Should women play 176 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,239 Speaker 1: five sets of tennis? 177 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: Yes, I feel like we've spoken about this before recently 178 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: or in the. 179 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: Last lifetime of the podcasty years we've. 180 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: Been doing this, And yeah, I understand obviously for those 181 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: you know, the little explainer the men who played best 182 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: of three sets all year except for the four Majors. 183 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: They get to the four Majors and the men played 184 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: best to five. The women play best of three all 185 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: year and including the Majors. There's always been that question around, 186 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 3: if we're talking about, you know, being equal, why are 187 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: the men playing longer? 188 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: And it's a lot of. 189 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: The time it's fallen back on scheduling because sometimes those 190 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: best of five matches can take Oh my god, those 191 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: two men's semi finals, ridiculous. 192 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: Little segue. Women. 193 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 3: There was an amazing women's chair umpire. I shouldn't know 194 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: her name, but she did the men's semi final between. 195 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: The first one and second. 196 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 3: The second one, yeah, sorry, the first one and five 197 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: hours and something went for where. 198 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: Do you go to the toilet? 199 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: Do they ever? Did she get off the chair? Jo? 200 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: I think if the if the players go for a 201 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 3: toilet break, then you'd obviously use that opportunity. 202 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: But they didn't. Atros had the injury time out. 203 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: But did you have their outbreaks though? Would you know? 204 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: She stayed in her chair the whole time? 205 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: Look, I wasn't keeping it that closer to It's a 206 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 2: five and a half hour shift with no break. 207 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: It's a long time because it's quite funny between sets 208 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: how the crowd just stands up because I needed to 209 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: stand up. 210 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh god, how's your back? 211 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: It was okay, good. It was a long time sitting. 212 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: The first time I started to feel on the semis 213 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: nine in game in match two, I was a bit 214 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: like gotta move, I gotta move, gotta move. 215 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: So yes, back to. 216 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: The discussion, I think it makes sense to me a 217 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: lot of those early round matches a kind of foregone conclusions. 218 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: You're talking about higher ranked opponents versus lesser ranked opponents. 219 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: I think men and women should play best of three 220 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: sets up to the quarters, and then once we get 221 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: to the quarters, when you've got the best of the 222 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 3: best playing each other, men and women both play best 223 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: of five. 224 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: And I would like to reiterate women's bodies are capable 225 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: of playing sport for a long period of time. 226 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: Would you love another set between sabal Anca? 227 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: And for sure, absolutely keep on going. Like women break 228 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: records for both genders in ultra marathons all the time. 229 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: They are not weak and feeble. 230 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: Yes, endurance athletes. 231 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, So Craig Tyler, if you want to, I mean, 232 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 3: you've obviously already been listening to the podcast because we've 233 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 3: spoken about this before. 234 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to. 235 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 3: Reiterate we feel strongly about best of three up to quarters, 236 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: best of five from then on for everyone. 237 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. So yeah. Tyler said that the 238 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: women may be asked to play five set matches from 239 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: the quarterfinals onwards out the Australian Open as soon as 240 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: next year, but only with the blessing of the competitors themselves. 241 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: So we probably should again rediterate that we are armchair 242 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: experts here. You're not elite tennis players, fairly experts. 243 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: From it. My wife is all elita eliti tennis player. 