927
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: you've known nothing other than the Big Bash. To actually

928
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: be someone that can lift that title in the magentia

929
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: of the Sixers, what would that mean to you?

930
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be massive. Obviously, my first year with

931
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 4: the Sixers we made the final and lost that and

932
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 4: I guess just seeing the watching the heat celebrate on

933
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 4: the field, I could barely watch it. It was it

934
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 4: was rometer pieces, So I don't want to have that

935
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 4: feeling again. Basically, it would be Yeah. To come so

936
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 4: close and to lose again would be yeah. It would

937
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 4: break me. So I think everyone's pretty pretty much the same.

938
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,719

946
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,880
