It's so good. 18 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: And what a wonderful opportunity. 19 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: I always think, you know, I love sport, and I 20 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: just think, what an incredible opportunity for you as a 21 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: young bloke to be able to travel around and coach 22 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: and play the sport that you love. 23 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty lucky. I can't really complain too much. 24 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's been it's been an enjoyable experience and 25 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: it's great to be in the territory. 26 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 4: It's so good for cricketers especially. Yeah, so no, I'm 27 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 4: loving it. And there's plenty going on in cricket. 28 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: There seems to be heaps going on in cricket, like locally, 29 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: but also when you look at what's going on overseas. 30 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: The poems are very, to put it, very bluntly pissed 31 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: off with us at the moment, aren't they. 32 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 4: Yeah they are. 33 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: That's one way they're going off the crowds over there. 34 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 4: Just some of their chances are a bit unfair, you. 35 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Know, tell us Max, because you you know, like you 36 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: know what's going on with the cricket. 37 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: Obviously you are a great player yourself. You're coaching. Like 38 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: what the Aussies did, it was within. 39 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 4: The rules, wasn't it. 40 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, or what they did was completely fine. There 41 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: was nothing really wrong with it. It was just an 42 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: unusual way of going out, which has sparked a bit 43 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: of an uproar. But what Alex Carey did that we 44 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: keep it was completely normal. Bearst I did it earlier 45 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 3: in the Test match in that same game. So what 46 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: Carry did wasn't really out of the box and it 47 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 3: wasn't against the spirit of cricket. So there's nothing really 48 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 3: wrong that he did. So that's that's the first thing 49 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 3: to say. 50 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: Tell us, you know, have you, like, have you seen 51 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: that happen in games that you've been involved in. 52 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've done it. Oh yeah, people do it all 53 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 4: the time. And I think the part where there's a. 54 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: Bit of controversy is because once Alex Carry had taken 55 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: the ball, the ball could be deemed dead. So that 56 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: means that the ball's dead, so the batter can leave 57 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 3: their crease and people can do whatever they want. But 58 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: the ball actually wasn't deemed dead by the umpire and 59 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 3: and so he's walked away. He's walked away and you're 60 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: out of your crease and the ball with the stump, 61 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: So that's that's a runout. 62 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 4: It was a runout. Yeah, so they might not. 63 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: Like it, but it's the rule. It's fair. It's fair. 64 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: And there is a part in the rule spirit of cricket, 66 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: and I think it's written in the rule book and 67 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: that that's where it's like, oh, spirit of cricket. Here 68 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: there was a little bit of confusion. It was a weird, 69 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 3: strange situation. Maybe Australia withdraw their appeal and and call 70 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: Bearstow back. 71 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 4: But but it. 72 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 3: Wasn't to be and the umpires deemed it out. So 73 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: the funny part of all this is the MCC. They 74 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: write the rules and the right they've got. 75 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: The spirit of cricket rules and you've got these Australians. 76 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 4: Now these get treated when it was horrible. 77 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: Hey, that was actually like to me and I you know, 78 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: I love my sport, love contact sports. I've grown up 79 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: as you know in Mount Eyes are watching some of 80 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: the worst all in brawls and things that you've ever. 81 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: Seen at the footy. 82 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: But that was like that was a bridgeway too far 83 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: what they'd done once they. 84 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 4: Left the field. 85 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And I can understand a bit of passion 86 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: for your for your team and country, but just what 87 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 3: they're copying, cheat, cheat, cheat as they walk off and 88 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: you know, they're only like they've got a privilege here 89 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: where they're only within like a meter of the players 90 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: and they get really close to them. But if they're 91 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: going to have that privilege, respect the players and some 92 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: of the stuff that was thrown around in the videos 93 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: and you're seeing and the audio that you're hearing is extraordinary. 94 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 4: It's terrible. Really, it's not fair at all. 95 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: It is. It's absolutely terrible. 96 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Now I know that you've not played at the standard 97 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: off you know, like you're you've not played for the 98 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: Australian team, but you've played in some pretty elite cricket teams. 99 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: I mean that kind of behavior, Like, how would that 100 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: feel for you if you were walking through and you're 101 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: trying to get to the change. 102 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: Rooms and that was going on. 103 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it certainly has an impact on the players and 104 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: it wouldn't be good for the players. 105 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 4: Especially. 106 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: It's hard for the players to know because these supporters 107 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: can be quite biased sometimes and they're just doing it. 108 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: Just so they're one eyed like Australians. 109 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, but it can have an impact and I'm 110 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: sure hopefully they can handle it. But when it gets 111 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: it can get a bit overwhelming when it's so constant 112 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: and it happens all the time. But yeah, it was 113 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: pretty I reckon they went over the line a little 114 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: bit at the crowd there and the Poms they're still 115 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: they still think they're on the on the. 116 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: Front pages of the papers over there. 117 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: They're basically saying the Aussies up to their old tricks 118 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,119 Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff. 119 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: They're fully put in the boogie. 120 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: Yeah they are, tell you what though, it's really spuck up. 121 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: The next game and then there's three more Test matches. 122 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 3: Australia's won two nil, so it could really derail England 123 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 3: and cricket if if they lose the next two games and. 124 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: There's just going to be a big mess for them. 125 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting watch what's your tip? What 126 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: do you reckon is going to happen? 127 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 3: I think at home you can't see Australia winning every Test, 128 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 3: even though that'd be really nice. 129 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: But I think England will bounce back. 130 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: But Australia's they're so good that the team they've got 131 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: out there are really good. And for them to be 132 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: beating England, I think they've only ever done it twice 133 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 3: beat them in a series over there, so it's quite 134 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: remarkable in the history of the game. 135 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 4: So wonderful team is doing very well at the moment. 136 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, a wonderful woll mate. They were asking me 137 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: about the cricket on Sky News last night. I should 138 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: have called you beforehand to just get some background. 139 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 2: Rule checks, mate, to know exactly what the go is. 140 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: But I like the way that I actually put it 141 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: last night, and I would say it again, is that, 142 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, if you were at an under twelves game 143 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: and something like that happened and people were chanting, you know, cheat, cheat, 144 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: cheat on the sideline, you get kicked out and you've 145 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: been a lot of trouble. So I think that you 146 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: can't you know, you can't be behaving in that way 147 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: when you're talking about cricket being played in the most 148 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: or it's meant to be the most respected place. 149 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 4: The home of cricket. That's right. 150 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: And I think three of the members got band or 151 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: they caught something wrong. They copped something for it, which 152 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: was good to see them acting it, but yeah, it's 153 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: not a good example for the kids and people in 154 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: these days you know, TikTok and everyone can see all 155 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: these things. It's not the best example. So good that 156 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: they're setting a setting an example by banning these these members. 157 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: But at the same time, yeah, yeah, they really needed 158 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't really acceptable. 159 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 4: So we'll see what the response is. But doesn't look 160 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: like the problems are backing down. 161 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: And then the Prime Minister's like stepped in and he's 162 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: basically called us you know, or said that it wasn't 163 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: in the spirit of the game, and you go, well, 164 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: hang on a second. What's not in the spirit of 165 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: the game is getting up in someone's face afterwards when 166 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: they're meant to be able to get to the sheds. 167 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you call them sheds, it's there. 168 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: They're pretty fancy. But yeah, I just thought it was 169 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: a really interesting scenario.
