We went down south and 32 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: saw the beaches and then went across and saw some 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: elephants at the at the National Park and did a 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: safari there and then back up to the hills and 35 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: did some hiking around as well. So I've seen a 36 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: fair bit of it in the week leading up to 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: the tournaments. But it's back back into the work now 38 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: and enough about the traveling and we can focus on 39 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: the cricket. 40 00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: Well. 41 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: We want to hear about your best meal so far. 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: What if you're eaten? 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: Surprisingly, I won't say this is the best meal, but 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: surprisingly they do a very good wood fired pizza here 45 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: in Schlanka, so we have been having a couple of those. 46 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: It's not your traditional Sherilankin cuisine, but yeah, a few curries. 47 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: We had a good chicken ticken masala one time. Similar, 48 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: very similar food to what you'd expect in India. But 49 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: they do an egg copper here for breakfast, which is 50 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 2: like a bit of a Doughey pancake kind of thing 51 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: with an egg in it. So certainly been enjoying a 52 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: couple of those. But yeah, so maybe curry was the 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: best meal. 54 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: Excellent, Okay, Well, get stuck into those egg hoppers because 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: you get an major energy. It's going to be a 56 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: big tournament, some really tough conditions that are quite foreign 57 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: to Australia as well, so the Aussies we're going to 58 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: be touching on their potential side as well. And just 59 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: a little bit, but you did catch up with Josh 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: Ingliss just a day or two ago. He's the soul 61 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: we could keep it in this squad, but that's not 62 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: an issue for him. He's looking forward to the challenge 63 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: and after this short break, let's say listen to your 64 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: chat with Josh Mliss. 65 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: Hello yone, and welcome to the Unplayable podcast, coming to 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: you from Colombo as Australia built up to their World 67 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: Cup opener against Ireland on Wednesday.

Is 78 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: that a good thing or a bad thing? 79 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: I don't really know. I think you can make of 80 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: it what you want. 81 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: It's obviously nice we get to I think they're playing today, 82 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: so we get a look at them and how they're 83 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 4: going to line up and that sort of thing. But 84 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 4: now looking forward, we've got obviously a few days training now, 85 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: so they'll be nice to get into the prep. 86 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: What do you know about Ireland? Australia played them once 87 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: in the last decade, I think, so a bit of 88 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: an unknown. 89 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, not a whole heap, but like I said, I 90 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: think that's why that game. Being able to watch that 91 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 4: today all give us a lot more info on that side. 92 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: And there's nine I was looking at their squad today. 93 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: There's nine of those guys who played an eleven in 94 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 2: the twenty two World Cup in Brisbane. You obviously weren't 95 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: there at a cut hand, and there's a bit of 96 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: familiarity there amongst the squad that the guys will face 97 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: on Wednesday. 98 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 99 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I said, I don't know a whole heap, 100 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: but I think a lot of the guys, like you said, 101 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: have come up against them before, so that'll be good 102 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 4: for them. 103 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: How do you go when playing against these teams like 104 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: Ireland's in barbe Yaman that you're facing in Group B. 105 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 2: Is it much preparation or is a bit of feel 106 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: on the day or a bit of both. 107 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 4: I think it's very individualized. Obviously, I think you've got 108 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 4: to do a little bit more. Obviously we don't play 109 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: against these guys a whole heap, so person i'd just 110 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: like to look through their bowlers. We get sent out 111 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 4: a whole stat pack from the from the team and 112 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: we'll go through that, and I just like to have 113 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 4: a look at their bowlers and their change ups and 114 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 4: that sort of thing, just so it's not a surprise 115 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 4: on the day. 116 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: Have you played against me? Even before Phil Paul Sterling 117 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: has been around the county scene, Josh Little has been 118 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: in the IPL of You've seen much of those guys. 119 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 4: I think played Little in the MLC and maybe Sterling 120 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: in the hundred, But I learned that, yeah, not much. 121 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: Let's sort of turn to the pack in Pakistan's series. 122 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: You played just the one game there but didn't go 123 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: to play obviously, But what do you take from it? 124 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: I guess personally and as a group coming into a 125 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: big tournament. 126 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously didn't go the way we would have liked. 127 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 4: But I think the main thing we can take out 128 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 4: as a bad end group is how well we need 129 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 4: to be prepared for this World Cup. I think it 130 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 4: just shows you need to have really good plans and 131 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 4: strong plans from boor one to get your innings going. 132 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 4: And I think it was a great learning curve for 133 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 4: a lot of the younger guys that played during that series. 134 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 4: Just how high cricket is in the Subcontinent. 135 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: And a few moving past that that series as well, 136 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 2: a few injuries obviously a couple of guys coming back 137 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: into the squad for the tournament and you and I 138 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: think Marcus Stine is going to played the one game there. 139 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: Does that disrupt the group leading into the tournament or 140 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: you know, is it good to have these sort of 141 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: few days in Columbo who to get sort of settled. 