244 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: She agrees though, well that counts with something surely, And yeah, 245 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: Tyler said, all the research shows interest grows as the 246 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: match goes on. Grand slams can propose rules that make 247 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: them different from each other. In the twenty and twenty 248 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: tens and mayors had different rules for how to end match, 249 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: from long sets to tie breaks at different schoorelines. So 250 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: I think Ao could really lead the way in this 251 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: space and then I would be surprised if it was 252 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: successful if the other mayors didn't follow suit. 253 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely agree, And it's one of those things too. You 254 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 3: often how often do you see in a tennis match 255 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: the first set just going by, Oh yeah in a 256 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: heartbeat and yeah someone started slow, and all of a 257 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 3: sudden they one set down. When it's best of three, 258 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: it's a big mountain to climb. 259 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Singapore seven's a bit of Rugby News. The Black 260 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: Ferns boo, what a rollercoaster I know to the Singapore 261 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: Sevens title with thirty six to seven win over Australia 262 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: in the final. The Izi side came into the final 263 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: in top form after excuse me, delivering crushing defeats DA Fiji, Japan, 264 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the USA and Canada along the way, with debutante Mayer 265 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: Stewart scoring three tries on debut. Go listen to an 266 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: episode in the pod. She's a proper character. 267 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: She's a proper character. 268 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: Test to that, can't you? 269 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: Yes? 270 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: But it was New Zealand who were firing from the kickoff, 271 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: with Jasmine Felix Hotham scoring their first try to start 272 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: an onslaught of points for the key. Felix Otham finished 273 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: with a double, joined by Player of the match Georgia 274 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: Miller with another world class showing how many times has 275 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: she not been playing of the match in a final. 276 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: Georgia Miller I will say that she is the best 277 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 3: women's ubby player in the world right now. 278 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: She is exceptional. 279 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: Sophie de Goody, yeah, is definitely up there. But Georgia 280 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 3: Miller for. 281 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: Me, saying Georgia Miller across sevens and fifteen just in general. Yeah. Wow. 282 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: I think one of the things that Mayer playing that 283 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 3: for her first sevens tournament over the weekend showed me 284 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: is that footy players are footy players. 285 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: I like that. Sorry, a bit of context for people 286 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: don't know. Maya Stewart Wallaroo winger for the New Southwes wartas. 287 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, a very elite fifteens player for a number of 288 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: years now. She's actually holds the record for the most 289 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: tries for the Wallarooes. It was her first time in 290 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: the sevens at that level. She obviously played sevens a 291 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: bit across her career, but yeah, it really just highlighted 292 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 3: to me that footy players. 293 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: Good footy plays. 294 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 3: A good footy players, no matter where you put them. 295 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 3: I like that, and Georgia Miller is one of them. Obviously, 296 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: her World Cup in England was cruel by injury. She 297 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 3: had that thumb injury. Yes, but she is elite and 298 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: so I would just say to anyone that wants to 299 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: play rugby, you should get into Irish dancing. 300 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: That's not what I expected you to say, George. 301 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: And Miller apparently is also an elite Highland dancer. 302 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: Oh I knows why. She's so good at moving her hiss, 303 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: she's so hard to tackle. 304 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: Put the kilt on. That's great love that in. 305 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 3: Do we have to talk about this one? Yes, here's 306 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: the football news overseas. Football Matilda star Mary Fowler this 307 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 3: was the one positive out of this match. Returned to 308 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: football after a nine and a half month ACL injury 309 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 3: as Manchester City thump Chelsea five to one in the 310 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: Women's Super Leg. 311 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: That's brutal. It was a bit unheard of. 312 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 3: I haven't watched the game. It was at one p 313 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: thirty this morning, but I will not watch the whole game. 314 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: I watched the mini and deal with that. Fowler came 315 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 3: on as a substitute in the seventy fifth minute at 316 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 3: the Head Stadium on Sunday morning, in her first game 317 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: since April twenty twenty five, and just in time for 318 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: hopes of securing a spot in the Matilda's Agent Cup squad. 319 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: Surely, surely she will make it back. 320 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 321 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: City were just basically way too good. 322 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 3: We pulled one back with about twenty five to play, 323 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: but it was man City's thirteenth win in a row 324 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: and it moves them twelve points clear of the reigning 325 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: WSL Champions as in Chelsea and eleven ahead of second 326 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 3: place Manchester United. So I think the WSL race is over. 327 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 3: City have definitely a hand or two on the trophy. 