1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Welcome it to the RAP, a weekly podcast covering women's

00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: What have we got around the grounds this week?

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: As the prelim finals are set in their AFLW the

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: Paramatilda's defeat the USA for the first time ever and

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: Whoopie Goldberg gives us all of what we wants.

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: Yes she does. For the key story, we'll discuss the

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: battle to bring together the Afghanistan women's eleven cricket team

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: to play a T twenty match in Melbourne in January.

00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: to you from Nam. You're coming to us from gegal Land,

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: where we're separated today, as I said it says, is

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: in Wallaro's camp. How are you going? Says first morning,

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: You've got a Bronco coming up. How are you feeling? Yeah?

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for telling everyone I've got a

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: bron Go test coming up.

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just really trying to stay high performance

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: at the moment and to myself and gratitude and.

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Know that I've got this.

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 2: I just hate broncos you got this mate, you had

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: got it, I've actually got this.

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds in AFLW. We

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: had two epic semifinals on Saturday. The first was pretty

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: much a clinic from the Adelaide Crows at Norwood Oval.

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: They were just too classy for the Frio Dockers, looking

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: comfortable throughout their seven goals seven forty nine to one

28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: goal six twelve win. It was pretty hot in Adelaide

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: and the thirty five degree temperatures saw the heat policy

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: put in place and extended breaks were taken. The Crows

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: were impressive with their pressure, locking the ball in their

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: four half for long periods and converting that pressure into goals.

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: And when Freo did manage to drive the ball deep

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: towards their god, they were faced with impressive back line

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: due Zoe Prows and Chelsea Biddle who refused to allow

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: the Dockers' weapons any space. Ebdye Maronov again huge thirty

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: two disposals and Anne Hatchard also huge twenty four disposals.

38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: They were just instrumental in everything that the Crows did.

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: The Crows now faced their nemesis Brisbane in another prelim

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: final lines, being one of the only teams who have

41
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the wood of Adelaide in at recent times. Adelaide coach

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Clark said, they've got us a few times, but

43
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: we've been around the mark. The good news is we

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: don't have to play a hell of a lot better.

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: I believe. The second semifinal was an absolute thriller. Port

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: Adelaide were down by twenty two points at three quarter

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: a time and came from the clouds to break Awthorne

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Hearts by one point in their seven goals eight point

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: fifty to six goals thirteen forty nine victory. It was

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the biggest final quarter comeback in afl W history. Port

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: entered the final term known they had nothing to lose

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: and Jemmahdden was exceptional with thirteen disposals and two goals.

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: The Hawks just couldn't match the speed and unpredictability of

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: the Powers ball movement and at the pace that they

55
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: showed on their wings. The Hawks will rue their inability

56
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: to convert their inside fifties. They finished the game with

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: fifty one compared to the Powers twenty nine. Port Adelaide

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: coach Lauren Arnell reflected on the rough start the Power

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: have had in the AFLW winning one game in its

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: first season n two and its second, saying that's the

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: beauty of sport. You go through some pretty tough stuff

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: and once you go through some hard times and learn

63
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: the lessons that you need to get on the good end.

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: And it feels like that right now on the other

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: side of the coin. As we said, Hawk's coach Daniel

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Webs has summed it up with one word, telling media

67
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: he and the team were shattered twenty two more inside fifties,

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: four more scoring shots and losing a final. Yeah gutted.

69
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: It's the power of earned themselves a spot in the

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: prelium final against minor premiers North Melbourne next weekend with

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: the Para Matildas.

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: They are in Spain competing in the IFC PF Women's

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: World Cup and are two from two in their pool,

74
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: having defeated the world champion USA team three to one

75
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: on the weekend. It was the first time in the

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: history that they have better at the USA and it

77
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: was the USA side's first ever World Cup defeat. The

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: defending world Chaps scored first, but the Ossies did not

79
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: drop their heads and the goal in the tenth minute

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: to Talia Blanchard leveled the scores one all. Georgia Bakole

81
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: broke the deadlock with an incredible long range strike and

82
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: Aluise Northam got the Paramatilders a third for the day,

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: driving a ball into the bottom corner of the net

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: from a long range to seal the three to one victory.

