WELLI welcome to The 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:19.919 Unplayable Podcast. Josh on It Binker here to bring you 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.320 this week's episode and ahead of the Under nineteen World 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.720 Cup Semifinals, we've got Charlie Latchman Johnny Us as a 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.400 special guest. He's been killing it with the ball from 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.960 his four matches, he's already got twelve wickets in the 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.680 tournament and he's going to be one of the keys 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.080 as Australia take on England in their semi final, which 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.760 is on Tuesday, February third. Those matches can be watched 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.599 on Prime Video live and exclusively in Australia. Let's run 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:44.800 you through their tournament so far, just in case you 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.480 haven't been keeping across the Aussies. But there's been lots 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.280 to be excited about. They started with an eight wicket 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.600 victory over Ireland. The Irish battered first got two hundred 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.760 and thirty five, but the Assy's chased it down pretty comfortably. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.040 Steven Hogan, who's been one of the stars with the bat, 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.480 got one hundred and fifteen and the Test Samuel seventy 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.360 seven not out. He's been a bit of a quiet achiever. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.160 He's been opening the batting, but he's been not out 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.200 in three of his five innings so far, so very 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.120 impressive stuff. That then played Japan, who impressively got two 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.240 hundred against them. They got to bat first, but then Australia. 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.360 You may have seen this one in the headlines. Will 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.240 Malichek came out and scored one hundred and two or 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.720 fifty five balls, the fastest century in under nineteen cricket. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.720 Very impressive stuff from him, and of course the Test 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.440 Samuel at the other end was there with sixty not out, 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.280 so another eight wicket victory for Australia. That then got 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.400 to play Sri Lanka, who by no means a week 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.840 side and you'll hear Charlie talk about his memories of 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.679 this one. He took two wickets in this one. His 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.880 new ball bowling partner Will Byram took five to fourteen, 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.240 so seven wickets between them, and they rolled the Shrilankans 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.280 for fifty eight, setting up a very comfortable nine wicket victory. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.560 South Africa were the next team to to face the 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.520 Aussies and it was Australia again who their bowling display 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:09.560 was just outstanding. Latchman three for twenty nine Australia after 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.320 bowling out South Africa for only one hundred and eighteen, 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.040 they then got to their total with four wickets down 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.239 and six in hand, so six wicket victory got them there, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.720 Steven Hogan again doing the business with the bats forty 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.400 three not out from him. And then finally in their 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.280 last match of the Super Sixers, which has propelled them 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.760 into the semifinals, they had to take on the West 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.800 Indies and for the first time this tournament, Australia got 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.960 to bat first. They did it pretty well too, on 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.359 a tricky wicket that sort of suited the spinners. They 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.800 got seven for three hundred and fourteen. Only Peak was 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.040 the star with one hundred and nine really anchored that 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.120 innings got them up passed three hundred, and it proved 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.440 to be pretty important too, because after eleven overs the 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.840 West Indies were none for eighty eight. They were zooming 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.640 along in their chase, but some really good Captaincy and 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.160 some good bowling from the slower bowlers for Australia brought 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.520 them back. They finished twenty two runs short in the end, 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.520 and it was Latchman, that man again who took the 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.360 most wickets. After copying a bit of heat right at 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.040 the start of the innings, he came back well and 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.639 finished with four for sixty six. So now Australia take 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.480 on England in that first semi final. As I said, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.760 it's India and Afghanistan in the other one. It's going 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.200 to be great fun to watch. It's in Bulawayo tonight 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.840 in Zimbabwe. Nice evening time slot for the Aussies as well, 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.359 so you can tune in certainly to that first innings 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.560 and if things are going well, he may as well 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.880 stay tuned in for the second innings. So I was 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.080 touched on off the top that chat with Charlie Latchman, 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.000 Australian fast bowler. It's come out very shortly. We'll get 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.600 to him in just a second, but let's get across 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.680 what's been happening with the Aussie men's team. They've just 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.600 completed a three match series in Pakistan t twenty matches 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.840 ahead of that T twenty World Cup, and it didn't 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.440 go so well as you may have seen. Three nil 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.040 Pakistan that one. They won the toss and batted first 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.640 the hosts in all three matches, and all three matches 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.920 were in Lahore as well, by the way, so no 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.120 moving around, just