142 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, a bit of both. 143 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 4: Ideally, like it would have been nice if it was 144 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 4: a week further down the track so we could have 145 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: the full squad together playing games as a group, but 146 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 4: just the way the schedule is, it didn't really allow 147 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: that now at that time, so I think it's the 148 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 4: right decision. You don't want to be guys getting injured 149 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: before a big World Cup, So yeah, it. 150 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: Is what it is. 151 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: Really, let's go back a bit further, maybe two weeks now, 152 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: Big Beast champions again, hitting the winning six hour? 153 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: Cool? 154 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: Was that for yourself? 155 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? It was really nice. 156 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I love my time of the scorches. We've had 157 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 4: obviously a lot of success over the years and well 158 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: we're not just rocking like that. It's a pretty special 159 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 4: place to play and yeah, to be out there right 160 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 4: at the end and hit the winning rungs was a 161 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: really special feeling. 162 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: There's a few I don't know if it was nerves maybe, 163 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: but a couple of wickets lost towards the end there, 164 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: and then I guess that that's sixth that you hit. 165 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: We let Cooper Connelly have another chance at getting the 166 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: side of the line, or you definitely trying to launch 167 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: that one. 168 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: No, no, I was definitely launching that one. Yeah. 169 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 4: I've seen so many highlights of the past games the 170 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 4: winning runs being hit, and I thought, this is my chance, so. 171 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: I'll take it on. Yeah, as you said, we lost 172 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: a few wickets towards the end. 173 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: I think it rained and it was skidding on beautifully 174 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden it just started nipping 175 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 4: around about. I think it starky and Saber and Dwarsh 176 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: bowled really well. So yeah, I took my opportunity. 177 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: How do you guys keep doing it? I guess you've 178 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: been there nine years now. I think this was part 179 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: of your third title, yeah, I think, and a bit 180 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: of a fresh looking greet this year. Obviously a lot 181 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: of names still there, but Bowling Attack was quite different. Like, 182 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: how do you guys sort of keep doing it and 183 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: keep winning. 184 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 4: I think it's just we've had the same pretty much 185 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 4: the same group for the for the whole time, and 186 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 4: as you know, most guys are in wa playing, so 187 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 4: we all. 188 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: Know each other so well. 189 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: I think more importantly, we all know our roles really 190 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 4: well within that side. And yeah, adding the overseers here 191 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 4: and there just helps sprinkling a bit of that stardust around. 192 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 4: We've seen how well Finn went this year. I think 193 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 4: Payney was unbelievable when he came in. But yeah, as 194 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 4: you said, we've we've lost a couple of experienced bowlers 195 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 4: in Aj and Dorf, and I thought the way Marley 196 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 4: in particular and Coop, the way they grew into the 197 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 4: tournament with their bowling really helped us towards the back 198 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 4: end imagined. 199 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: Finn coach Adamvojas has given you a lot of credit 200 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: for that recruitment a couple of years ago. Are you 201 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: taking credit for that? 202 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 3: Yeah? 203 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: Are we requesting a surprize money as well for that one? 204 00:08:59,240 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 205 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: I obviously played with Finn in the in the MLC 206 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 4: and saw how destructive he could be, and that's sort 207 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 4: of a spot that we've battled with over the years. 208 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: It's hard batting it optus in the power play because 209 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 4: it does do a little bit. And I just thought 210 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 4: he was someone that could really take ownership and take 211 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 4: on those those power playovers. And yeah, he played beautifully 212 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 4: this year. 213 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: Did you see? How did you see his tournament this year? 214 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: Obviously took him a little bit to get the pace 215 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: of it and feel of the Australian gets last season, 216 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: but then this season was just another level, wasn't it. 217 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? It was. Yeah. I think he's spoken about it. 218 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 4: I think he got injured after and sort of had 219 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 4: a bit of time to reflect and work on his game, 220 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: and he definitely came. 221 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: Back a better cricketer. I think he played some really 222 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: smart cricket at times as well. This year. 223 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 4: It looks because he hits such a long ball, it 224 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 4: looks like he just tries to hit every ball for six, 225 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 4: But there is thought behind it. And no, he got 226 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 4: us off to a good start more often than not. 227 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 2: The celebrations Mitch Marshley in the way there was he. 228 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, unsurprisingly bias led the charge. 229 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: He's very good at that. 230 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 2: Through the tradition. I guess I was changed the other 231 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: day and he mentioned it always going to Freeman or 232 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: for w A teams the Scorches always sort of head 233 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: down there and that's part of your your celebration. Talk 234 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 2: us through that and how you know your knowledge of 235 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: the history of that. 236 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I actually said to one of the boys 237 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 4: on the day, I live quite far from Freo, but 238 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 4: so I never really go there, and the only time 239 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 4: I really go there is when we celebrate titles. So 240 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 4: I love Freeman holds a special place in my heart. 