85
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: The Ossies opened the tournament with a six to zero

86
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: win over Japan and now face Ireland and Denmark to

87
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: complete their full matches. The Para Matildas are Australia is

88
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: a national foot four team for athletes with cerebral palsy,

89
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: acquired brain injury and symptoms of stroke, and they play

90
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: in a minute version of the game using smaller fields

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: and goals, shorter halves, and no OFV sides. They also

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: play five a side, with the game being compared to

93
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: a futsal or indoor network. The Paramidtielders won a seal

94
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: the medal at the twenty twenty two World Cup and

95
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: are looking to go one better in Spain.

96
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: The Para Matildas. In some surfing news, the WSL, the

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 1: World's Surf League, last week announced an expanded women's field

98
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: for the twenty to twenty six Championship Tour, increasing the

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: roster to twenty four surfers, up from eighteen currently. The

100
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: organization said that the increase was driven by the women's

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: performances and with a commitment to supporting the progression. The

102
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: field size increase will provide more opportunities for women to

103
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: compete at the highest level. Under the new format from

104
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, events will include the top fourteen surfers

105
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: from the CT the Championships Tour, and the top seven

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: qualifiers from the Challenger Series, two WSL seasonal wild cards

107
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: and one event wild card. The decision is still to

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: be made about the women's midseason cut will remain at

109
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: just ten, which it will be reduced to in at

110
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five after the seventh tour stop in at

111
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: the eleven event schedule. While the increase is welcome, the

112
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: number of surfers is still less than the thirty six

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: surfers on the men's tour. Fifteen year veteran Ossie Sally,

114
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: if it's given, said in a press release, I couldn't

115
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: be more proud of where the level of women's surfing

116
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: is currently at. Growing the tour is the next logical

117
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: step in that natural progression. All over the world. Women

118
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: are stepping it up every time they hit the water,

119
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: and on tour we're seeing intense heats and fierce rivalries.

120
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: It's what everyone wants to see. I'm so stoked that

121
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: it's happening.

122
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: So are we. The World Cup of Tennis is being

123
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: played in Malanga, Spain. It will be the first time

124
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: in the history that the Billy Jean King Cup Finals

125
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: we played alongside the Davis Cup Finals. The Billy Jean

126
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: King Cup will offer equal prize money to the Davis Cup,

127
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: with the twenty twenty four champions receiving a combined two

128
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 2: point four million US dollars. This year, a record one

129
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven nations entered the competition and we

130
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: are down to the final twelve. The OSSI team, captain

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: by Stam stows Up, features Alotom Nanovich, Olivia Gadeki, Kimberly Barrell,

132
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: Darius Saville and Ellen Perez. Their quarterfinal was against Slovakia,

133
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: who upset the USA in their previous time, and the

134
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: Slovakians again proved too strong for their more fancied appointment.

135
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: Kimbarell and Alatoon Nanovich both lost their single rubbers to

136
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: send the Ossies crashing out of the tournament.

137
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a rough loss. This morning. In some

138
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: football news, here are some tasty crowdstats coming out of football.

139
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Data from two circles published last week show that average

140
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: attendants across the top four European women's soccer leagues increased

141
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: by twenty four during the twenty twenty three twenty twenty

142
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: four season. The year only increase in attendances over some

143
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: of the main competitions were we love starts forty one

144
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: percent in the English WSL, thirty eight percent in the

145
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: French D one Feminine, eleven percent for Spain's Lega F

146
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: and six percent across Germany's Front Bundesliga. Not shockingly and

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: you'll be shocked by this, says, I'm sure you won't be.

148
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: The report stated that attendance continues to grow as clubs

149
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: open the doors to larger stadiums, tapping into iconic venues

150
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: with greater capacities to draw bigger crowds, particularly from men's

151
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: team first club fans and big event attendees. Knock me

152
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: down with a feather. Bigger stadiums, bigger crowds is all right,

153
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: That is some groundbreaking stuff. A perfect example of this

154
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: can be seen in Arsenal's numbers, who recorded an average

155
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: attendance of fifty two thousand fans for games at the

156
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Emirate Stadium compared to the average crowd of three thousand,

157
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: five hundred and ninety five that went to their games

158
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: at Meadow Park in borham Wood. The report point the

159
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: UA for Women's Euros in Switzerland next year as another

160
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: key event which will help continue to drive the attendance

161
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: numbers across the region. Holy Hecker, surely good. Give it

162
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the platform and people will feel it.

