How good layups and netball? 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: I love them. It was clutch, it was finger roll 44 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 3: was beautiful. 45 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: I also don't understand very well, how you can actually 46 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: defend that, like, because you can't move right three feet. 47 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: I don't know how because you couldn't block it. 48 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: Netball fans out there, keepers and shooters, throw us a 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: message and let us know we haven't played enough netball 50 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 2: in this in this family. 51 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: We haven't. But it was clutch. 52 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: It was Diamond's opening Test against England and was played 53 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: in front of a loud crowd in Newcastle. England leveled 54 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: in the final minute through Eleanor Cardwell, but the ball 55 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: came back down the Aussies end and Wallom secured the 56 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: win fifty five to fifty four with that casual finger roll. 57 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: The proud and gar woman admitted after the match that 58 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: I was relieved to finally get my chance on the court. 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: It's been some of the toughest a few weeks of 60 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: my life. To finally get out there and just play 61 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: in this dress was just really special and it makes 62 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks feel like a blur. I 63 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: just hope that I'm now a role model to the 64 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: young girls and boys coming through a love that you 65 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 2: absolutely are. Game two was on Sunday night in front 66 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: of nearly fifteen thousand fans in Sydney and it was 67 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: a lot more comfortable for the Diamonds. They wrapped up 68 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: the three match series against England with a fifty six 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: forty eight victory and have capped off of Stella twenty 70 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: twenty two, which has included wins in the Quad Series, 71 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: gold of the Common Games and victory in the Constellation Cup. 72 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: It's been a hugely successful twelve months and you know 73 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: surely that on court, and I think the way the 74 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: players have carried themselves off court, you know, will attract 75 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: some commercial partnership opportunities. 76 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: Hold the phone, I'm excited.

I couldn't believe it.

Netball Australia's 109 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: CEO Kelly Ryan said the deal was unlike any that 110 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: we've done before and was very different to the support 111 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: offered from the mining company, so they cannot be compared 112 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. The two very very 113 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: different partnership is pretty strong on that, and this partnership 114 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: values the content that we offer, so everything from Pathway 115 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: events through to the elite competition tick. We're just nodding 116 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: heads over here. Premier Daniel Andrews said the deal was 117 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: a coup for the state's tourism campaign. Andrews stated, we 118 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: are the sporting and major events capital of our nation. 119 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: To be able to have the world's very best netball 120 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: team wearing our logo projecting all that we offer to 121 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: the world and the rest of the country is absolutely fantastic. 122 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: I can feel your fury. 123 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 3: It's not fury. 124 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: I'm actually I think I might have got the quite 125 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: wrong because normally Victorians refer to their state as the 126 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: sporting and major events were hapital of the galaxy. They 127 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: really really yeah, all honesty though, great move by Daniel 128 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: Andrews and visit Victoria. 129 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: Such a great result, isn't it. And interesting to see 130 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: a lot of our followers reactions on social media, A 131 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: lot of people trying to say you don't actually have 132 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: to compromise your morals for money, and there was a 133 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: lot of fears around the future of netball and the 134 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: financial situation. But this is a really great result for 135 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: the sport. 136 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: A deserved outcome. 137 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: Like we just read the list of achievements those players 138 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: have achieved this year. Yeah, they deserve all of that 139 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 2: and more. In tennis last week, I feel a bit 140 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: punked by this. 141 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: Do you think so? She just staying relevant? 142 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: Serena Williams dangled a not retired carrot in front of 143 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 2: us all at a conference in San Francisco while promoting 144 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 2: her investment company, Serena Ventures. The words the tennis goat 145 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: used were I am not tired. The chances of her 146 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: return are very high. You can come to my house. 147 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 2: I have a court. 148 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: I think there was an open invite to all of us. 149 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: See fat Christmas party on Serena scor I'll bring the punch. 150 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: The comments come as a surprise given her essay published 151 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: in Vogue that confirmed she was evolving. 152 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: Away from tennis. 153 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: Whether she does pick up the tennis tracket again remains 154 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: to be seen, but there is no doubt the shift 155 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: away from being a professional athlete is difficult for everyone. 156 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: Williams also said I still haven't really thought about retirement. 