241 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 4: But no, I think it's great. The tradition, as you said, 242 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 4: we always started. I think it's the Norfolk, the first 243 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 4: pub that we always go to and sort of work 244 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 4: our way through through Freoh And yeah, I don't I 245 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 4: don't know when it when it started, but ever since 246 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 4: sort of I've been in the side and I for 247 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 4: She'll Win a few years back, we've we've done the 248 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 4: same thing. 249 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: I think you're saying it goes back to that I 250 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 2: guess olden generation of when you had Gilly, Tom Moody, 251 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 2: Brendon Julian playing for WA back in the nineties, and 252 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: I think that's when they sort of started going down there. 253 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: It's carried on ever since. 254 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's brilliant, great day. 255 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: It's fast forward again, I guess to playing Shrilanker. You've 256 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: obviously got good memories here from one Hunter on Test debut, 257 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: major ODI debut here, I think as well. And then 258 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: you played against Shaker in Sydney for your T twenty debut, 259 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: so I guess took us through your connection with Shrinker. 260 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's quite strange how it's sort of panned out. Yeah, 261 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 4: it's a it's a beautiful country. 262 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: I love coming here. 263 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 4: It's a great place to tour, and they're a very 264 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 4: good cricket side, so you put all that together, it's 265 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 4: pretty nice. 266 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, really really happy to be back here. 267 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: Suit your style of player, you think playing it obviously 268 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: playing a spin as it as strength of yours. 269 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so it's something I enjoy about batting 270 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 4: his face and spin bawling and yeah, looking at ways 271 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 4: to score runs really on difficult wickets at times. 272 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 3: So yeah, I thoroughly enjoy coming back here and playing. 273 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: What's your understanding of why pitchers here tend to favor 274 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: spin or not favor just spin friendly, I guess, And 275 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: you know how that much as that talked about in 276 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: the group, especially leading into a tournament such as the 277 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: World Cup. 278 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we speak about it a lot. 279 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 4: I think obviously the wicket's a lot slower here, and 280 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 4: it's not necessarily the ball that always spins big that 281 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: gets you out or can be challenging. It's the inconsistency 282 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: of it. Quite often it's the ball that skids on 283 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 4: and always feels like it gathers pace off the wicket. 284 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: So yeah, as I spoke about before, I think you're 285 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 4: just going to be really well planned and prepared to 286 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 4: where you're scoring areas are and how you are going 287 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 4: to score runs out here. 288 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: I did a piece dream The Big Bash about the 289 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: role of spin at Opter Stadium, which may surprise me 290 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: at the time, and others of you found that, you know, 291 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: spin's playing a bigger role in what you know w 292 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: A conditions where it's typically run own for being paced friendly, 293 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: especially in sort of the T twenty. 294 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the wickets were a touch different this year, 295 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 4: or have been for a couple of years. Maybe there 296 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 4: haven't been that sort of glassy sheene that we used 297 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 4: to see at the Whacker. Obviously you've got the bounce 298 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: and the good pace in the wickets, so if there 299 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 4: is spin as well. 300 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: That that makes it doubly difficult. 301 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 4: But yeah, as you said, we're seeing a lot more 302 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 4: spin optics this year and the ball actually spinning there 303 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: as well. 304 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: You've been to a few World Cups, now this is 305 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: your first one heading in is the I guess the 306 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: starting week keeper. We obviously replaced Alex Carey in the 307 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three oh I World Cup, but are feeling 308 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 2: sort of heading and knowing that you're going to be 309 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: in that starting eleven to come to a start of 310 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: the tournament. 311 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice, it's nice, I think. 312 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, my fourth t twenty World Cup and sort of 313 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 4: my first time I'm probably going to play, so yeah, 314 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 4: a little bit different this time, but it's nice to 315 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 4: sort of have that experience under my belt as well, 316 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,239 Speaker 4: having been to a few before. 317 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: Not having a backup keeper in the squad. Is that 318 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: making nervous or a voter confidence a bit of both? 319 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 3: No, it's it's it's good. I mean, like it is 320 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 3: what it is. 321 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 4: I think quite often you don't you don't need it, 322 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 4: as I've seen, I've been to three before and not 323 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 4: played a part, So you only need it when you 324 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 4: need it, really, So yeah, I'll be throwing MAXI some 325 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 4: balls this this Havo, just to make sure he's tiptop 326 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 4: ready to go. 327 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: Oh you went yesterday at training we saw him doing 328 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: some catching drills. 329 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: That wouldn't been great for doing. 330 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: Surely, how do your aid he's keeping skills. 331 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: I haven't said. I haven't seen much of it. 332 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 4: At the when the game was rained off the other night, 333 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 4: he had the gloves on in the changing rooms and 334 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 4: TD was throwning balls, so the boedom got to him there. 335 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: But no, I haven't. I haven't seen him. Obviously, he's 336 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: highly skilled. 337 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 4: His hand eye is ridiculous, so he'll probably be a 338 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 4: freak at that too. But his gloves, yeah, they're his gloves, 339 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 4: so he's kind of prepared. He's obviously been worded. 340 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: Up and talks up he's keeping skills. 