163
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: In broadcasting news, we have all seen this and been

164
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: very excited by the news that the US comedian and

165
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: television hosts Whoopy Goldberg.

166
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: Last week, Gobler confirmed that she.

167
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: Would be launching the All Women's Sports Network known as AWSN,

168
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: a new twenty four to seven a global women's sports channel.

169
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: The network will be available in sixty five countries and

170
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: show action from comps such as the af UEFA Women's

171
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: Nations League, the Women's Tennis Association Tour, and the International

172
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: Basket Federation Three by three Women's series.

173
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: Gobleg told Jimmy.

174
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: Fallon on The Tonight Show, ever since I was a

175
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: little kid, I always wanted to play sports.

176
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: My brother could play.

177
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: He played baseball, he played softball, he played basketball, he

178
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: played everything, and they would say, oh, hi, little girl.

179
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: It always pissed me off, pissed us off too, will be.

180
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: We're with you. Whoops? Is whoops a thing? Do we think?

181
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, it's okay. Look, I'm known

182
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: for a pretty ordinary nickname, so carry on backs will

183
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: be And.

184
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: Her quote, she said, so for years, I've been talking

185
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 2: to people and saying, wouldn't it be great if we

186
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: could go around the world start getting young athletes in

187
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: high school so that we can grow with them and

188
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: grow up with them.

189
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: It would be great, would be so good.

190
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: Excitingly, the WNBL confirmed that AWSN has purchased the rights

191
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: to broadcast the WNBL with a digital platform set to

192
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: air forty eight WNBL regular season games live, along with

193
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: all finals games. Christy Collier Hill, head of the WNBL,

194
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 2: told media reaching fans globally and showcasing how incredible athletes, clubs,

195
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: and competition is a major milestone for the league. We're

196
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: excited to see the positive impact this will bring to

197
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: our players, fans, and stakeholders.

198
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: That's a really exciting new to WNBL to be I

199
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: think the first Australian sporting organization on the AWSN. And

200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: like we said, visibility is so important. So to be

201
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: streaming across sixty five different countries, huge kids across the

202
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: global know your name and I think that's really special.

203
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: So good. In some WBBL news, Alyssa Herely found herself

204
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: in an unfamiliar position last Thursday, the Ossie captain and

205
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: we could keep her for the Sydney Sixers found herself

206
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: without the keeping gloves on in her side's twelve run

207
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: loss to the Brisbane Heat. Funnily enough, the ball still

208
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: found her. She managed to swallow two catches in the outfield,

209
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: but unfortunately and knee injury will see heally missed the

210
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: remainder of the WBBL and there are concerns about her

211
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: fitness ahead of next month's ODII series against India. The

212
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: WBBL finals race is set to go down to the wire,

213
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: with just four points separating teams one to six in

214
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: the standings. The Sydney Thunder looked to be the team

215
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: to beat, sitting on top of the table with ten points,

216
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: but shockingly, the two time raining champions, the Adelaide Strikers

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: have just one win from seven matches and they look

218
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: set to miss the top four. The top four events

219
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: to the finals in WBBL ten, with the top ranked

220
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: team at the end of the fifty six game regular

221
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: season directly progressing to and hosting the final on December first.

222
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: In boxing, I think everyone saw this on their socials,

223
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: but sixty million people turned on Netflix to watch fifty

224
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: eight year old Mike Tyson fight in a ridiculous bout

225
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: against Jake Paul, who was thirty one years younger than

226
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: the veteran. But the real contest took place in the

227
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: first fight before the main card, when Katie Taylor defended

228
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: her super lightweight crown against Amanda Serrano in a very

229
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: controversial points decision. The Puerto Rican Serrano appeared to dominate

230
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: the fight, landing three hundred and twenty four punches to

231
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: Taylor's two hundred and seventeen, but when the scorecards were

232
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: read out, it was once again the Irish woman Taylor

233
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: who got the decision, with all three judges scoring the

234
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: fight ninety five to ninety four. Serrano was cut horribly

235
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: over the right eye by an accidental headbut but set

236
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: after the fight. She kept headbutting me. It's what she does.