157 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: But I did wake up the other day and go 158 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: on the court and consider for the first time in 159 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: my life that I'm not playing for a competition, and 160 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: it felt really weird. It was like the first day 161 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: of the rest of my life, and I'm enjoying it, 162 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: but I'm still trying to find that balance. 163 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: Interesting, isn't it. 164 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: I think not uncommon for athletes to question have a 165 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: little bit of identity crisis about who they are once 166 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: they stopped competing. 167 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it had that vibe to me that he was 168 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: a little bit unsure about how retirement felt. But that 169 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: quote from her makes it sound quite likely that she's 170 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: coming back. 171 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 172 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: Look, not sure if she's easing us or you know, 173 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: maybe we should all be rushing to buy Austrain Open 174 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: tickets if you haven't already. It seems unlikely she'll ever 175 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: be back and on the tour week to week, But 176 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: I do think if someone threw a wild. 177 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 3: Card her way from Major that would be pretty cool 178 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: and she could. 179 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: Have another attempt at matching Margaret Court's record of twenty 180 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: four Grand Slam titles. 181 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with that, though, because 182 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't know the amount of preparation and training you 183 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: have to do to play in one tournament is kind 184 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: of the same to play in a whole circuit. 185 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: True, and I think she found that this year, didn't 186 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: she like with her comeback from injury. It definitely took 187 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: her a few tournaments to get to that place where 188 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: she did give everyone a bit of a shake at 189 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: at the American US Open. 190 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: In AFLW. 191 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: The top eight is settled and it is finals time. 192 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: The Brisbane Lines secured the Minor Premiership by the narrowest 193 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: of margins after an eight goals seven fifty five to 194 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: one goal for ten win over Collingwood. Jesse Wardlaw again 195 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: bagged two goals and the pressure from the elite Lions 196 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: midfield strangled any chance the Magpies had of a win. 197 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: On Saturday, the Melbourne Demons needed a substantial win to 198 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: overcome the percentage difference, and they went so close. It's 199 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: pretty crazy after an entire season how close it ended up. 200 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: And the second half in particular pretty gnarly conditions. Yeah, 201 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: they scored that you're about to get there, but they 202 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: scored some big points given wind and rain. Casey fields, 203 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: just casey fields. 204 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: The inaccuracy came back to horn them. So they kicked 205 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: eleven goals thirteen seventy nine to West Coasts zero goals, 206 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: one to one victory. Whoa, I have stuff that sentence up, 207 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: but anyway, you know what I'm trying to get at. 208 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: Pretty much they won by a heap. 209 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: They won by heaps, but they definitely could have kicked 210 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 1: more goals. So they missed out on the minor premiership 211 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: by zero point three. If just one of those behinds 212 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: went through for a major, the Demons would have finished 213 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: on top. What the significance of that is that if 214 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: both the Demons and the Lions progressed to the Grand Final, 215 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: the Lions will host a home Grand Final in Queensland, 216 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: which I would say they probably deserve after their performance 217 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: so far this season. 218 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 2: Shame that they're not at the Gabba though, because of 219 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: the Men's Cricket World Cup T twenty one. That's why 220 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: they're playing out a metricon right, there's some man's sport 221 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: being played in the Gaba. 222 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 3: Men's sport. 223 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: The Mighty GWS Giants finish the season with a win 224 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: go the Giants, which is a fitting way to acknowledge 225 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: Coras Taunton's fiftieth game and the forty sixth and final 226 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: match for the defensive saw Tanya Heatherington, who announced in 227 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: a very emotional well she held it together quite well. 228 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: She started to get a little bit teary and then 229 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: she kind of held it together before the game that 230 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: it would be her last match for the Giants and 231 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: she'd be retiring from the game. She's had a massive 232 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: impact on the club as a whole, in the leadership 233 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: capacity that she's brought with her the Giants. We beat 234 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: the Gold Coast Sun seven goals to forty four to 235 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: four goals eight thirty two and Irish legend Chorus Thaunton 236 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: got the scoring started her goal from outside fifty. It 237 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: was ridiculous. The second she kicked it, I stood up. 238 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: I knew, and sometimes with Corey you just know a 239 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: lot of the time you just know. With her, she 240 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: just sent it. It was amazing. Georgia Gunnett again was 241 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: incredible in the forward line. She kicked three goals from 242 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: fourteen disposals. On Sunday, the Richmond Tigers left it late 243 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: to secure their first finals appearance and a top four 244 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: finish against the North Melbourne Congis. The Tigers were down 245 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: by one point with sixty seconds left on the clock 246 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: and needed a drawer to secure fourth and a double 247 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: chance in the finals. Courtney Waitefield, who's been awesome all 248 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: season for Richmond, kicked towards goal but it dropped just short. 