straight into it, bang bang bang, and 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.920 they won pretty comfortably twenty two runs in the first match, 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.279 ninety runs in the second, and one hundred and eleven 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.440 runs in the third, which was the biggest defeat that 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:25.560 Australia have ever suffered in T twenty internationals. The previous 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.679 worst all the previous year biggest loss was one hundred 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.960 runs to England way back in two thousand and five, 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.440 right before that famous Ashes series took place. Pakistan actually 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.320 outscored Australia by a combined two hundred and seventeen runs 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.479 for the series. You have to go back to a 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:46.000 series between Belgium and Malta, yes, those two famous rivals, 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.920 back in twenty twenty two to find a series with 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.800 a greater discrepancy between the runs. On that occasion, Belgium 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.760 were better than the Maltese by two hundred and eighty 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.960 eight runs, so some ways ahead of this one, but 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.160 Pakistan were obvious see the bit of team Australia didn't 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.800 manage any fifty run stands for the whole series. The 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:09.320 highest score individually was Cameron Green's thirty six and as 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.840 pointed out by Loui Cameron on cricket dot com dot 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.039 Au today, Gazi's lost twenty two wickets to spin in 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.200 the three matches, which is their most ever in a 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.040 three match series or any tournament of any length twenty 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.239 two wickets. Abra Ahmed, the leg spinner, took six, Mohamed 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:30.760 Noah's took seven and Usman Tarik took two. Including having 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.880 a little back and forth with Australia around a Cameron Green, 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.880 I'll be very interested to hear Kane Richardson's thoughts on 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.159 that little back and forth when he returns to the 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.919 pod very shortly. There have been a couple of changes 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.920 to Australia's TEA twenty World Cup provisional squad as well, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.360 now that the ICC needed those squads locked in. At 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.080 the start of this month, Pat Cummins is out he 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:56.400 couldn't get over that lumbard backstress issue that's been plaguing 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.600 him for the best part of six months now. And 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.560 he's been replaced by Dousis to the left arms, so 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.800 that at least gives Australia in a left arm pace 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.160 option given that Mitchell Stark is now retired from the format. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.560 The other surprise was that matt Short he was dropped 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.359 from this squad. He's fully fit and he's playing in 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.320 that Pakistan series, but he has been replaced Matthew Renshaw 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.400 has been preferred to him. The explanation given was that 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.680 Renshall is very strong against spin. They're expecting to come 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.920 up against a lot of that, especially in those Sri 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:31.640 Lankan hosted matches. And yeah, he's obviously just recently debuted 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.479 in the format as well. He made that first appearance 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.000 for Australian ten twenties just in that most recent series 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.600 against Pakistan. So congratulations to Renshaw and to Dorcius who 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.680 come into that squad. Sean Abbott is another one who's 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.760 coming in not into the official squad but as a 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.920 traveling reserve because there are a couple of injury clouds 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.640 amongst that squad of fifteen that Australia have chosen still 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.320 ahead of this tournament. Josh Hazewood isn't in the Subcontinent 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.520 just yet. He's still recovering from his achilles injury in Sydney, 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.440 so he'll join at the later date. And there are 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.680 injury clouds of Adam Zampa, who didn't bat because of 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.960 a groin issue in the third T twenty against Pakistan, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.520 and hamstring issues to Nathan Allis and Tim David. But 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.960 the hobout Hurricanes pair both couldn't finish the most recent 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.440 Big Bash because of those injuries, but they've both traveled 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.400 over and are both hopeful of playing a big part 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.679 for Australia in this tournament. The selectors may be thinking 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.000 that they've got a bit of time to allow these 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.080 injuries to heal and to get their team right because 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.840 the early round of this tournament Australia have some matches 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.520 against some very lowly ranked opponents. Ireland is their first 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.920 opponent they ranked eleventh in the world. Then they play 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.640 Zimbabwe who are ranked twelfth. They've got a match against 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.240 Sri Lanka there, who are always strong at home of course, 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.000 and then the other team in their group is O'man 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.960 and they ranked twentieth in the world. So Australia we 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.360 need to finish in the top two of those five 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.960 to get through to the Super sixers, where if they 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.080 do progress, we already know that they'll play the likes 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.080 of India, South Africa and the West Indies and so 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.040 because of those matches at the start, I think Australia 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.239 will be thinking that if they can just get those wins, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.760 