Speaker 1: The Unplayable Podcast is proudly presented by quantas the official
Speaker 1: podcast partner and the official airline partner of Cricket Australia.
Speaker 1: Once again, this season, Quantus is pradsbby flying Australia's cricketers
Speaker 1: as they take on the world. WELLI welcome to The
Speaker 1: Unplayable Podcast. Josh on It Binker here to bring you
Speaker 1: this week's episode and ahead of the Under nineteen World
Speaker 1: Cup Semifinals, we've got Charlie Latchman Johnny Us as a
Speaker 1: special guest. He's been killing it with the ball from
Speaker 1: his four matches, he's already got twelve wickets in the
Speaker 1: tournament and he's going to be one of the keys
Speaker 1: as Australia take on England in their semi final, which
Speaker 1: is on Tuesday, February third. Those matches can be watched
Speaker 1: on Prime Video live and exclusively in Australia. Let's run
Speaker 1: you through their tournament so far, just in case you
Speaker 1: haven't been keeping across the Aussies. But there's been lots
Speaker 1: to be excited about. They started with an eight wicket
Speaker 1: victory over Ireland. The Irish battered first got two hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty five, but the Assy's chased it down pretty comfortably.
Speaker 1: Steven Hogan, who's been one of the stars with the bat,
Speaker 1: got one hundred and fifteen and the Test Samuel seventy
Speaker 1: seven not out. He's been a bit of a quiet achiever.
Speaker 1: He's been opening the batting, but he's been not out
Speaker 1: in three of his five innings so far, so very
Speaker 1: impressive stuff. That then played Japan, who impressively got two
Speaker 1: hundred against them. They got to bat first, but then Australia.
Speaker 1: You may have seen this one in the headlines. Will
Speaker 1: Malichek came out and scored one hundred and two or
Speaker 1: fifty five balls, the fastest century in under nineteen cricket.
Speaker 1: Very impressive stuff from him, and of course the Test
Speaker 1: Samuel at the other end was there with sixty not out,
Speaker 1: so another eight wicket victory for Australia. That then got
Speaker 1: to play Sri Lanka, who by no means a week
Speaker 1: side and you'll hear Charlie talk about his memories of
Speaker 1: this one. He took two wickets in this one. His
Speaker 1: new ball bowling partner Will Byram took five to fourteen,
Speaker 1: so seven wickets between them, and they rolled the Shrilankans
Speaker 1: for fifty eight, setting up a very comfortable nine wicket victory.
Speaker 1: South Africa were the next team to to face the
Speaker 1: Aussies and it was Australia again who their bowling display
Speaker 1: was just outstanding. Latchman three for twenty nine Australia after
Speaker 1: bowling out South Africa for only one hundred and eighteen,
Speaker 1: they then got to their total with four wickets down
Speaker 1: and six in hand, so six wicket victory got them there,
Speaker 1: Steven Hogan again doing the business with the bats forty
Speaker 1: three not out from him. And then finally in their
Speaker 1: last match of the Super Sixers, which has propelled them
Speaker 1: into the semifinals, they had to take on the West
Speaker 1: Indies and for the first time this tournament, Australia got
Speaker 1: to bat first. They did it pretty well too, on
Speaker 1: a tricky wicket that sort of suited the spinners. They
Speaker 1: got seven for three hundred and fourteen. Only Peak was
Speaker 1: the star with one hundred and nine really anchored that
Speaker 1: innings got them up passed three hundred, and it proved
Speaker 1: to be pretty important too, because after eleven overs the
Speaker 1: West Indies were none for eighty eight. They were zooming
Speaker 1: along in their chase, but some really good Captaincy and
Speaker 1: some good bowling from the slower bowlers for Australia brought