249 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: Was then rushed through for a behind to tie scores 250 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: up at twenty seven apiece, the final score being four 251 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: goals three twenty seven to three goals. 252 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: Nine twenty seven. 253 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: The Kangaroos will rue their accuracy in front of goal, 254 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: but they have qualified for finals and will prove a 255 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: challenging opponent for Geelong next weekend. 256 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 3: I'm calling it now, that's going to be the game 257 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 3: of the weekend that one. I think it's going to 258 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: be a great one. 259 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 2: In WBBL, the return to form of Sydney Six's opener 260 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: Alyssa Healy has reinstated the Sixers at the top of 261 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 2: the WBL table. On Sunday, Heally hammard seventy eight off 262 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: fifty four balls. It was her first score over fifty 263 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: since she struck that amazing one hundred and seventy against 264 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: England in the One Day World Cup Final in early April. 265 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: She combined with fellow opener Susi. 266 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: Bates for one hundred and fifty one run opening stand 267 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 2: that resulted in the Sixers posing posting three for one 268 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty eight, the highest total of the WBL 269 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 2: eight to date. 270 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: I liked that Ryan. 271 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: The Renegades did not start well in their run chase, 272 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: fall into five for thirty eight, but an eighty one 273 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: run stand between Carl Leeson fifty two from thirty two 274 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: and rhianne O'Donnell thirty two off twenty six gave the 275 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: Melbourne team hope of a miracle. It wasn't to be, 276 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: as at least Perry removed O'Donnell with a brilliant overhead 277 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: catch in the fifteenth ever but it was a screamer, 278 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: so she's kind of fielding it cover and it was 279 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: one of those ones you know when you jump and 280 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: you think, oh she's gone to early. 281 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: And she just stayed in the air. So she's a 282 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 3: free full hanger. In fact, AFLW Elise. 283 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: Imagine Elise Perry and Ashbardi playing AFLW. I might give 284 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: him a call. 285 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 3: I can't play for the Giants. 286 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: New signing for GWS more cricket. 287 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Another really cool story this week, The Board of control 288 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: for cricket in India. The BCCI announced on Thursday that 289 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: India's men's and women's national cricket teams will be paid 290 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: the same appearance fee to represent their country. Secretary Jay 291 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,119 Speaker 1: Share said, we're implementing pay equity policy for our contracted 292 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: BCCI women cricketers. The match fee for both men and 293 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: women cricketers will be the same as we move into 294 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: a new era of gender equality in Indian cricket. The 295 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: new structure will see both female and male cricketers paid. 296 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: We've got in rupees, but I'm going to just say 297 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: the converted amount, so I don't say too many numbers. 298 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: There's a lot of numbers, a lot of numbers. 299 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: So twenty eight thousand Australian dollars for test matches, for 300 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: test matches, thank you. I was trying to see what 301 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: that was for about eleven thousand dollars for one day 302 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: internationals and approximately five five hundred dollars for T twenty internationals. 303 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: The bcc I have also committed a fully fledged women's 304 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: Indian Premier League. 305 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: Why have they taken so long to do this a 306 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 3: really great question. It could begin as early as next year. 307 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: There is some serious commercial value in that competition for 308 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: the men's like, it's got so much potential for the women. 309 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: There's a billion people in India and they all love 310 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: a cricket absolutely. 311 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: There still remains a sizable difference in contracts offered to 312 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: India's cricketers, with women currently in the highest retainer bracket 313 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: earning approximately ninety four thousand Australian dollars, followed by fifty 314 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: five thousand four Grade B and eighteen thousand for Grade C. 315 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: In comparison, India's top male players receive one point three 316 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: million Australian dollars, followed by nine hundred and fifty thousand 317 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: for Grade A, five sixty for Grade B and one 318 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand dollars for Grade C. Yeah, let's 319 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: just hope that the introduction of something like the IPL 320 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: for the women can continue to demonstrate the commercial opportunities 321 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: within the women's game and those numbers start to shift and. 322 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 3: It is a new. 323 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: Zealand Cricket did the same sort of thing where they 324 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: announced the same match payments for their men and women 325 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 2: about a couple of months ago. Yes, their contracts their 326 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: retainers are still very far apart, but it is It 327 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: is a really good start and the guarantee of you 328 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: make the team, you know, you know what you're getting 329 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: kind of thing. 