341 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: I haven't. 342 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 4: I haven't spoke to him about it, but I think 343 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 4: he'd be I think he said he would be fine. 344 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: Back to the stumps. It's up to the stumps where 345 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: he might struggle a bit. 346 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: Your role in this suber sing Bat's three preminantly through 347 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: last year with all those T twenty series in the 348 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 2: Caribbean against the India as well that sort of three 349 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: sort of four role with potentially stopping its greenie there. 350 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: Do you see that for yourself this time? 351 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. 352 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 4: I don't think we've fully landed on on where I'll 353 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: be just yet, but yeah, I imagine it would be 354 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 4: sort of about three to four position. Yeah, trying to 355 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: keep the momentum going after the top two go nuts hopefully. 356 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: I just want to ask you about the record fastest 357 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: century for Australia. You had it, TD got it from you. 358 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: You're looking to get that. 359 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 4: Back absolutely, But anytime you're going up against t D 360 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 4: in terms of scoring rates and strike rates, it's. 361 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: Probably a bit of a push. So we'll see how 362 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 3: we go. 363 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: Just for you, let you go. Josh Bi will finish 364 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: off a few predictions for the tournament highest I was 365 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: totally you've got a prediction. We've obviously seen high scoring 366 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: totals in the West in his last year Australia bat 367 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: you shift to a lot of aggressive batting. You've got 368 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: a tip for us of what we can see this tournament. 369 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, hopefully hopefully it's got a two in front 370 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 4: of it. I think in Sri Lanka, I don't think 371 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 4: the totals are going to be that high. 372 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 3: But maybe if we. 373 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: Go through to that Super eight stage in India, I 374 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 4: think that's where you'll see the bigger totals generally better 375 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 4: batting wickets and. 376 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: Smaller grounds, best catch. 377 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 4: Or you've probably got to go Max, You don't, Yeah, 378 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 4: you pull some freakish ones off. 379 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: So he's definitely got plenty in the locker. 380 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: Didn't want to no out yourself for that one? Oh 381 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: well yeah, yeah, most sixers for Australia in the tournament. 382 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 4: I think Tim David, I think you've got to back 383 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 4: him in what he've done, what he's done over the 384 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 4: last few years and T twenty crickets ridiculous, So yeah, 385 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: you'd be a brave man to go against him. 386 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: Do you find yourself competing with him against in the nets? 387 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: No, definitely not, there's no competition there. 388 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: Who will Australia play in the final? Who do you 389 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 2: fancy for that? 390 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 4: I think I think you've got to go India. I 391 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 4: think they're very strong, they've got most bases covered and 392 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 4: in their home conditions as well, I. 393 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 3: Think they'd be they'll be looking to be favorites. 394 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: What do you learn, I guess good to sort of 395 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: test yourselves out against them. That series against them in 396 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: Australia last I think it was November. Yeah, it was 397 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 2: a good opportunity to sort of see where you're at 398 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: to the top rank site. 399 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's nice playing them not so long 400 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 4: ago as well. If we do come up against them 401 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 4: later in the tournament, we've sort of have that knowledge 402 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: of what we came up against and I know what 403 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 4: will be. Yeah, we'll be facing really so Yeah, they're 404 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 4: always a good team no matter where you play them, 405 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 4: and yeah they'll be difficult to beat at home. 406 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: Just appreciate your time, go well in the tournament and 407 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: all the best. 408 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Chi Mane. 409 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So, Josh Englis, he's gone pretty safe there, Jack 410 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: Tim David for the most sixers. I think that's pretty safe. Bet. 411 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: I'm surprised he didn't want to nominate himself either the 412 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: sixers or the catches. But you know, maybe he's just 413 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: being modest, right. 414 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: Well, we have seen him hit a few big hits 415 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: as well. You know, he finished the BBL season with 416 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: a six into the stands as optis and that's no 417 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: mean fee either. So yeah, it did play it pretty safe, 418 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: but you can't really go wrong with Tim David for 419 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 2: the most sixers can you and Glenn Maxwell for the 420 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: best catch played the safe with India as well, clearly 421 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 2: the number one rank side heading into this tournament. They've 422 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 2: dominated well, they won the last World Cup and they've 423 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 2: dominated the two years since and they're the co hosts, 424 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: so pretty safe bet there. But yeah, we'll wait and see. 425 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: They got pushed in their first game by the USA, 426 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: so there's a few upsets being flirted with at the moment. 427 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: We haven't seen one yet, but surely we're due in 428 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: the next few games. 429 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: I must admit coming into this tournament I wasn't super 430 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: excited for the prospect, but now that the games have 431 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: started and we've actually got some results on really getting 432 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: drawn in by the spectacle of another T twenty World 433 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: Cup and having three matches per day. At this part 434 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: of the tournament, there's just so much content to be 435 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: across Netherlands, Italy and Nepal. Some great yeah, as you say, 436 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: almost stories there, but there's a lot to be across 437 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: at this early point of the tournament. 