Speaker 1: them back. They finished twenty two runs short in the end,
Speaker 1: and it was Latchman, that man again who took the
Speaker 1: most wickets. After copying a bit of heat right at
Speaker 1: the start of the innings, he came back well and
Speaker 1: finished with four for sixty six. So now Australia take
Speaker 1: on England in that first semi final. As I said,
Speaker 1: it's India and Afghanistan in the other one. It's going
Speaker 1: to be great fun to watch. It's in Bulawayo tonight
Speaker 1: in Zimbabwe. Nice evening time slot for the Aussies as well,
Speaker 1: so you can tune in certainly to that first innings
Speaker 1: and if things are going well, he may as well
Speaker 1: stay tuned in for the second innings. So I was
Speaker 1: touched on off the top that chat with Charlie Latchman,
Speaker 1: Australian fast bowler. It's come out very shortly. We'll get
Speaker 1: to him in just a second, but let's get across
Speaker 1: what's been happening with the Aussie men's team. They've just
Speaker 1: completed a three match series in Pakistan t twenty matches
Speaker 1: ahead of that T twenty World Cup, and it didn't
Speaker 1: go so well as you may have seen. Three nil
Speaker 1: Pakistan that one. They won the toss and batted first
Speaker 1: the hosts in all three matches, and all three matches
Speaker 1: were in Lahore as well, by the way, so no
Speaker 1: moving around, just straight into it, bang bang bang, and
Speaker 1: they won pretty comfortably twenty two runs in the first match,
Speaker 1: ninety runs in the second, and one hundred and eleven
Speaker 1: runs in the third, which was the biggest defeat that
Speaker 1: Australia have ever suffered in T twenty internationals. The previous
Speaker 1: worst all the previous year biggest loss was one hundred
Speaker 1: runs to England way back in two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: right before that famous Ashes series took place. Pakistan actually
Speaker 1: outscored Australia by a combined two hundred and seventeen runs
Speaker 1: for the series. You have to go back to a
Speaker 1: series between Belgium and Malta, yes, those two famous rivals,
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty two to find a series with
Speaker 1: a greater discrepancy between the runs. On that occasion, Belgium
Speaker 1: were better than the Maltese by two hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: eight runs, so some ways ahead of this one, but
Speaker 1: Pakistan were obvious see the bit of team Australia didn't
Speaker 1: manage any fifty run stands for the whole series. The
Speaker 1: highest score individually was Cameron Green's thirty six and as
Speaker 1: pointed out by Loui Cameron on cricket dot com dot
Speaker 1: Au today, Gazi's lost twenty two wickets to spin in
Speaker 1: the three matches, which is their most ever in a
Speaker 1: three match series or any tournament of any length twenty
Speaker 1: two wickets. Abra Ahmed, the leg spinner, took six, Mohamed
Speaker 1: Noah's took seven and Usman Tarik took two. Including having
Speaker 1: a little back and forth with Australia around a Cameron Green,
Speaker 1: I'll be very interested to hear Kane Richardson's thoughts on
Speaker 1: that little back and forth when he returns to the
Speaker 1: pod very shortly. There have been a couple of changes
Speaker 1: to Australia's TEA twenty World Cup provisional squad as well,
Speaker 1: now that the ICC needed those squads locked in. At
Speaker 1: the start of this month, Pat Cummins is out he
Speaker 1: couldn't get over that lumbard backstress issue that's been plaguing
Speaker 1: him for the best part of six months now. And
Speaker 1: he's been replaced by Dousis to the left arms, so
Speaker 1: that at least gives Australia in a left arm pace
Speaker 1: option given that Mitchell Stark is now retired from the format.