330 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 3: Yeah for it. 331 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: Former India women team captain Matthali Raj said it was 332 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: a historic decision the pay equity policy along with the 333 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: WIPL next year, we are ushering into a new era 334 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: for women's cricket in India. Jemima Rodriguez, who is currently 335 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: in Australia playing for the Melbourne Stars in the WBBL 336 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: applauded the announcement and said that the funds will help 337 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: to make women's cricket a realistic profession not just a passion. 338 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: Oh I love that neary Wood to put that on 339 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: a T shirt, she said. I think it's a great, 340 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: great thing that's happened for us and for women's cricket 341 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: in India. It's going to help all of us and 342 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: it shows how much initiative the BCCI has been taking 343 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: to help bridge that gap. It's going to help a 344 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: lot of us because sometimes it's not easy to do this. 345 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: A lot of the players are providing for their family 346 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: and things like that, if you think of it in 347 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: that way, So it's not easy to play cricket and 348 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: do a job providing for four or five members in 349 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: the family. 350 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: And that is a reality obviously in India, especially as 351 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: a woman, you're probably more expected to stay at home 352 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: and fulfill domestic chores and have children and whatnot. But 353 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: if you know a female, young female Indian cricketer, I 354 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: can go out there and say, I guess what, Mom 355 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: and Dad, I'm going to go earn money in and 356 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: look after the family. 357 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: Look Out the rest of the world. 358 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: When all those young Indian girls start to get rewarded. 359 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: I know that I was women's cricket team chasing pretty hard. 360 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 361 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 2: In rugby union, Australian Wallaroos faced off against world number 362 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: one England on Sunday morning in what has to be 363 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 2: said some of the wettest conditions you will ever see. 364 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 3: It was pretty wet. 365 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's bad when as they running out 366 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: you can see the splashes. 367 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I underneath their feet. 368 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: The rain was relentless in the first half and the 369 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: English driving war became an even more brutal weapon in 370 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: those conditions. In stark contrast, the Aussies struggled at line 371 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: out time, losing six of their first eight throws, which 372 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: gifted England just way too much footy. The powerful scrum 373 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 2: was on full display early when the English pack drove 374 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: a five meter scrum over the line to open the 375 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: scoring in the eighth minute. It was a set piece 376 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: clinic for most of the match. There was some hope 377 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: for the Wallaries after they scored what I'm calling drive 378 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 2: the match, maybe tournament. 379 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 3: It was a screamer. 380 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: Exceptional passing between backs and forwards capped off when Emily 381 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: Chancellor slid over in the corner. Also loved r cram 382 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 2: outside of her, pointing to her where the line. 383 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 3: Is my favorite? Amazing, so good, it's their chance. 384 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: There go scoore Ah that try and made the halftime 385 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: score nineteen to five to England. Unfortunately, any momentum from 386 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: that try before halftime was brought to a halt when 387 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: Abby Ward crossed in the forty fourth minute. The second 388 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 2: half sor a team of professional athletes go up a 389 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 2: year while a team of amateurs struggled to. 390 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: Stay with them. That's the reality of it. 391 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: The final score and at forty one to five to 392 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 2: England will now face Canada for a spot in the final. 393 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: After the match, Walleries and AUSSI seven's legend Shannie Williams, 394 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 2: one of your ex Olympic teammates, called on Australian rugby 395 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: union to increase their support for the fifteen's game if 396 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: they had a challenge to top four teams in the world. 397 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 2: She noted that they are obviously playing for their country, 398 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: but they're also working really hard. We've got teachers, physios, 399 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: all of that outside of here. We came into this 400 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: as the underdogs and we're still underdogs within the rugby 401 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 2: Let's just hope that we can find some sponsors out there, 402 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 2: find a bit of money and reward these girls what 403 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 2: they're doing. We're out there sacrificing our bodies, putting bodies 404 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: on the line for each other, but mainly Frustralia. I 405 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 2: love that from Shann's she spoke really well after the game. 406 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 2: I was really proud of her. Coach Jjregonning echoed Chinese 407 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 2: comments and called on more investment in the domestic competitions 408 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 2: to help strengthen the team. He said, everyone wants to 409 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: emulate what England has done over the past few years, 410 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: but the main thing for us is building a strong 411 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 2: domestic competition to enable more players to be putting their 412 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: hands up for selection come Test time super w has 413 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: been outstanding. But you saw her after the Test series 414 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 2: in May that our players went back to club competitions 415 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: that aren't at the level we need them to be. 416 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,959 Speaker 3: Staging tough competitions. 