I reckon, 20 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 3: like particularly here there's a real support from the Whacker. 21 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, it's that. That was incredible. Cooper Connolly. 22 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 3: So this kid nineteen years old, right steps in. He's 23 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: faced eleven balls the entire tournament and he comes in 24 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: and really at that point it was. 25 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: The heats game. 26 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: After the captain was out. 27 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, one just turned. 28 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: He'd done all the damage, he'd been fantastic. He gets 29 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: run out in ridiculous circumstances. And then you're bringing in 30 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: this kid who's nineteen faced, eleven balls, played four games. 31 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: And then on the other side. 32 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 3: You've got an accountant, full time accountant that works for 33 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: Ernst and Young. 34 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 2: Like, these guys are not supposed to win you the tournament, and. 35 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: Yet they did. 36 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: They came in, they were fantastic, both of them level headed. 37 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: And it comes back to exactly. 38 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: What we always talk about with the scorches. 39 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 3: Just backing guys in, developing players, seeing it through. It's 40 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: not all about how many runs you make in that 41 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: first season or even your first game or whatever. It's 42 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: about backing them in year after year. And Cooper Connelly like, 43 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: this is a this kid's a prodigy, right, So Hobson 44 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: fantastic story accountant right, has worked his butt off. He's 45 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: a good player. Connelly could be anything. This kid, right, 46 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: this is not a fluke for him. I don't think 47 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: this kid is the under nineteen's Australian captain. If you 48 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: talk to anyone at the Whacker for the last four years, 49 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: they've been saying just wait, just wait and see this 50 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 3: Cooper Connelly kid. And they all love him too. Apparently 51 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: he's the nice kid. 52 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: During the season, he was good. 53 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: He's good, it's just because he was so far down 54 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: the order a quick twenty. But this is sort of 55 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 3: his moment where he's announced himself now right, and he's 56 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: put more pressure on himself. But from all accounts, he 57 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: can handle it. He's not an arrogant little man. He 58 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: is a very very good young kid. So this is 59 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: exciting for w a cricket. He is really the next 60 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: the next next big thing because Aaron Hardy is the 61 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: next big thing. Yeah, now Keeper Connelly is the next 62 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: next big thing. So what a fantastic night. It was 63 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: fifty three thousand, eight hundred and eighty six people. 64 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 6: Movement speaking of Aaron Hardy and he wasn't the only 65 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 6: scorch You're running on the field at the end. But 66 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 6: they look like excited kids, didn't they They really did. 67 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: They really did like and this club, like we talked 68 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: about it on Friday as to why, you know, we 69 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: thought that they would win. They treat it like a 70 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: genuine team. I think a lot of what happens around 71 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,279 Speaker 3: the world with tournaments like you know, T twenty tournaments, 72 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: you're bringing in stars and you're just trying to put 73 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 3: bums in seats and you want them to hit some sixers. 74 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: The Scorches don't act like that. They treat themselves as a. 75 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 3: Genuine team and they don't just chase big names and 76 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: they don't just chase like talent. The first thing that 77 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: matters is the person. Yes, then can you play cricket 78 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: and do you fit in with what we do? And 79 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 3: guess what it works? 80 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: Which is very much to Justin Langer thing and now 81 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: in Adam it starts. 82 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: It starts with Justin Langer and Christina Matthews and the 83 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: infrastructure at the Whacker and Adam Voge is the perfect 84 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: man to take over and he's done himself. You know, 85 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: it's back to back fantastic. So really you just can't 86 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 3: speak higher of the Scorches. They do every single thing right. 87 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: And if it was these teams on the East Coast 88 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: who winge about the talent level at Scorches, maybe just 89 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: spend some more time looking in your own backyard? 90 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 4: Does it winge about the talent level? That doesn't make 91 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: men sense. 92 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: There's a belief, yeah, because we have one team that 93 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: we have an advantage to Sydney teams in the two Victoria. Yeah, exactly, 94 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: get over it be better? How about that be better? 95 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 6: I think one of the coolest things I'll show you 96 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 6: first lose this photo with aj Tye with young Cooper Conley. Yeah, 97 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 6: and then with his teammate. Put this on our social 98 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 6: Do you send this photo? 99 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 100 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 6: It's beautiful to seem as a little kid with aj 101 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 6: ty now as your teammate and they're hugging each other 102 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 6: after the win. 103 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 3: And you see a Tye he dyed his hair blonde 104 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: half days round the peroxide right through. It's fantastic and 105 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: good news as well. On the morning of the game, 106 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: aj Tye signed on for another year, so keeping the 107 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: band together. 