Speaker 1: The other surprise was that matt Short he was dropped
Speaker 1: from this squad. He's fully fit and he's playing in
Speaker 1: that Pakistan series, but he has been replaced Matthew Renshaw
Speaker 1: has been preferred to him. The explanation given was that
Speaker 1: Renshall is very strong against spin. They're expecting to come
Speaker 1: up against a lot of that, especially in those Sri
Speaker 1: Lankan hosted matches. And yeah, he's obviously just recently debuted
Speaker 1: in the format as well. He made that first appearance
Speaker 1: for Australian ten twenties just in that most recent series
Speaker 1: against Pakistan. So congratulations to Renshaw and to Dorcius who
Speaker 1: come into that squad. Sean Abbott is another one who's
Speaker 1: coming in not into the official squad but as a
Speaker 1: traveling reserve because there are a couple of injury clouds
Speaker 1: amongst that squad of fifteen that Australia have chosen still
Speaker 1: ahead of this tournament. Josh Hazewood isn't in the Subcontinent
Speaker 1: just yet. He's still recovering from his achilles injury in Sydney,
Speaker 1: so he'll join at the later date. And there are
Speaker 1: injury clouds of Adam Zampa, who didn't bat because of
Speaker 1: a groin issue in the third T twenty against Pakistan,
Speaker 1: and hamstring issues to Nathan Allis and Tim David. But
Speaker 1: the hobout Hurricanes pair both couldn't finish the most recent
Speaker 1: Big Bash because of those injuries, but they've both traveled
Speaker 1: over and are both hopeful of playing a big part
Speaker 1: for Australia in this tournament. The selectors may be thinking
Speaker 1: that they've got a bit of time to allow these
Speaker 1: injuries to heal and to get their team right because
Speaker 1: the early round of this tournament Australia have some matches
Speaker 1: against some very lowly ranked opponents. Ireland is their first
Speaker 1: opponent they ranked eleventh in the world. Then they play
Speaker 1: Zimbabwe who are ranked twelfth. They've got a match against
Speaker 1: Sri Lanka there, who are always strong at home of course,
Speaker 1: and then the other team in their group is O'man
Speaker 1: and they ranked twentieth in the world. So Australia we
Speaker 1: need to finish in the top two of those five
Speaker 1: to get through to the Super sixers, where if they
Speaker 1: do progress, we already know that they'll play the likes
Speaker 1: of India, South Africa and the West Indies and so
Speaker 1: because of those matches at the start, I think Australia
Speaker 1: will be thinking that if they can just get those wins,
Speaker 1: then they can bring in the big guns and those
Speaker 1: first choice players when the whips really will be cracking. Finally,
Speaker 1: let's have a look at the domestic stuff and if
Speaker 1: you're listening to this podcast when it comes out on
Speaker 1: Tuesday third while, there's lots of domestic crickets going to
Speaker 1: be across your screens on cricket dot Com, dot Au
Speaker 1: and the CAAA Live app. Two matches in the WNCL
Speaker 1: last year's final, we've got a rematch of New South
Speaker 1: Wales versus Queensland and South Australia who have been very
Speaker 1: impressive recently. They take over Victoria and then in the
Speaker 1: One Day Cup of the men's edition, Victoria are playing
Speaker 1: at the MCG they are hosting Queensland. That those two
Speaker 1: always put on a good show, so it'll be a
Speaker 1: good one to watch as well. All Right, it is
Speaker 1: time jump into our chat with Charlie Latchman all the
Speaker 1: way over from Zimbabwe at the Under nineteen World Cup.
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's going to be fit and far to bring
Speaker 1: home some more silverware for Australia. All the way from Zimbabwe.
Speaker 1: We're joined now by Charlie Latchmond, who has been starring
Speaker 1: with the ball at the Under nineteen World Cup. Charlie,
Speaker 1: welcome mate. Have you been enjoying the tournament so far?
Speaker 2: So good?
Speaker 3: I haven't really, I said, I haven't really been a
Speaker 3: part of anything like this before, and yet it's good
Speaker 3: to sort of, you know, get that insight into how
Speaker 3: big the stakes are and how serious people treat it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's just awesome to play against some of
Speaker 3: the best players in the world for our age group,
Speaker 3: which is unreal.
Speaker 1: You've been part of the under nineteens for a little while.
Speaker 1: But is this your first trip overseas playing cricket or
Speaker 1: have you done a bit of travel already.
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, it's my first cricket trip overseas.
Speaker 3: I hadn't been overseas since I was like seven years
Speaker 3: older to the US, so it's quite foreign to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I came over here. I was a bit rattled
Speaker 2: about what was going on.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's good to sort of be back in
Speaker 3: that sense because there's so different over here the way
Speaker 3: things work, you know, food and everything. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 3: Good to sort of adapt and be able to maintain
Speaker 3: performance what's being over here with different environments.