then they can bring in the big guns and those 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:17.040 first choice players when the whips really will be cracking. Finally, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.200 let's have a look at the domestic stuff and if 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.800 you're listening to this podcast when it comes out on 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.560 Tuesday third while, there's lots of domestic crickets going to 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.600 be across your screens on cricket dot Com, dot Au 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.320 and the CAAA Live app. Two matches in the WNCL 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.040 last year's final, we've got a rematch of New South 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.240 Wales versus Queensland and South Australia who have been very 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.640 impressive recently. They take over Victoria and then in the 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.080 One Day Cup of the men's edition, Victoria are playing 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.480 at the MCG they are hosting Queensland. That those two 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:49.839 always put on a good show, so it'll be a 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.680 good one to watch as well. All Right, it is 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.040 time jump into our chat with Charlie Latchman all the 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.959 way over from Zimbabwe at the Under nineteen World Cup. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.880 Hopefully he's going to be fit and far to bring 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:07.560 home some more silverware for Australia. All the way from Zimbabwe. 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.480 We're joined now by Charlie Latchmond, who has been starring 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.040 with the ball at the Under nineteen World Cup. Charlie, 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.960 welcome mate. Have you been enjoying the tournament so far? 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:17.000 So good? 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.920 I haven't really, I said, I haven't really been a 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.400 part of anything like this before, and yet it's good 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.160 to sort of, you know, get that insight into how 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:31.280 big the stakes are and how serious people treat it. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.800 And yeah, it's just awesome to play against some of 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.920 the best players in the world for our age group, 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.079 which is unreal. 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.280 You've been part of the under nineteens for a little while. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.080 But is this your first trip overseas playing cricket or 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:46.400 have you done a bit of travel already. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.240 Ah, yeah, it's my first cricket trip overseas. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.319 I hadn't been overseas since I was like seven years 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.880 older to the US, so it's quite foreign to me. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.720 Yeah, I came over here. I was a bit rattled 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.040 about what was going on. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.320 But yeah, it's good to sort of be back in 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.400 that sense because there's so different over here the way 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:14.920 things work, you know, food and everything. Yeah, it's good. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.160 Good to sort of adapt and be able to maintain 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.840 performance what's being over here with different environments. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.240 Well, even the power sockets are different, aren't they. Like 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.360 you can't just plug in your Aussie charge all right, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.080 you've got to get the African ones. 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.319 Yeah, that was panic stations at the airport. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.760 Everyone was trying to trying to go to the store 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:36.240 to get it. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.959 Thank you God for a helpful lady. But yeah, it 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.679 was good, very different, very different here. 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.320 Yeah, and you're in a great part of the world. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.240 Obviously he's in Barbe.

Have you been able to get 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.160 out much and do a safari or something like that? 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:58.160 Yeah, do the safari in Namibia. It was a sunset safari.

It was good to see the animals. 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.760 I mean, some of the lines weren't too keen to 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.560 poke their face out, which is the one I wanted 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:08.880 to see. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.240 But you know, you got to see elephants, zebras, you know, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.920 all the cool stuffs. Yeah, it was. It was good because. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.480 You know, you're quite confined in the hotel and the 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.520 cricket environment and it was good to sort of get 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.439 out and do something else other than cricket and watching TV. 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.400 That's great and I imagine don't get too any elephants 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:36.080 into Woomba, so oh nice little When did you learn 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.319 that you'd made the under nineteen squad? Do you remember 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.920 getting a call or was there a text message sent out? 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.160 Talk us through that moment and what you sort of 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.080 were feeling at the time. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.240 Yeah, it was kind of at the end of the 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.880 nineteens National Championships in Perth, which is a great time. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.360 Loved it. Some of the best tournaments you'll ever go to. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:01.560 And with the airport going back to Brizzy and yeah, 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.520 our Queensland coach Greg Moller came up and shook my 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.600 hand and said congratulations mate, you've made it, and I 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.199 was like, oh. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:09.800 It's pretty good. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.320 I was pretty stoked and it was good to see 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.400 the other Queensland boys that I was on the plane 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.959 with share that experience, you know, Stevie Hogan, Jade and 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:21.559 Draper and Ben Gordon. It was pretty special to see 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.480 so many Queenslanders in the squad and be able to 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.160 you know, celebrate a good week in Perth and then 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:35.240 to top it off the Aussie side and yeah, no 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.840 it was good. And then obviously Tim Nielsen sent the 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.680 message to say I was in. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.520 So it was yeah. I was very stoked. Mom and 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.720 dad very happy. Yeah, it was nice. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.640 That's fantastic. Any family coming over for the tournament at all. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.840 Yeah, Mum and dad came and my sister Lawla came over. 0:12:55.120 --> 0:13:00.200 Fantastic Namibia which was awesome. They originally weren't going, but 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.000 they yeah, they got quite greedy and couldn't miss out 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:04.760 on the opportunity. 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.560 Yeah, they So they've loved it. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.959 They're just they're not seen the Zimbabwe in games. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.760 Just you know, it's a bit pretty tough to sort 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.680 of organize that stuff short term. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.120 I know some of the parents have and they've obviously 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.040 got back to work, but yeah, they've they've loved it. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.480 They've loved the the difference. So, yes, I was talking 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.880 about something different. They've been in Australia for a while now, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:28.959 they've been overseas for. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.439 A bit, so it was good for them. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.440 To obviously watch some unbelievable cricket and also just see 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:36.720 the sites, which is nice. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.000 Yeah, that's right. And to see their son and brother 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.920 get a few wickets is a good thing as well. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.120 Yeah, yeah, it's good. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.160 It looks like a pretty tight, you know, close knit 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.559 team from what we see on TV. And you mentioned 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.440 those Queenslanders that are in the squad with you. Who 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.120 are you closest to it and who are your best 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.280 mates or have you made some mates from other states 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.320 that might have surprised you at the start of the tournament. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.640 Yeah, I think i'd send in an earlier interview there. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.240 It's a bit of a special group that everyone kind 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.360 of gets around each other, you know that you never 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.000 see a team room not packed. 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.840 Yeah, it's it's good. You know, I knew some of 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.680 the boys from the Indian series. It's good. 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.520 Became really close mates with them. Obviously my Queen's they 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.600 mates are you know, some of my some of my 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.920 best mates. But yeah, I've met some new blokes across 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.160 the States that you know, you know, proved to be 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:34.200 really valuable blokes and you know, I'm definitely keeping contact 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:35.520 with them going forward. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.560 That's great. Before we get into the actual cricket itself. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.040 When you're not playing cricket, Charlie, what do you do 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.880 to pass the time? Do you have hobbies or your fishermen? 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.000 And do you play other sports? Do you what do 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:47.640 you get up to. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.320 Or do. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.720 I guess because I've just finished school so it was 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.240 quite not a whole lot going on outside of cricket, 0:14:58.280 --> 0:14:58.480 and that. 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.840 I do love my phone, I love a doom. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:08.200 Scroll, but yeah, it's not really I probably need to 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.200 adapt to a hobby and yeah, I guess I'll start 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.040 UNI soon, so I guess that'll take up a lot 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.960 of the time as well, so I'll find something. 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.760 Now, do you have a course locked? Isn't you going 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:19.160 to study? 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.880 Yeah, I'm studying law at QT, starting at the end 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.920 of at the end of next month, which will be 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.760 nice bit of change of. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:33.480 Scenery outside of the boring, boring Monton just life of school. Yeah, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.400 I'm sure will provide some entertainment. 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.360 I'm sure there'll be some boring moments too, so it's 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:46.400 not all going to be sunshina rainbows. So yeah, you're 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.200 over there in Zimbabwe now. Now I have heard you 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.480 say that there were a few differences between playing in 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.120 the midbra and playing in Zimbabwe. Can you just explain 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.000 sort of that because from an Australian point of view, 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.400 I would have assumed all of Southern Africa would be 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.960 pretty similar, but that hasn't been your experience. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.480 Yeah, in the Midea was very similar to the Dexter 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:06.840 playing Australia. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.080 Quite yeah, as I said, bouncy. 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.000 Yeah, sometimes it was a bit different because we played 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.880 on different wickets, but there were certain like similar characteristics 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:23.600 that obviously the bounce, some of tennis Bawley and then yeah, 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.000 just pretty flat. It was kind of it was really 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:30.160 good cricket wickets, you know, for good games. It proved 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.760 the bowling first in the morning, which is quite nice. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.440 You know, it had a bit of stuff early and 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.120 it became quite flat in the afternoon, which I think 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.359 that's very similar in the games that I played in Australia. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:46.600 However Zimbabwe is a bit different. Yesterday, the wicket we 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:51.920 played on it was lovely stadium, but very very crumbly wicket, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.560 very flat, dry, Yeah, it was. It was very different. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.880 I hadn't really played on anything like it. The footing 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.520 was a bit tough for me, but yeah, it was 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.560 spinner friendly as you saw on the scorecard. The spinners 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.760 blowed the house down. They proved very useful, you know, 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:15.960 Naden Core and oron Sharma they you know, they set 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.560 the game up really, I mean Nayden got the big 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.720 wicket of old made it was whacking them. 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.680 But yeah, it was. It was very different. Pretty low 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.040 and slow, that's what i'd say. And crumbly. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.879 Yeah, the West Indies gave you guys a bit of 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.359 a run for your money, which is sort of the 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.040 first close game you've had in the tournament. That must 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:39.800 be good though, to show that you guys are able 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.120 to get over the line in close games as well, 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.480 coming to the point end of the season of the tournament. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.240 Yeah, yeah, definitely. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.399 As we spoke about even out in the field so 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.320 that it's going to be good, we needed to have 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.159 a game like that that sort of challenged our bowling 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:58.800 because you know, the other games mightn't have been you know, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.760 they're a little bit more in sided in our bowling innings. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:06.040 There are a couple of early scares against Ireland and 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:10.240 et cetera. But yeah, it was good to sort of 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.639 get a vibe of what it's going to be like 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.560 in the semi final. And we've played India before, we 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:20.200 understand that they go about a similar business in the 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.240 power play, just trying to take on the game. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.159 Hit the ball hard, hit a lot of boundaries. 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.680 Yeah, so it was it was actually awesome to sort 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.200 of get in that different contest and you know, find 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:34.639 ways to win, because I guess that's. 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:35.399 What good teams do. 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.720 They always find a way to win games, no matter 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.840 how the circumstances say. It was a little bit messy 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.000 at the start, but yeah, it's good to sort of 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.120 clean it up and then get the job done. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.600 Yeah, and look, sometimes you just got to win ugly 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.120 as well, and that's fine. Speaking of that India series, mate, 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:57.080 you dismissed that Indian gun Shrivanshi, didn't you was a 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.720 nice delivery. And there's every chance at Australia will have 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.760 to play India again in this tournament. I mean, what 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.320 is it like coming up against someone like that who's 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:09.000 already got a massive international reputation and yet he's still 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.720 only playing under nineteens. 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.119 Yeah, it's pretty good. I didn't really. 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.119 I hadn't played against him before, some of the boys 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:21.320 had in an early India series. But yeah, it was 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.240 quite because it was a little bit weird that, you know, 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.720 you're staring down the barrel of a bloke who's you know, 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:31.360 scored a scored one hundred god knows how many balls 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.240 in the IPL against some of the best bowlers in 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.760 the world. Yeah, and now you're bowling to him. It's 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.879 a bit you know what's going to happen here. So 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.359 it's kind of once you saw I guess I found 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:47.480 Once I you know, you know, started bowling to him. 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.199 You know you can kind of pick up, you know, 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:50.840 ways to. 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.600 You know, find ways to get him out and you know, 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.600 even not not just get him out, but you know, 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:02.120 restrict him, which is quite difficult as you've seen the scores. 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.960 But it's it's a very different sort of thing playing 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.200 against India because you know, they take on the game 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.120 in different ways and play that you know, dictate the game. 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.919 How they want to do it. And it's even more 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.280 satisfying when you get to stop them from going about 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:18.920 their business. 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:23.600 Absolutely, Yeah, we can just ignore those teammates getting past 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:24.120 the back. 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:26.919 About two of them tried to walk in before and 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:28.159 one's placed his head in. 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.520 Olipeak has called you the fastest bowler in the attack. 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.760 What it has been the fastest you've been clocked out 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:38.480 to your knowledge. 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.000 I haven't been clocked on along and a bit. I 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:43.280