438 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: It's a great time zone too for Australian audiences. You've 439 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: got the four thirty PM game which is ten am 440 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: local time, then you roll into a prime time sort 441 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: of eight thirty slot, and then if you're really keen, 442 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: you can stay up overnight and watch a full what 443 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: quick mass here would be twelve thirteen forteen hours of 444 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: straight cricket, wouldn't it. So that's definitely one for the 445 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 2: cricket lovers, that one. 446 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 3: Now. 447 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: Mitch Marsh spoke to reporters on Tuesday, Jack Australian captain. 448 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: Did he give any insights on how the Ausies are 449 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: going to shape up for their first match or any 450 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: other details on the team. 451 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: He didn't confirm the team or anything like that, but 452 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: he did say that Nathan Allis was available, having missed 453 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: the Pakistan tour and then the Big Bash finals with 454 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 2: that little hamstring niggle. He did say that he's Hurricanes 455 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: teammate Tim David wouldn't play in the first match, so 456 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 2: his hamstring is a bit more serious than Nathan Allis's, 457 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: so he's coming back from potential a higher strain there. 458 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 2: So he's been out since boxing days, so they're going 459 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: to ease him back into the tournament. So that opens 460 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: the door for Matt Renshaw to come into the eleven 461 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: and play that middle order role that Tim David would have, 462 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: which is potentially explains why they went that way in 463 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: dropping Matt Short from the squad. They could potentially see 464 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 2: that Renshaw would have a role to play in the 465 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: first few games, and it looks to be the case 466 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 2: if they indeed go that way with him. 467 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: So you're telling me that those videos as I saw 468 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: of Tim David on the cricket dot Com Dot A 469 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: social channels of him smashing sixers onto the roof of 470 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: the training ground, that's him with a bit of a 471 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: still dodgy Hammy. 472 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: Wow. 473 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: I can't say it's dodgy because he's been doing a 474 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: lot of running. Yesterday we saw him. He did about 475 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 2: ten runs between the wickets in his full kit. I'm 476 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: just saying that, Kyle, I don't think they want to 477 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: risk it this early in the tournament, given the severity 478 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 2: of the injury that he's coming back from. So I 479 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: think they're going to play it quite coush with him, 480 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: knowing that potentially the pitchers here Art's high scoring as 481 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 2: what you'll see in India later in the tournament, which 482 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: is in term bringing those lesser associate nations into the 483 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: contest because we've seeing one sixty odd versus one fifty clashes, 484 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 2: so I think, yeah, potentially, I don't want to put 485 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: too much burden on that hamstring with bringing him back 486 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 2: too early in the tournament because they play the first 487 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: two games in three days and then travel to Candy, 488 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: which is a four hour road trip by bus, and 489 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: they've got another two games there in three days. So 490 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,239 Speaker 2: it's a heavy start to the tournament for Australia even 491 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: though they haven't played yet. But yeah, I think they'll 492 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: look to take it easy with Tim Dave because he's 493 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: arguably the most important player given the success he's had 494 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 2: in India in this tournament. 495 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, and you did a bit of a deep 496 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: dive into the stats as well, didn't you. I mean 497 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: I was watching I've watched a couple of those cold 498 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: Cutter games and the scoring has been really high, but 499 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: then we might get lower scores in Tri Lanka. Is 500 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: that going to be the trend for this tournament? 501 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is that I was crunching the numbers and 502 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 2: I'll give you a little look at the I guess 503 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 2: what I was able to find out before the Peace 504 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 2: Coast Live on CREA dot com. Dou but in India. 505 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 2: The five venues that they're using for this tournament, which 506 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: is Mumbai, Chennai, Dalhi, Metabad and col Cutter. The average 507 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: score banning first is one hundred and eighty six, but 508 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: in Tri Lanka it's only one hundred and forty eight, 509 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 2: and that's in T twenty Internationals, and then if you 510 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 2: look at T twenty World Cups it's even lower, So 511 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: there is quite a drop there, and Sri Lanka is 512 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: sort of around the mark of that, you know, one 513 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 2: point fifty and you're in the game type of situation. 514 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: Right, So we shouldn't get worried if we'll see Australia 515 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: posting low scores and winning, because that is just along 516 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: with the trend. And when they get to India for 517 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: the second stage, hopefully all things going to play and 518 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: then the scores should increase. 519 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's right. And you've also got the pressure 520 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 2: of a World Cup. You know, if you lose one game, 521 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 2: you're potentially on the cusp of being eliminated. So even 522 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 2: though Australia has battered so aggressively in the last World 523 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: Cup cycle, there's a coming into a World Cup they 524 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: get in a little bit of trouble it's kind of like, well, 525 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 2: if we lose this game, we might be at risk 526 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 2: of going out of the tournament. So you might see 527 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 2: that's approach rained in a little bit. I did ask 528 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: Mitch marsh about it and he said, you know, that's 529 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 2: been their style and they'll look to keep doing that. 530 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: But you just don't know in the heat of a 531 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: World Cup match too. 532 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 1: Well, you don't, but you can be pretty sure that 533 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 1: Mitch Marsh is going to stick to his word and 534 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: back himself in those sort of situations to be fun 535 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: to watch for sure. The Aussies have had a few 536 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: training sessions Jack and Colombo, what have you sort of 537 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: picked up and Yeah, any sort of pointers that you've 538 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: been