Speaker 1: Well, even the power sockets are different, aren't they. Like
Speaker 1: you can't just plug in your Aussie charge all right,
Speaker 1: you've got to get the African ones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was panic stations at the airport.
Speaker 3: Everyone was trying to trying to go to the store
Speaker 3: to get it.
Speaker 2: Thank you God for a helpful lady. But yeah, it
Speaker 2: was good, very different, very different here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're in a great part of the world.
Speaker 1: Obviously he's in Barbe. And then maybe you have some
Speaker 1: amazing sights to see. Have you been able to get
Speaker 1: out much and do a safari or something like that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, do the safari in Namibia. It was a sunset safari. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was that was interesting. You've never done anything like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was good to see the animals.
Speaker 3: I mean, some of the lines weren't too keen to
Speaker 3: poke their face out, which is the one I wanted
Speaker 3: to see.
Speaker 2: But you know, you got to see elephants, zebras, you know,
Speaker 2: all the cool stuffs. Yeah, it was. It was good because.
Speaker 3: You know, you're quite confined in the hotel and the
Speaker 3: cricket environment and it was good to sort of get
Speaker 3: out and do something else other than cricket and watching TV.
Speaker 1: That's great and I imagine don't get too any elephants
Speaker 1: into Woomba, so oh nice little When did you learn
Speaker 1: that you'd made the under nineteen squad? Do you remember
Speaker 1: getting a call or was there a text message sent out?
Speaker 1: Talk us through that moment and what you sort of
Speaker 1: were feeling at the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of at the end of the
Speaker 3: nineteens National Championships in Perth, which is a great time.
Speaker 2: Loved it. Some of the best tournaments you'll ever go to.
Speaker 3: And with the airport going back to Brizzy and yeah,
Speaker 3: our Queensland coach Greg Moller came up and shook my
Speaker 3: hand and said congratulations mate, you've made it, and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh.
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.
Speaker 3: I was pretty stoked and it was good to see
Speaker 3: the other Queensland boys that I was on the plane
Speaker 3: with share that experience, you know, Stevie Hogan, Jade and
Speaker 3: Draper and Ben Gordon. It was pretty special to see
Speaker 3: so many Queenslanders in the squad and be able to
Speaker 3: you know, celebrate a good week in Perth and then
Speaker 3: to top it off the Aussie side and yeah, no
Speaker 3: it was good. And then obviously Tim Nielsen sent the
Speaker 3: message to say I was in.
Speaker 2: So it was yeah. I was very stoked. Mom and
Speaker 2: dad very happy. Yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. Any family coming over for the tournament at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mum and dad came and my sister Lawla came over.
Speaker 3: Fantastic Namibia which was awesome. They originally weren't going, but
Speaker 3: they yeah, they got quite greedy and couldn't miss out
Speaker 3: on the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they So they've loved it.
Speaker 3: They're just they're not seen the Zimbabwe in games.
Speaker 2: Just you know, it's a bit pretty tough to sort
Speaker 2: of organize that stuff short term.
Speaker 3: I know some of the parents have and they've obviously
Speaker 3: got back to work, but yeah, they've they've loved it.
Speaker 3: They've loved the the difference. So, yes, I was talking
Speaker 3: about something different. They've been in Australia for a while now,
Speaker 3: they've been overseas for.
Speaker 2: A bit, so it was good for them.
Speaker 3: To obviously watch some unbelievable cricket and also just see
Speaker 3: the sites, which is nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And to see their son and brother
Speaker 1: get a few wickets is a good thing as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: It looks like a pretty tight, you know, close knit
Speaker 1: team from what we see on TV. And you mentioned
Speaker 1: those Queenslanders that are in the squad with you. Who
Speaker 1: are you closest to it and who are your best
Speaker 1: mates or have you made some mates from other states
Speaker 1: that might have surprised you at the start of the tournament.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think i'd send in an earlier interview there.
Speaker 3: It's a bit of a special group that everyone kind
Speaker 3: of gets around each other, you know that you never
Speaker 3: see a team room not packed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's good. You know, I knew some of
Speaker 2: the boys from the Indian series. It's good.