237
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: It's not just my fight, it's all her fights. Taylor

238
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: was once twice for excessive use of her head, and

239
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: she had a point deducted in the eighth.

240
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: Rounds, I mean the nine rounds. They were in enthralling

241
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: battle held at the home of the Dallas Cowboys in

242
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: front of an estimated crowd of seventy thousand fans. So

243
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: this follows an equally high quality fight between the two

244
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: fighters in April twenty twenty two, which some hailed as

245
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: one of the best fights ever held at Madison Square Garden.

246
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: So these two have a seriously good history going on.

247
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: Serrano said after the fight, I knew if it went

248
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: to the judges it was going to be a little shady.

249
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: I chose to be great. I went up three divisions.

250
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: It is what it is. I'm a featherweight man. Taylor

251
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: defended herself and her performance, saying I certainly wasn't fighting dirty.

252
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: It gets rough in there. It was an absolute slug fest,

253
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: a war. This is an amazing moment in women's boxing.

254
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: Thank God for another amazing fight. So it looks to

255
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: be plenty between these two, as we said, and a

256
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: third fight is absolutely on the cards, with promoters looking

257
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: to take Taylor home to fight in Ireland at Croke Park,

258
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: which could hold more than eighty two thousand people. I

259
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: think we should absolutely make that happen. I think we

260
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: should go and che bez yes advice? Why not? All right,

261
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the key stories in some

262
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: cricket news. Australian Cricket has announced in Afghanistan women's eleven

263
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: will play a T twenty match in Melbourne in January,

264
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: more than three years after the players fled the Taliban

265
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: in their home country. They will compete against a side

266
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: assembled by the Cricket Without Borders charity at Junctionoval on

267
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: Thursday January thirty. It will be the first time an

268
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: Afghanistan women's cricket team has taken to the field since

269
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: the Taliban's bloody takeover in at twenty twenty one. The

270
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: players will assemble for a two day camp in Melbourne

271
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: to reconnect and train with each other after being spread

272
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: between Melbourne and Canberra after their arrival.

273
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: The group of players have repeatedly asked the ICC for

274
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: assistance in setting up a team in Australia, but these

275
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: requests have been knocked back by the ICC's requirement that

276
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: only the governing body of cricket in Afghanistan, the Afghanistan

277
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: Cricket Board, could organize the team. The players released a

278
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: joint statement in July saying, in part, like the Afghanistan

279
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: men's tem are afforded, we aim to pete at the

280
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: highest levels. We want to recruit and train girls and

281
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: women who love cricket, to show the world the talent

282
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: of Afghan women and to demonstrate the great victories they

283
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: can achieve if given a chance. Through the leadership and

284
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 2: financial support of the ICC, there has been a push

285
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: to set aside a percentage of Afghanistan cricket revenue to

286
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: fund women's cricket, but so far this has failed. It

287
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: has been reported that the Afghanistan Cricket Board receives about

288
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: seventeen million US dollars annually as part of the ICC's

289
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: revenue distribution model. The large majority of these funds are

290
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: used to allow the men's team to reside and play

291
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: cricket in the UAE and India, as they cannot play

292
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: in Afghanistan due to security issues.

293
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Sidney Morning Herald spoke to Afghanistan Cricketer Farusa Ami. In

294
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: July this year, Farusa received a visa to travel to

295
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: Australia due to her status as a cricketer contracted to

296
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: the ACB, the Afghanistan Cricket Board. However, after the Taliban

297
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: took over, her family had to hide her identity as

298
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: the Taliban do not allow females to play sport in Afghanistan.

299
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: She was unable to leave via cables airport as a

300
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: Taliban regime reserted itself, and instead her family concocted a

301
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: story the family were traveling to Pakistan for a hospital

302
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: visit at each check point, hiding who they really were

303
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: and where they were actually going. To ensure her secret

304
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: was kept safe, Peruza burned everything that signified she played cricket.

305
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: She burned her uniforms, her equipment and her bats. The

306
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: family experienced a terrifying moment in at talking But, with

307
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Faruza telling the Cidney Morning Herald when we arrived in Talkio,

308
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: there were Taliban asking where we were going, and when

309
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: we said the hospital, they were asking for medical stifts,

310
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: which we didn't have. Then my brother says, okay, I'm

311
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: a basketball player and I have a match. I have