able to extricate from those training sessions so far? 539 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 2: Lots of spin All of the net bowlers that I've 540 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: seen so far have been spinners, a lot of left 541 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: arm finger spinners as well, so they've definitely been practicing 542 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 2: that to sort of face that style of bowling. They've 543 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: obviously got their own left arm spinners in the squad 544 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 2: in Matt Kernerman and Cooper Connolly, so that's been a big, 545 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: I guess focus for them. A lot of running sessions 546 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: obviously Nathan aalysis coming back from that hamstring injury, and 547 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 2: so it's Tim David. So they've been testing that out. 548 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: One of the things I did pick up on and 549 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 2: the cricket nufs will love this. But with their fielding practice, 550 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: they've had this little foamy type baseball that they've been 551 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 2: using to practice their catching out on the boundaries. Because 552 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: the fielding coach, Andre Borovic was telling me that they 553 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: curve in the air, so that replicates the powerful batters 554 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: how they hit down on the ball and put backspin 555 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: on it and actually rises as it goes towards the boundary. 556 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: So they're able to replicate that with a slightly softer 557 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: ball for those boundary catches. 558 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: Wow, and so how does this foamy ball travel through 559 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: the air? Does it float a bit or does it 560 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: travel like a cricket ball. 561 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: Would it floats through the air. So it's got baseball 562 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: stitching on it, and it floats through the air. It's 563 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: quite heavy, like, it's quite dense, so he's able to 564 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: give it a good whack with a creat bat. But yeah, 565 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 2: just sort of hovers in the air and you can 566 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: imagine if you're playing a sort of backspin tennis backhand. 567 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: You can imagine how that sort of rises up as 568 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: it goes over the net. That's what they're trying to 569 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 2: replicate with these catching practice, I guess because you see 570 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: the powerful batters hit that kind of shot that moves 571 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 2: through the air away from the fielder. So yeah, really 572 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 2: nuffy sort of areas there. But I found it very 573 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 2: interesting when I picked up one of these balls and 574 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: threw it back to him the other day. Yeah, I 575 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 2: love it. 576 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: A bit more innovation from the Aussies. That's good to see. Spin, 577 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: as you touched on, is going to be a massive 578 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: factor in this tournament. Adam Zampa will of course be 579 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: front and center. How else do you see spin coming 580 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: into the equation for this Aussie side. I mean, they've 581 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: got Matt Cuoneman in the squad, they'veelt Cooper Connelly, They've 582 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: of course got Glenn Maxwell there. So how do you 583 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: think it's going to play out? And especially in Sri 584 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: Lanka where maybe we're expecting pictures to turn a bit 585 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: more than in India. 586 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 2: It seems like they'll line up with the two spinners, 587 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: whether that's Connolly or Ceronell or not quite sure yet. 588 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: I've got a feeling Cuonerman might get the nine for 589 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: this first game, but they've also got obviously Glenn Maxwell 590 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: in the side, so you can expect twelve waves of 591 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: spin and then two quicks and potentially Stoliness and Cameron 592 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: Green to fill in the rest of the paceovers. So 593 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: it definitely looks like spin's play a huge role in 594 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 2: that first Group B match which Australia is in that group, 595 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: which was at this ground as well, that Australia will 596 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 2: play Ireland. That we saw twenty five of the forty 597 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: zeros bold. We saw twenty five of the forty overs 598 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 2: bold by spinners, which was thirteen in the Island bowlings 599 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: and then twelve in the Sri Lankan bowlings. So already 600 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: you can see the role that spin is playing, particularly 601 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: in the Sri Lanka matches. 602 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and any other scored updates from the adsis 603 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: we know that we've had Hazewood and come and initially 604 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: named and now come out they've been replaced. Well, actually 605 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: only one of them has been replaced. Can you explain 606 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: what's happened there? 607 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we haven't had a replacement name for Hazewood yet, 608 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 2: so technically still in the Australian squad even though the 609 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: oddies have said is not going to be taking part 610 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: in the tournament. That just gives them a little bit 611 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 2: of flexibility as to who they name is that replacement, 612 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 2: because perhaps they're not quite sure what type of player 613 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: going to need because under ICC tournament guidelines, once you 614 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: replace a player, they can't come back into the squad. 615 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 2: So say, for instance, Australia had a fifteen man squad 616 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 2: and then Josh inglyss Is, the sole Wike keeper, got injured. 617 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: If they replaced English with a Wike keeper in the squad, 618 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: English then couldn't come back into the squad for a 619 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: short term injury, so it effectively leaves them without their 620 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: best keep, even if he was only going to miss 621 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 2: a couple of games. So it just gives them that 622 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: flexibility to decide a bit later on what type of 623 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 2: player they might need. They might be able to get 624 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 2: through this Sri Lanka leg where they play their first 625 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 2: four matches and decide, oh, we need another fast bowler 626 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: or we need another batter for our Super eight matches 627 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: in India. So yeah, it just gives them that little 628 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 2: bit of flexibility to call on a player that they 629 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: might not need right now, but they might need later 630 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: in the tournament. So of course they've also got Sean 631 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: Abbott here, so if they need a fast bowler quickly, 632 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: they can also put him straight into the squad. 