Speaker 3: Became really close mates with them. Obviously my Queen's they
Speaker 3: mates are you know, some of my some of my
Speaker 3: best mates. But yeah, I've met some new blokes across
Speaker 3: the States that you know, you know, proved to be
Speaker 3: really valuable blokes and you know, I'm definitely keeping contact
Speaker 3: with them going forward.
Speaker 1: That's great. Before we get into the actual cricket itself.
Speaker 1: When you're not playing cricket, Charlie, what do you do
Speaker 1: to pass the time? Do you have hobbies or your fishermen?
Speaker 1: And do you play other sports? Do you what do
Speaker 1: you get up to.
Speaker 2: Or do.
Speaker 3: I guess because I've just finished school so it was
Speaker 3: quite not a whole lot going on outside of cricket,
Speaker 3: and that.
Speaker 2: I do love my phone, I love a doom.
Speaker 3: Scroll, but yeah, it's not really I probably need to
Speaker 3: adapt to a hobby and yeah, I guess I'll start
Speaker 3: UNI soon, so I guess that'll take up a lot
Speaker 3: of the time as well, so I'll find something.
Speaker 1: Now, do you have a course locked? Isn't you going
Speaker 1: to study?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm studying law at QT, starting at the end
Speaker 3: of at the end of next month, which will be
Speaker 3: nice bit of change of.
Speaker 2: Scenery outside of the boring, boring Monton just life of school. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sure will provide some entertainment.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be some boring moments too, so it's
Speaker 1: not all going to be sunshina rainbows. So yeah, you're
Speaker 1: over there in Zimbabwe now. Now I have heard you
Speaker 1: say that there were a few differences between playing in
Speaker 1: the midbra and playing in Zimbabwe. Can you just explain
Speaker 1: sort of that because from an Australian point of view,
Speaker 1: I would have assumed all of Southern Africa would be
Speaker 1: pretty similar, but that hasn't been your experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the Midea was very similar to the Dexter
Speaker 3: playing Australia.
Speaker 2: Quite yeah, as I said, bouncy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes it was a bit different because we played
Speaker 3: on different wickets, but there were certain like similar characteristics
Speaker 3: that obviously the bounce, some of tennis Bawley and then yeah,
Speaker 3: just pretty flat. It was kind of it was really
Speaker 3: good cricket wickets, you know, for good games. It proved
Speaker 3: the bowling first in the morning, which is quite nice.
Speaker 3: You know, it had a bit of stuff early and
Speaker 3: it became quite flat in the afternoon, which I think
Speaker 3: that's very similar in the games that I played in Australia.
Speaker 3: However Zimbabwe is a bit different. Yesterday, the wicket we
Speaker 3: played on it was lovely stadium, but very very crumbly wicket,
Speaker 3: very flat, dry, Yeah, it was. It was very different.
Speaker 3: I hadn't really played on anything like it. The footing
Speaker 3: was a bit tough for me, but yeah, it was
Speaker 3: spinner friendly as you saw on the scorecard. The spinners
Speaker 3: blowed the house down. They proved very useful, you know,
Speaker 3: Naden Core and oron Sharma they you know, they set
Speaker 3: the game up really, I mean Nayden got the big
Speaker 3: wicket of old made it was whacking them.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was. It was very different. Pretty low
Speaker 2: and slow, that's what i'd say. And crumbly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the West Indies gave you guys a bit of
Speaker 1: a run for your money, which is sort of the
Speaker 1: first close game you've had in the tournament. That must
Speaker 1: be good though, to show that you guys are able
Speaker 1: to get over the line in close games as well,
Speaker 1: coming to the point end of the season of the tournament.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: As we spoke about even out in the field so
Speaker 3: that it's going to be good, we needed to have
Speaker 3: a game like that that sort of challenged our bowling
Speaker 3: because you know, the other games mightn't have been you know,
Speaker 3: they're a little bit more in sided in our bowling innings.
Speaker 3: There are a couple of early scares against Ireland and
Speaker 3: et cetera. But yeah, it was good to sort of
Speaker 3: get a vibe of what it's going to be like
Speaker 3: in the semi final. And we've played India before, we
Speaker 3: understand that they go about a similar business in the
Speaker 3: power play, just trying to take on the game.