328 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: There. 329 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: What happened with Chelsea having how many games? Did they 330 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: go undefeated? Yeah? 331 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: And then we it just the wheels fell off? 332 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? Was there many anything that happened? Do you think 333 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: or it's just I don't know. 334 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: It's been interesting that, as always happens when a team 335 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: starts losing, the coaches coppying it. So Aposta as bomb 336 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: Pasta has been copying or ribbing about the shape that 337 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 3: she's playing. I mean, we've got the Chelsea have the 338 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: players stacked with world class players, but it's just not clicking. 339 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: I mean there's still a chance in the Champions League. 340 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: If they win the Champions League and they win the 341 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 3: League Cup, I think some bomb Pastor will survive. But yeah, 342 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: it's just and look, we're Chelsea are only losing to 343 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: teams like City and like the good teams and take 344 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: nothing away from City. And also I'm so happy that 345 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 3: Mary Fowler's back. 346 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: Well done to Mary Fowler. Can we talk about Trinity 347 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: Rodman doing her sally with em ha r loved it. 348 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 3: And I think back to that point when you talk 349 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: about coaches and managers. Emma Hayes was such a treasure 350 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: at Chelsea. Everyone loved her. It was always going to 351 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: be hard to replace her. Correct, So, yeah, is so 352 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 3: good making a dance. 353 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: So good and she just like I love that, she 354 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: really leaned into it, like they both like they were 355 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: having so much fun. I was so I enjoyed that 356 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: a lot. 357 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 3: In the rest of the scores at WSL games this week, 358 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: Manchester United beat Liverpool three one to stay in touch 359 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: with the top two. Alana Kennedy's London City Linus has 360 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: defeated Brighton two one, Claire Hunt Spurs beat Katrina go 361 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 3: west Ham two to one, and Claire Wheeler was in 362 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 3: action as Everton beat Aston Villa to one. 363 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: In the Champs Cup. Arsenal have claimed the biggest prize 364 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: in women's club football history by beating Corinthians three to 365 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: two after extra time to win the inaugural FIFA Women's 366 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: Champions Cup. The Gunners were heavy favorites to secure the 367 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: trophy that pitted the winners of the champions of six 368 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: continents together in competition for the first time, and looked 369 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: to be living up to the hype when Olivia Smith 370 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: scored their opener in the fifteenth minute, but the Brazilian 371 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: champions gave their fans an immediate lift six minutes later 372 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: when forty year old captain Gabby Zanotti headed in a corner. 373 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: AGARD's been forty and playing elite sports, still. 374 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: And heading in a corner, I means she's got some 375 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: hops still, I reckon how good. The Gunners were seconds 376 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: away from a two to one Victorian regulation time, but 377 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Vic Albuquerque converted a ninety six minute penalty as the 378 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: South American champions took the game into extra time. Who 379 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: else than one of our own Matilda's to score the 380 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: match winner. Supers arup Caitlin Ford struck the winner and 381 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: the one hundred and fourth minute, after beating goalkeeper Lely 382 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: at her near post to break the Corinthians' hearts. I 383 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: can't help but think people in the Bible were playing 384 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: in this football match. 385 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, flashbacks, aren't you. 386 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: The European champions collected a US two point three million 387 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: dollar payout, which is equivalent to about three point three 388 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Aussie That's nearly four times the amount Arsenal received for 389 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: winning last season's Champions League Naice. 390 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 3: In cricket, Sophie Molinu, has this week been named Australia's 391 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 3: new cricket captain across all forms of the game. 392 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: Felt a bit left field. I think. 