633 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: Right, So Ben Dorshis was Pat Cummens's replacement, and Josh 634 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: Hazwood hasn't been replaced, but Sean Abbott is there as 635 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: a traveling reserve just in case. 636 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: That's right, correct, Yeah, that's correct. So, yeah, he's traveling 637 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: with the group, but he's the sixteenth player who's not 638 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: officially part of the squad. But yeah, he's on standby 639 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: if they need someone quickly. 640 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: And Joshinguss was very diplomatic about Glenn Maxwell's keeping ability 641 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: in that chat that we just heard. George Bailey did 642 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: nominate Maxwell as the backup keeper in case of disaster 643 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: in this tournament. You've watched a bit of MAXI with 644 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: the gloves at a few of those training sessions. What have 645 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: you picked up and do you think he's got what 646 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: it takes. 647 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: I'm not sure, having not seen it in a game. 648 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure based on his ability he could do anything 649 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: he puts his mind to. George Bailey has sort of 650 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: said that he was a wicked keeper in his younger days, 651 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: but I don't think he's done it for maybe ten 652 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: odd years. But we did see him practicing. He's wik 653 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: keeping mostly up to the stunts, which is what Joshingliss 654 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 2: said would be. Maybe he's a little bit of a 655 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: dicey area, but yeah, it certainly seems that way that 656 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 2: if English hurts a finger or something on the morning 657 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: of a match, that Maxwell would be the one to 658 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 2: take the gloves if English couldn't play, So certainly seems 659 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: like they're looking at that option. 660 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: That would be incredible scenes, wouldn't it, And then of 661 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: course that would impact Australia's bowling attack and everything would 662 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: be out of whack. So let's hope for the best 663 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: for Josh Ingles's hands and fingers throughout this tournament. Jack Ireland, 664 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: what can we expect from the Irish Australia and play 665 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: this team very much, but they're very much a team 666 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: that always seems to hold their own, especially these sort 667 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: of tournaments. 668 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: They do. Yeah, well, if you look at their match 669 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: up the other day against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka the 670 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 2: eighth twenty side and island of the eleventh, so they're 671 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 2: actually not that far apart in terms of their world 672 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: ranking and just know their general ability, So I think 673 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: you can expect Ireland to push Australia, especially in these 674 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 2: conditions where the scores of lava spin plays a big part. 675 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 2: So they've got as I said, they bowled thirteen O 676 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: was a spin. They've got bowlers who are experienced in 677 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 2: these conditions. You know that the lower rank nations generally 678 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 2: play a lot more on diceier pitches that are slow 679 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: and low and don't offer as much pace as what 680 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: Australia would usually play on, so this brings them back 681 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 2: into the contest a lot more. They've got Matthew Humphreys 682 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: who took the new ball the other day, and then 683 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: they've got a lot of bowling all rounders in there 684 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: as well. So Curtis Camfor didn't bowl against Sri Lanka, 685 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: but he can bowl. He bats in the middle order. 686 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: Those bowling all around, fast bowling all arounders who can 687 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: compliment the spinners that they've got in Humphreys, George Dockrelin 688 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: and Delaney. So yeah, they've got a lot of bowling 689 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 2: options there in that side, so they can pick and 690 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 2: choose who they want to throw the ball to depending 691 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: on how they're going against Australia's powerful batting line. 692 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: Dockrell he's one of my favorites. I remember playing with 693 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: him on a Cricket Captain game back in twenty twelve 694 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: or something like that. He's been around the county, seen 695 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: a long long time and he's been a great servant 696 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: of Irish cricket as well, So watch out for left 697 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: arm of George Dockel. Also a big fan of Harry Tector. 698 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: I haven't seen a lot of him live, but his 699 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: scores across his fledgling career so far i've been pretty 700 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 1: impressive and he got forty in that match against Sri Lanka. 701 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: So of course he's coming in behind Paul Stirling, who 702 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: is one of the greats Odiei's wise and also Irish wise, 703 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: isn't he. 704 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been around forever. He's had a lot of 705 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 2: success on the county and he's getting gigs across the 706 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: world now too in those franchise competitions, just playing the 707 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 2: same way as he always has. It's interesting that Josh 708 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 2: Little didn't get a game in their first match. Is 709 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 2: someone who's played in the IPL left armor bowls, you know, 710 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 2: some good pace, so if he's not getting a game 711 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 2: in their side. They definitely got a lot of depth 712 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 2: in their squad and a lot of stability too. So 713 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: nine of the squad actually played in the last match 714 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 2: they did. They played it's Australia, which is back in 715 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two World Cup in Brisbane. 716 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: So it's amazing. 717 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 2: But that was the only time they've played Australia in 718 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 2: the last decade, so yeah, Australia is not really that 719 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 2: familiar with playing as Island, so it could be a 720 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 2: bit of testing out each other in the first few 721 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 2: hours of tomorrow's match. 722 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing. They've been able to keep that squad together 723 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: so well since four years ago. I remember, Yeah, Josh 724 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: Little had a very good tournament. 