Speaker 2: Hit the ball hard, hit a lot of boundaries.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was it was actually awesome to sort
Speaker 3: of get in that different contest and you know, find
Speaker 3: ways to win, because I guess that's.
Speaker 2: What good teams do.
Speaker 3: They always find a way to win games, no matter
Speaker 3: how the circumstances say. It was a little bit messy
Speaker 3: at the start, but yeah, it's good to sort of
Speaker 3: clean it up and then get the job done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, sometimes you just got to win ugly
Speaker 1: as well, and that's fine. Speaking of that India series, mate,
Speaker 1: you dismissed that Indian gun Shrivanshi, didn't you was a
Speaker 1: nice delivery. And there's every chance at Australia will have
Speaker 1: to play India again in this tournament. I mean, what
Speaker 1: is it like coming up against someone like that who's
Speaker 1: already got a massive international reputation and yet he's still
Speaker 1: only playing under nineteens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty good. I didn't really.
Speaker 3: I hadn't played against him before, some of the boys
Speaker 3: had in an early India series. But yeah, it was
Speaker 3: quite because it was a little bit weird that, you know,
Speaker 3: you're staring down the barrel of a bloke who's you know,
Speaker 3: scored a scored one hundred god knows how many balls
Speaker 3: in the IPL against some of the best bowlers in
Speaker 3: the world. Yeah, and now you're bowling to him. It's
Speaker 3: a bit you know what's going to happen here. So
Speaker 3: it's kind of once you saw I guess I found
Speaker 3: Once I you know, you know, started bowling to him.
Speaker 2: You know you can kind of pick up, you know,
Speaker 2: ways to.
Speaker 3: You know, find ways to get him out and you know,
Speaker 3: even not not just get him out, but you know,
Speaker 3: restrict him, which is quite difficult as you've seen the scores.
Speaker 3: But it's it's a very different sort of thing playing
Speaker 3: against India because you know, they take on the game
Speaker 3: in different ways and play that you know, dictate the game.
Speaker 2: How they want to do it. And it's even more
Speaker 2: satisfying when you get to stop them from going about
Speaker 2: their business.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, we can just ignore those teammates getting past
Speaker 1: the back.
Speaker 2: About two of them tried to walk in before and
Speaker 2: one's placed his head in.
Speaker 1: Olipeak has called you the fastest bowler in the attack.
Speaker 1: What it has been the fastest you've been clocked out
Speaker 1: to your knowledge.
Speaker 2: I haven't been clocked on along and a bit. I
Speaker 2: was clocked in the Indian Series.
Speaker 3: I was around the mid one thirties, but over clocked
Speaker 3: two years ago, about eighteen months ago at Queensland Cricket
Speaker 3: that was one thirty seven, right, wow, So I don't
Speaker 3: know whether that's increased or not. Who knows, but yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's almost kind of when there's a speed gun
Speaker 3: at the ground, you kind of go against putting on
Speaker 3: the spot and you're like, I'm just trying to.
Speaker 2: Wrap it up here.
Speaker 3: So it's almost it's kind of it's kind of good
Speaker 3: that sometimes you're not getting gunned. But yeah, it's it'll
Speaker 3: be interesting to see what the current speeds I'm going at. Yeah,
Speaker 3: as I said, who knows if I've increased and might
Speaker 3: have gone backwards, but yeah, good.
Speaker 1: Surely for the semi finals and finals they can bring
Speaker 1: on the speed gun at this time. I would love
Speaker 1: to see that is the goal to be able to
Speaker 1: buy one fifty? Is that what a young fast baller
Speaker 1: wants to do? Or are you more worried about, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe emulating what Pat Cummins and Josh has would have
Speaker 1: done these days and just be consistent around the one forties.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not really, I'm just trying to get to
Speaker 3: one forty first. But yeah, one one fifty would be unbelievable.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess I kind of as you said
Speaker 3: the Pat Cummins and Josh Hayes with those blokes, that's
Speaker 3: what I kind of. You know, obviously I want to
Speaker 3: balls fast. I can see what I can get to,
Speaker 3: but obviously there's going to be a time where I'm
Speaker 3: going to, you know, max out, So I guess I'll
Speaker 3: just have to rely on craft and putting on spots
Speaker 3: similar to them.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're just trying trying.