393 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 3: I know she's had some injury challenges, so she hasn't 394 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: all not lately but in previous years, so she hasn't 395 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: played a lot. I think when her leadership of her 396 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: BBL team was probably yes, a distinguishing factor for her. 397 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think she's probably she's obviously a very 398 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: consistent name across Australian cricket. But you kind of think 399 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: a lot about the names that we hear thrown around 400 00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: all the time. 401 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: Like I was like Elise Perry when Alisa Healy stood down. Yeah, 402 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 3: I was like, well Perry surely, but sometimes those players 403 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 3: don't necessarily want to be the captain well. 404 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: And also like I think it is it a decision again, 405 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,959 Speaker 1: this is without knowing the sanctum. Is it a decision 406 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: where Elise Perry if it was ten years ago might. 407 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: Have well, Sophie Molinu is twenty eight years old. 408 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: Just not that old really, Like, yes, it's not eighteen 409 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: years old. 410 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: True, she's a spin bowling all round her, and she'll 411 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 3: officially take the reins of the T twenty side when 412 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 3: Australia hosts India in an all format series next month, 413 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 3: before assuming the ODI and Test captain's fristas two of 414 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 3: the Caribbean in March. She hails from the country town 415 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 3: of Bansdale, bans That's how you say that, isn't it. 416 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 2: Bansdale, Banstour. 417 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: I'd love to have a beer in Bandstow. 418 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 3: Kirsty will probably tell me I'm wrong, but I reckon 419 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 3: it's Bansdale Barns far is. 420 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: In Victoria anyway, if no wants to go there and 421 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 2: have a beer with Clo. She's played fifty. 422 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 3: Matches Frustra since debut age twenty in twenty eighteen, thanks 423 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 3: to a run of serious sholder, knee and foot injuries 424 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 3: that have interrupted her career. 425 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: Which is probably another note is again because we don't 426 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: know these players. We know some of them, we don't 427 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: know them all personally. You might have had a lot 428 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: of injuries in your career, but you might be the 429 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: most the best leader in the environment. Can you tell 430 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: I've had a large weekend of activities? 431 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: No, I agree. 432 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: That makes it sound like I'm hungover. I'd like to 433 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: clarify I'm not. Once again, I've been working very hard. 434 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 3: Everyone says that sleep depervation is like feeling hungover, Oh 435 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 3: for sure. So anyway, batched the cricket in the women's too. 436 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: In the Women's Premier League India, the Deli Capitals have 437 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: survived a late scare against the UP Warriors to qualify 438 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: for the WPL playoffs. The UP Warriors were restricted to 439 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: eight f one hundred and twenty two as Oussie captain 440 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: Meg Lanning was dismissed for a duck. Tippi Shama top 441 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 3: scoring for the Warriors with twenty four off nineteen balls. 442 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 3: When it came to the second innings of Deli Capitals 443 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 3: looked in control, needing just forty eight runs of forty balls. 444 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 3: I lost four wickets in five over. It's to be 445 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 3: five for one hundred and one and their run chase 446 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 3: was looking pretty precarious. But Jemima Rodriguez maintained her calm 447 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 3: and ensured that she finished a job that Marazan cap 448 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: started and Laura Wolvart almost completed. She had a captain's 449 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 3: knock of thirty five not out, making DC the only 450 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 3: team to make the playoffs in all four seasons. The 451 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 3: Deli Captains will now face Ashgardners at Guzerat Giants in 452 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: the semifinal, with the winner to play against Georgia vol 453 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 3: and Grace Harris's Royal challenges bengalou In at the final 454 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 3: this weekend. 455 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: Just one after winning her first Iron Series race, Marichi 456 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: daus Tian Massi has won her first Shore and Partner's 457 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: Iron Series title.

Lucy Derbyshire finished in second and Emily 460 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: Doyle rounded out the podium in third. 461 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 3: In some basketball news, there's just one regular season round 462 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 3: of the WM bill remaining. 463 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: While that came round fast. 464 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 3: I feel like the WNBL basketball in general as well. 465 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: When it's played over Christmas, it just kind of disappears. 466 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 2: Totally, doesn't it. 467 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 3: The Perth Links have all but secured home court advantage 468 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: after defeating fellow championship contenders the Benigo Spirit eighty eight 469 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: to sixty four.
