1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation got him. My son Liam texted

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: me on the weekend and said turn the TV on

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: and what a great thing it was that we did.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: We saw the T twenty Black Clash. This is an

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: annual game, a cricket match, New Zealand cricket team taking

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: on the All Blacks. They play against each other with

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: some special sports stars thrown in, one of whom was

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Brian Lara. One of whom was Jonathan Thurston, who had

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: to bowl at Brian Lara. We've managed to track down

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Jonathan Thurston. He did admit to playing with a hangover.

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: How's he feeling today? Hello, Jonathan JT. Are you there over?

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: Oh this is a terrible what's happened? Yeah? Cool? Yeah

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: and severely.

14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: But if you got on this base station mate.

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: Well that's what happens with me. Like playing with the

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: Princeville Cricket you've got to try and keep up with him.

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: Well, what was so intriguing to me is actually you're

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: a very good cricketer. Most sporting stars do, They all

19
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: have good hand eye coordination. Does all this stuff come naturally?

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. I grew up playing cricket as

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: a kid and it's pretty much any our blood living

22
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: in Australia played footy in the winter and cricket in

23
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: the summer. So yeah. And then when I was sixth

24
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: green concentrated on footy. But to be able to play

25
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: on a match with and I don't like I was

26
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: just too good of an offer to refuse.

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: And how did you feel bowling at Brian Lara, one

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: of the world's best cricketers.

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I played in Origin matches. I played

30
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: in for the Kerrs one little cops, run a premiership

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: with the Cowboys. But bowling and over to Brian Lawer

32
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: is my greatest memory and loves Really are you saying.

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: That because he's sitting next to you on the way

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: to go?

35
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: Yes, he's right beside me.

36
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: So Brian's just sitting there in the car with you.

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: Tell him we said hello James, Demanda said hello.

38
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: James, and Amanda said hello Bill.

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: And he is he is?

40
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: He? Is he suffering a hangover as well? Or is

41
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: it just you James? No, just just me. You can't

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: beat experience and he's pretty experienced.

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Is there any way at all that the cricketers would

44
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: play a game of football or is there too big

45
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: a risk of injury. It always has to be cricket.

46
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll be too big of a risk

47
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: for the cricketers. So like, I was pretty nervous in

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: the sheds, like playing rugby league. That's what I you know,

49
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: that's where I'm comfortable. In the sheds. Pre game, I'm

50
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: real calm, I'm real relaxed, you know, going through me

51
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: notes what I need to do for the game. But

52
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: in the sheds, I was like pacing the room. Gavatory

53
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: is going, Are you okay, mate? I said, well, I'm

54
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: about to play cricket, Like, I don't want to make

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: a fool of myself. I just want to, you know,

56
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: do it justice. I was pretty nervous pacing the room,

57
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: and yeah, I was doing in nerves. But once I

58
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: got out there and had the first ball, well, actually

59
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: I smashed the first ball for four runs, so I

60
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: was pretty happy for myself. And you were commentating as well,

61
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: which is nice health time. Yes, I was miked up

62
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: as well, which was pretty cool. But I didn't throw

63
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: any shade or any banter to any of the boys.

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: Actually I did. Leon McDonald was letting a few go.

65
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,880