108 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 5: First test starts on Thursday. What can we expect from 109 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 5: that one? Well, then it'll be a lot longer. 110 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: It'll be a lot longer than the BBO games. Yes, 111 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 3: those traditionalists will be very happy again. Obviously it's in India, 112 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: so tough, very difficult, right. We haven't won there a lot, 113 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: and we have this sort of mix now with our 114 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: bowling where we have a really good fast bowling team. 115 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: But you don't want to play too many fast over there. 116 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: So they're weighing up right now. How many spinners do 117 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: we play? Do we play two? 118 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: Do we play three? Now, if you had cam Green playing, 119 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 3: you could maybe get away with playing you know, three spinners, 120 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 3: and they're having cam Green as a backup quick anyway, 121 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: The big thing is Josh Hazelwood is likely not to play, 122 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 3: so that saves them one decision, one fast baller out. 123 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: Mitchell Stark obviously still has a finger injury, so the 124 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: question is who comes in. Lance Morris is a chance. 125 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: Played in the Scorches semi final or whatever they call 126 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: it last week. He's a real genuine chance to make 127 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: his depoose, So fingers cross for him will be him 128 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: or Scottie Boland. He comes in for Hazelwood. If Hazelwood does miss, 129 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: he's got some Achilles souness. Cam Green did some batting, 130 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 3: reaggravated that finger, nothing too serious, but they're just saying 131 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: this is why we're not rushing him to. 132 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: Come back straight away. 133 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: The thing is if you play well in India, it's 134 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: great for your career as well. So these guys that 135 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: are going over there, they want to win the Test series, 136 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 3: but in the back of all their minds, this this 137 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: stuff can make you a god in cricket, right, Warny 138 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: Brett Lee, Like these guys are Gilly. 139 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Mister Gilly, mister Gilly. 140 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: You go if Gilly goes to India, like he's literally 141 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 2: a god. 142 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 4: They made a Bollywood movie. 143 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: There you go. 144 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: Breton leaves hit singles. 145 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: They're absolutely massive, so it can really change your life. 146 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: So they're all going over there. They want to win, 147 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: of course, but you know you also want to perform 148 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 3: well individually, which is always the thing. 149 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 6: We see Ashton a do well, get a game, do 150 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 6: well and become mister Ashton mister and they'll love him 151 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 6: the whole thing. 152 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: Exactly. 153 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: So yeah, very exciting opportunity, tough series starts I think 154 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 3: twelve o'clock per time, his first. 155 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 6: Ball, which is great timing to get used to the heat, 156 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 6: the humidity and not being sick. 157 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, yeah, exactly, and the strange wickets over there too. 158 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: Yeah. 159 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be a fascinating series. 160 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: And we'll fly Cooper Connley over Toah. 161 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: You get him in. There's any trouble, send Cooper. 162 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 6: So the Wildcats made history last year sadly by missing 163 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 6: the playoffs, and this year they're in. 164 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: They snuck in, snuck in. So we talk about the 165 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: two games. Remember they had to win at least one. 166 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 3: They lost Friday night, and they really should that's the 167 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: team they should have beat. 168 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: Yep, And so I think a lot of people thought done, 169 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: it's done. 170 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: He rocked up on Sunday against the best team in basketball. 171 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: That the equation was they had to win by eleven 172 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: or more. 173 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: They won by twelve. 174 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 3: So talk about talk about just right down the wire. 175 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: But it was a fantastic atmosphere at Luke Travers, who 176 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: is the kid who he's actually best mates with Luke Jackson, 177 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: who's the Dockers big recruit. Grew up playing basketball together. 178 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: He's the guy who got drafted to the NBA last year. 179 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: But they said, you know what. 180 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: Stay in Perth, play another season. This could have been 181 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: his last game as a Wildcat, and you could tell 182 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: that it meant something to him. He comes out and 183 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: scores twenty two points, eleven boards, six assists. If he 184 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: doesn't play that well, they don't win. So really good 185 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: performance from Luke Traviors. So what happens now is they 186 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: will play the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix on Thursday. But it's 187 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: only one game. Like win, you keep going lose, you 188 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: around yeah, typically there's a series, but the way the 189 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: NBL structure it now is the first couple of finals 190 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 3: are elimination finals essentially. 191 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're called players.