417 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 2: Throughout the county is going to be important to the 418 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: growth of the international team for sure. 419 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 3: And here's a little case study for you. I love 420 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 3: this comparison. 421 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: Liz part two became the most cap Waller at the 422 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: World Cup when she played her twenty ninth Test match 423 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: on Sunday. English captain Sarah Hunter became the most capped 424 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: player for England across both the men's and women's game 425 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: when she played her one hundred. 426 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: And thirty eighth Test match. 427 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: More tests, more investment, more support, and I'm telling you 428 00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: what's his space. 429 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 3: Waller is will be. 430 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: World champions heard here first twenty twenty nine, maybe twenty 431 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: twenty five, twenty twenty nine, it's at home. 432 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 3: Great done, very ton, I'll see there. 433 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: In soccer, Sam Kerr is a goal scoring machine. Last 434 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: week she scored four times in Chelsea's eight nil win 435 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: over Albanian side Kaus Vlasnia in their Champions League group match. 436 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: After her fourth goal, Kert unleashed her signature backflip celebration 437 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: which we're all hoping to see in two weeks time 438 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: when the Matilda's play friendlies against Sweden at Amy Park 439 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: on November twelfth, bought in Capital of the Galaxy Galaxying 440 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: and Thailand at Central Coast Stadium three days later. Kerr 441 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: followed up that performance with a game ceiling goal in 442 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: Chelsea's three to one win over Aston Villa in the 443 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: Super League. Elsewhere, Hailey Razzo was on the score sheet 444 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: for Manchester City in their two to one win over Liverpool. 445 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Razzo came on as a substitute and made the impact 446 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: her coach would have been looking for when she converted 447 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: a rebound for her own shot after being set up 448 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: by Jamaica's Bunny Shaw. City coach Gareth Taylor paid credit 449 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: to Razo at full time, saying we should have put 450 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: the game to bed a lot quicker than we did, 451 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: but it was great that Haley came on and made 452 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: an impact within six minutes. 453 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: Matilda's doing good things overseas and it's great timing. Let's 454 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 3: take a look at the key story. 455 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 2: In some more soccer so also in the UK, the 456 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: Manchester City women's team confirmed they will wear their burgundy 457 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: away shorts with their home shirt for the rest of 458 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: the current campaign. The decision to remove white shorts from 459 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: their home uniform came after discussions with players and the club, 460 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: who said that the reasoning was to help players perform 461 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: at their highest level while on their periods. In a 462 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: joint statement, the club and kit manufactured Puma and that 463 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: City would find an alternative color scheme starting from next season. 464 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: The statement read, Puma and Manchester City take pride in 465 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: working closely with our players to support them and create 466 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: the best possile environment for them to feel comfortable and 467 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 2: perform at their highest level. As a result of player 468 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: feedback and the underlying topic of women wanting to move 469 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 2: away from wearing white shorts while on their periods, we 470 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: have decided to implement changes to the products we offer 471 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 2: to our female players. Starting from the twenty three to 472 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: twenty four season, we will not be providing white shorts 473 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 2: to our female athletes. We will always provide an alternaty 474 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: for our home, away and third kits to solve the 475 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: issue highlighted by women across all sports. 476 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: I love that it's a really proactive response to the situation. 477 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm calling for it to happen across all sports, 478 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: but we'll get to that. There has been a lot 479 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: of talk in the media about the suitability of white 480 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: shorts for female athletes, with studies showing that being uncomfortable 481 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: in a uniform is a key reason for young women 482 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: stopping playing sport altogether. The English soccer team were an 483 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: all white kit during last summer's successful European Championship campaign, 484 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: and forward Beth Meat revealed they had given their feedback 485 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: to Nike regarding their concerns over wearing white shorts. The 486 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: Arsenal forward said, that is something we have fed to Nike. 487 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: I think hopefully they're going to change that. It is 488 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: very nice to have an all white kid, but sometimes 489 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: it's not practical when it's that time of the month. 490 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: We've discussed it as a team and we have fed 491 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: that back to Nike.