725 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 2: And they beat England that tournament as well, didn't they. Yeah, 726 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: I think they did at the MCG was it. That's 727 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 2: a rain effective match. So yeah, they've got the They've 728 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 2: had a history of upsetting the big nations, haven't they. 729 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 2: So it's just a matter of time in this tournament 730 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 2: you'd suspect and hopefully for Australia it's not them. That's 731 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 2: on the end of it. 732 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 3: Now. 733 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: The Tea Turning World Cup, formerly known as the World 734 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: T twenty has been a tournament that's brought us lots 735 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: of highs, lots of lows, and lots of memorable moments. 736 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Jack and On this episode, I wanted to put out 737 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: the question to both you and our listeners, what are 738 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: the best individual T twenty World Cup performances that we've 739 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: seen going all the way back to two thousand and seven. 740 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: If you want to get in your answers, jump onto 741 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: the Cricket dot Com today you Instagram page.

Next time we 745 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: catch up with Jack and so, who immediately comes to 746 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: mind Jack when we think about the best performances in 747 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: this tournament. 748 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 2: Well, the first one for me was obviously you've right 749 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 2: seeing six to six's way back in the first World Cup. 750 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 2: It's hard to go past. 751 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: That one with the bowler being of course. 752 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 2: With Stuart broad wasn't that six sixers so very young? 753 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 2: Stuart Broader, He's come a long way since then. I 754 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 2: mean some of the other ones from an Australian perspective, 755 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: You've got Mike Hussey in twenty ten against Pakistan single 756 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 2: handedly getting Australia over the line semi final. A couple 757 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 2: of years later Carlos Braathwaite who hit four sixers in 758 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: the last over to win the World Cup final. So 759 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 2: those are two that stand out. I guess Another one 760 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: for me from more recently, I guess is the title 761 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 2: that Australia won. A lot of people talking about Mitch 762 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 2: Marsh's seventy seven in the final, but I actually look 763 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 2: back to that semi final where Marcus Denis and Matthew 764 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 2: Wake got Australia over the line. They were dead and buried. 765 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 2: I remember watching that live thinking, you know, it's not 766 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 2: necessarily something you would see Australia ever do be able 767 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 2: to pull off a run chase where they needed I 768 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 2: must have needed twenty runs per over in the last 769 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 2: three or something like that and they were able to 770 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 2: pull it off. So that's a strong memory for me. 771 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 2: And then the last one, I thought of Joshua just 772 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 2: rolling through them here for you, so feel free to 773 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 2: jump in whenever you like. The last one is that's 774 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: that catch of Surakumada in the two thousand and final 775 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 2: in so South Africa needed sixteen off six. David Miller 776 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 2: was set and you would have backed him in had 777 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 2: that ball gone over the rope for six. But you know, 778 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 2: like the catches that we see Glenn Maxwell doing so 779 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 2: many players nowadays, he was able to jump over the 780 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 2: line while flicking it back in and complete the catch 781 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 2: and win India the title. 782 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: Now there was a bit of controversy around that catch too, 783 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: wasn't there because the padded rope had moved from where 784 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: it was initially placed and it looked like his foot 785 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: was actually standing where that rope used to be. Should 786 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: it have been given out Jack? Or was the right 787 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: call made in the end? 788 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 3: Well? 789 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 2: Can we play the field as it lies? Can't you? 790 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: I don't think you would have necessarily been looking at 791 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 2: where the shadow of the rope was used to be, 792 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, I guess right. Colors made at the time, 793 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 2: and India the World Cup champions, so fair play. 794 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: Well, talking about great catches, it takes me back to 795 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: the Glenn Phillips catch against Astraya at the SCG in 796 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Superman. He was diving, it felt like 797 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: he was in the air for ages pulled off a 798 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: full stretcher. Hard to go past that one and on 799 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: the breathway remember the name innings, which of course we 800 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: all remember. As you said, he hit four sixes to 801 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: win the game off Ben Stokes and finished with thirty 802 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: four off ten balls. But I was just looking at 803 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: the scorecud I didn't realize he actually took three for 804 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,919 Speaker 1: twenty three in the first innings, so he's done it 805 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 1: with ball and bad. Of course the wickets they're forgotten 806 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: because the sixers were just so impressive. But yeah, that's 807 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: one thing that really stood out to me and one 808 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 1: thing I totally forgot about. 809 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 2: It's a bit like Shahida Fridi back in two thousand 810 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 2: and nine as well. He hit he hit fifty four 811 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 2: off thirty four against South Africa and that's semi final. 812 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 2: But then he also took two wickets as well, So 813 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 2: you talk about wickets being forgotten, it's kind of like, yeah, 814 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 2: all round performances like that, it's so crucial in T 815 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 2: twenty games, especially when you got the likes of Australia 816 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 2: and Ireland stacking their team with all rounders. 817 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: And in terms of the best well let's give the 818 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: bowlers some love. I had to look through the best 819 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: individual performances and Rangina Harath took five wickets for three 820 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: runs in three and a half overs against New Zealand 821 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. That must have been a very low, 822 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: slow turning chattergram wicket there in Bangladesh. 823 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: I can't I remember that one, but I remember that 824 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 2: World Cup for the fact that Australia picked Brad Hodge 825 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 2: and Brad hold In there.