Speaker 3: To get to one forty first and trying bowl fast
Speaker 3: I can at the moment.
Speaker 1: And are you somewhat of a fast blowing naffy, like
Speaker 1: do you just love every skill aspect of it and
Speaker 1: the technical side and if you're watching someone like Mitch
Speaker 1: Stark running in Bowl one forty five for the whole day,
Speaker 1: are you somebody who really enjoys that side of it
Speaker 1: as well? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love when I love when we were in
Speaker 2: the toss and bowl first. It's good when Stark's got
Speaker 2: a fresh, fresh.
Speaker 3: Ball in his hand. Yeah, it's I do do watch
Speaker 3: a lot of it. I love watching those Cricket Dot
Speaker 3: Com from the Bolt videos with like Dale Stain, Shames Patson,
Speaker 3: They're all, yeah, unbelievable to watch it. I can I
Speaker 3: watch them multiple times, all of them. Yeah, no, i'd say,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm not sure enough. Yeah, like I love it. No,
Speaker 3: I probably, I probably am. I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 3: I do love it.
Speaker 1: That's great. And now they have already been some amazing
Speaker 1: performances from your teammates at this tournament. Malacheck, peak byrum
Speaker 1: any that stand out to you where you thought, wow,
Speaker 1: you know that was next level sort of stuff from
Speaker 1: your teammates.
Speaker 2: They're all, you know, amazing.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen ball striking from anyone outside of Will
Speaker 3: Malichick ever really against man.
Speaker 2: That was unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Some of the sixers that he was hitting, that's obviously amazing.
Speaker 3: Peaks hundred yesterday in circumstances and the conditions was.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
Speaker 3: But I thought that Will Byron, that's the one that
Speaker 3: kind of comes to mind the most because I got
Speaker 3: to sort of share it with him, bowling up the
Speaker 3: top and of roll shal Lanka for such a low
Speaker 3: total fifty eight and they're not a bad side at all,
Speaker 3: very good side. And yeah, that's that's quite a special moment.
Speaker 3: And it was just good to sort of see him.
Speaker 3: You know, he's young, he's still in another year I
Speaker 3: was nine, as it was good to see him, you know,
Speaker 3: take on you know, I guess perform at his very best,
Speaker 3: at the top level in the world for his age group. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was good, good to share that with him, opening
Speaker 3: the bowling with him take a few piles.
Speaker 2: It was nice.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. And you've taken twelve yourself in the four games
Speaker 1: so far. What do you think has worked so well
Speaker 1: for you in this tournament? Have you been, like you
Speaker 1: said earlier, just putting it on the spot rather than
Speaker 1: trying to ramp it up to your max speed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely try and compose your self a bit, because
Speaker 3: you can kind of catch yourself trying to bowl too
Speaker 3: fast and then that kind of throws off your accuracy,
Speaker 3: et cetera. Yeah, I've kind of just tried to put
Speaker 3: it in the right areas, hit the stumps a lot.
Speaker 3: That's mainly been our plan. At the top of the stumps,
Speaker 3: it proves quite useful.
Speaker 2: I know it's it's quite a simple concept, but it's
Speaker 2: very very useful.
Speaker 3: It's hard to get it off the square really and
Speaker 3: if they try to and then it goes up the shoot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's It's.
Speaker 3: Worked a lot those simple plans. But yeah, just for me,
Speaker 3: it was a bowl at a decent pace. Swing it.
Speaker 3: Swing's been nice, particularly in Namibia. Yeah, it's swinging, swinging
Speaker 3: into the pads, stumps. Just bring all the dismissals into play.
Speaker 2: Has worked really well.
Speaker 1: Amazing. Well, good luck for the rest of the tournament. Mate,
Speaker 1: really appreciate your time and hopefully you can bring home
Speaker 1: and up the trophy for Australia.
Speaker 2: Thanks Joshua,
